Coolermaster for the safe, they have OVP OPP and OCP. 550 is enough for 1 gpu . hdd and ssd not use too much power. (semi medular)

other dont have protection, meaning they are bomb timer, after 3 year warranty, careful maybe it time to burning.

thermaltake is shit psu, too much bad review in internet. try google it. (non medular)

aigo not sure where it from and not much info can get. (medular)

segotep too expensive and no protect, just gold meaning power effective is 90% from 500w it shit. better take 600w with bronze. (medular)

so my suggestion take coolermaster, i other old coolermaster and have use it more than 11 year

SUPER FLOWER LEADEX SILVER ECO 500W is good if you can get it. Around rm250+

For your current rig, 400-450W would be enough too. Adding the GTX 1080... Sure... 500W.

You're putting a 1070/1080 in it but cannot afford PSUs from reputable brands? sweat.gif

RM200-250 is just too low for a decent unit for your GPU icon_idea.gif

The Segotep appears to be manufactured by Fortech Electronics, and it's also worth noting that both Fortech and Segotep are owned by Colorful (a very well known nVidia GPU AIB partner in China) icon_idea.gif

I'll look for something like Seasonic like the Seasonic Focus Plus 650W from Idealtech for about RM499 icon_idea.gif

The important part is it has a 10 year warranty, and buying a good one will last you a very long time and gives you plenty of headroom for upgrades icon_idea.gif

Superflower's Leadex Silver is a good one too, the performance is just a bit below than the Leadex Gold (which is already a very good unit), but it's not that bad since Superflower is essentially a tier 1 PSU maker (on par with Seasonic, which is considered one of the best out there) icon_idea.gif

I'm not too sure, but I wouldn't want to go with a Silver ECO due to a lack of proper reviews - I'll suggest TS to move up a bit to a 550W/650W Leadex Silver, as the platform is essentially a slightly cut-down version of their Leadex Gold units (which is a very good unit) icon_idea.gif

Well, only if you can find that on sale here. The PSU is questionable since there are no detailed reviews.

Me thinks this is low grade PSU like Corsair VS, Coolermaster MWE, Thermaltake Litepower, Silverstone Strider Essential.

Actually, beside the GPU and CPU, you should try to get a good PSU to ensure your parts are protected. Consider increasing budget to RM350-400 for a good brand and model. You can always reuse it with future upgrades.
