    Arrow Which Power Supply to buy?

    Which PSU should be ok for the following config?

    My usecase is such, that the system is Always On(24*7).



    And i plan to OC a little..


    The following are my options:

    -- Seasonic S12II-520 -Rs 3600 (my first choice)
    -- Corsair 600GS -Rs 4000
    -- Corsair 550VX -Rs 4900 (I wanna avoid this as it wud be a blow to budget)


    The purpose of the thread:

    --> Is it ok if i stick with seasonic S12II-520?
    --> If not, im even ok with Corsair 600GS.
    --> But if 600GS is not good enough ill have to shift to 550VX. So is 600GS good enough?

    Why not go for TacensSupero 600W for 3.5k.
    Its much like the Seasonic S12II-520 and for the same price too.

    Also avaoid GS series as they are not so good built. VX-550 will be a better choice rather.

    With Seasonic S12II-520 i think il be cutting it too close. As my power consumption comes to around 500W.

    And My budget is: 4000k But i also want a great power supply. I blew out my previous computer(very powerful,..very sad) because of cheap PSU.

    @saswat

    I havnt read much about TacensSupero 600W for 3.5k. Ill research now though. But isnt going with corsair or seasonic, best..

    Cheap PSU's are cheap because they are bad and they do not provide the amount of power that they are rated to give and that's why your previous system blew up. If you buy a real PSU then rest assured it will provide more power than it is rated for.

    Your rig will be easily handled by Seasonic S12II 520. You will not cut it close.

    SeaSonic S12II 520 costs 4.1k not 3.5k.

    Even i used to think 520 Seasonic would be enough. But then i used this(n few others) Power calculators:

    http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp

    It turns out my consumption would be 518W and Recommended one is 550W


    I guess i have no option but to go with Corsair 550VX.
    Expensive but great reviews.
