Oct 19, 2018 78 0 4,530 I’m buying a power supply for my new build : Rtx 2060 I5 9600kf Z390 M I’m not sure if I should go for gigabyte g750h (750w) gold or Corsair TX650M gold , the gigabyte is 30$ cheaper so which should I buy ? , also , will the gigabyte 750w will have more power consumption than the 650w Corsair ? Money isn’t the issue , I just want the better psu.. also I heard a lot that said that TX550M is enough for that build , please give me your opinion. Solution my thing here is gigabyte just started making power supplies so they are new to the game and i never looked into who actully makes them. they could be a rebranded corsair or seasonic. if you cant find out though i would go with corsair because they have been in the power supply game for a very long time the corsair PSU i have in my sig has powered 2 PC builds since 2012 Sort by date Sort by votes

Oct 16, 2019 89 8 45 If the money is not an issue, i would go for a bit higner power PSU from Corsair or Seasonic (750-850W) just to make sure you will avoid complications with any slight upgrades or overclocks you may do in the future. There is a tier list on PSU in the forum, i would suggest you take a look at it. Increasing the power will mean less usage on the PSU and more silent gaming at low end games or normal use Upvote -1 Downvote O

So more Watts doesn’t mean more power consumption? Upvote 0 Downvote

No, more wats doesn't mean more power consumption, more wats means more available power if needed on your build. The power consumption depends on the PC parts and overclocks (if any). The 80 plus gold/platinum/titanium PSU's are usually the best there is, and they come with hefty at the very minimum 5 to 12+ years warranty Upvote 0 Downvote O

I think visiting the PSU Thread in this forum will be more of a benefit to you to look for what is better, and compare the different PSU's. Upvote -1 Downvote

Sep 26, 2019 330 62 340 I'd reccomend the Gigbyte for the extra power, my rule of thumb is to always try to have about 50% more wattage than the computer is expected to use. Both are mainstream brands with a good reputation so I doubt either unit is bad. Upvote 0 Downvote
