Which PSU should I buy? in Desktops ·
Timothy Kim60 said:Sure, it might technically work—but here’s the catch: that budget model is just part of the cheap Corsair line (I'm talking those low-end units with questionable, knock-off capacitors). Honestly? Just skip it. If you're looking at Corsair, the CX series is a step up, though I'd personally aim for the TX line. You really need to look at the build quality, the efficiency rating, and specifically how much actual power it delivers on the 12V rail compared to what's printed on the box.
In this specific price bracket, this unit is basically the gold standard for reliability and raw power: http://www.newegg.com/p/product_info.php?product_id=9848

Thanks for the reply!

I’ve got my PC build laid out here—everything seems set, but I’m obsessing over the power supply. Is this enough juice?
GPU: Radeon HD 7950
Motherboard: ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z 990FX/SB950
RAM: 16GB Corsair DDR3, 1600MHz
CPU: Intel Core i7-8700K
Everything else—hard drives, mouse, speakers, you name it—is already accounted for...
Cooler: Cooler Master Frio Advanced
And the PSU I’m currently eyeing is
Corsair VS Series 650W
Will this hold up, assuming I don't mess around with overclocking?
