QUOTE(hanaxxaru @ Jun 12 2019, 03:39 PM) i5 4440 Asus reference r9 290x 1TB HDD 4GB x 2 corsair ddr3 ram D5 vario pump 3 case fans and 2 radiator fans Filco keyboard and logitech g403 2 usb 3.0 devices, external HDD and wifi ac usb adapter Basically its a midrange PC but my psu already broken.. it was a seasonic g550 and felt like barely enough.. im looking for a 650w psu but i saw hx750 only cost few more.. In future, i may replaced other hardwares, and 750w seems like sweet spot for any upgrade later.. It'd be pretty overkill for your system even if you upgrade them in future.. But again it's a very good unit and if you can afford them and willing to pay for them why not I guess. However, if you're looking to save some money, can consider Corsair TX650M which is a pretty well built unit: https://shopee.com.my/CORSAIR-TX-M-Serie-TX...7888.1839160415

How about EVGA G+ 850W? sure its OEM is FSP but it is a good unit. I am using one right now and its pretty good. Plus, if I remember correctly, EVGA G+ 850w and 1000w does not have capacitors in their cables (750W and below have it). This means that if you want to get custom made cables you don't have to worry much about whether the lack of capacitors will affect the PSU performance.

Just use it. https://www.gamingscan.com/psu-hierarchy/Please also take note Super Flower Leadex based platform is at the bottom of top tier due to 2nd tier caps on modular board.

I am suggesting to hanaxxaru in case he still haven't bought hx750 I am very happy with mine. No problems so far, very quiet despite not having fanless mode.

CORSAIR TX650M, 650W, 80+ Gold Certified, Semi Modular Power Supply which one to get and why? Either the Leadex II Gold or the Corsair - any one will do unless you need full modular cables

Any recommendation for a quiet, reliable PSU around the 200 mark? FSP seems to be the go. It will be for a budge Ryzen build with no plans to overclock. Just general web surfing and youtube.
