How long is a piece of string?



No one knows how long electronics will last dude, it could go on forever perfect or you could have parts die every other week.

Cant put any cd-rom,sound card,game pad,flash drive,water cooler,card reader
Maybe i search some 850+ psu -with some reserve

 

[Xrqute]

And make sure you get a gold or platinum rated psu.

Tacens VALEO V 900W 80+ Silver
I think from Spain,it,s cheap-will be very bad choice ?Any reviews ?

 

[Excalabur50]

DON'T buy a cheap PSU you WILL regret it buy a Corsair or Seasonic or the like

no *all* corsair psu's are created equal either, be sure to post here to let us know what you're thinking about first and we can help with your decision.

Some corsair PSUs are junk.

You want to go for a 850w gold power supply. EVGA do a good cheap one.

the "CORSAIR RM850 850W 80+ Gold ~ 143 euro" is more then decent mate.

If it was me, I'd opt for the Seasonic

I concur but i was also looking at that substantial price difference. To me doesn't seem like you're really getting to much more for your dollar.

Seasonic is A LOT more for your dollar over an RM corsair unit dude.

The SuperNOVA psus are really very good. Good choice .


Superflower or Seasonic are the best for power supplies however you can usually get them for cheaper as a named brand (such as XFX or the higher end coolermaster for Seasonic or EVGA for Superflower).

The corsair AX (not AXi) are seasonic! Can't remember who makes their AXi's though.
