Looking for a cheap(ish) FullModular PSU

Hardware PSU
1

I want to buy a fully modular PSU because the cable clutter in my current build it madness. According to PCPartpicker my build has a TDP of 457W. I'm looking for something that isn't too expensive--something that is good and reliable but I'm tight on money atm.

I've seen gold rated ones like this: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/g63RsY/evga-power-supply-120g10650xr

Wondering if anyone has used the SuperNova PSUs before. Any coil-whine? How loud does the fan get?

For starters pcp is not the most accurate to measure tdp

What is your build

I got nothing but I know someone else will

Are you looking specifically at 80+Gold or higher?

You could get this for $20 cheaper, for 80+Bronze and a little lower TDP:

I've heard good things about Seasonic. I did a set of 8 builds with these power supplies recently and had no issues - pretty quiet too.

R9 390X
i5-4690K
H110i GT AIO cooler
And a couple SSDs and 2.5 inch HDDs

alright thats not too far off then

I would prefer something that is going to last a while. I don't really plan on adding another GPU or anything that would really add much to the TDP (if anything I would get a Fury or one of the new AMD cards in the future, but that wouldn't bring it up much higher than the 390X). I'd feel more comfortable if it is rated higher, though my current power supply is 80+ Bronze.

Yeah, that's why I'm looking around the 600+ range just to be sure I'm giving myself some wiggle room.

perfect

would go for a g2 over a nex(hasnt different oem which is directly competitive with seasonic and enermax etc, best psu's) if you want cream of the crop anyways superflower is definitely competitive, evga ships 10year warranty 650 is ~90 on newegg currently.

nex would be more.. decent enetry level like evga 500b generally work obviously, still some kind of warranty, sort of like a thermaltake/low end antec decent company/support but isnt a flagship product. but if its in the budget could throw ~20$ more or whatever, and get into a high end unit with a g2

edit: oh forgot XD the lower power g2s only have 7 year warranty(750 and up looks 10 year though)

I see the 650 at around $90. The RM850X from Corsair is only $110. Maybe with a black friday sale I can get that for a bit less.

11

I would not really go with neither overpraised EVGA nor overpraised and overpriced Corsair...
EVGA have also overpraised graphics cards, that catch fire, and Corsair already are showing issues with like half their PSUs...
105$

Last i checked the NEX PSUs were sub par

you want something like a GQ or P2

the GQ 650W should be fine and it's $75

You only want fully modular really if you're planning on buying custom sleeved cables for some reason

13

I will likely be getting custom sleeved cables eventually. ATM I just don't want to have 5 unused molex cables and another 4 unused sata cables laying around in the bottom of my case. I like to work on the aesthetics of my build as well as the function once I get to that point.

14

You'll want to pick out what custom cables you want in that case, and then buy whatever PSU supports the cables you want

course personally I care nothing for aesthetics lol

15

If I did get anything they will likely be plain black sleeved cables so pretty much any PSU should have an option for that.
