@the_randomizer well, my evga supernova g2 750 watts just arrived today, however i will not put it into work until i get the rest of my computer probably at the end of this week
my 2 choices were between the evga and corsair
both of them are great choices i think...
i did go with evga because well, there are too many models on corsair that made me confused lol... evga sounded like a rock solid choice
one thing to know about PSU
the supernova g2 is a superflower (evga buys and rebrands it from another company)
while corsair and seasonic buys from the same company
there is info on the internet to know the real brand that made the PSU if you want to give it a look...
as long as it is from a reputatble brand.. should be ok..
btw, don't be fooled by the 80 plus rating, people usually thing "wow, gold is better than bronze" blablabla is better blablabla
well, the 80 plus rating only says if a PSU is efficient (it is a test of how much electricity it wastes at specific load levels)
this means, a platinum or titanium psu is more friendly towards your electrical bill and is closer to the total rated value (I.E a 750 watts titanium psu will deliver really close to the 750 watts) keep in mind, the tests are measured in specific loads, so a ratted platinum can be very efficient when full load, but if you are using for example 70% of the capacity, it can have a lower efficiency level than under 100% load
a new build without a GPU will waste very little, from what i understand it will spend like 100 watts up to about 150 maximum...
in nvidea website says a 1080 ti wastes 250 watts, and it is reccomended to use a 600 watts power suply..
if you are not going with SLI and using a budget psu, i would say get a 600 watts PSU max, with 80 plus rating of gold or more...
there are some dumbies who get a 1000 cheap as fuck powersuply for their single GPU and i5 build because "there loads of watts for gaming"
i did my research, i choose the 750 watts because it's the lowest value that makes me confortable for the future... (i plan to get an high end GPU like the 1080ti, and do overclocking so..)
so, try to search how much does your build uses at maximum, add a little extra to be safe, round it up and there ya go, you will save your electrical bill and have a good psu
