The XPG Core Reactor 650W is a good one as well

Oiiiii, even more names! hahaha

But this one super over budget, RM500+ lol

If you can find one in stock, the NZXT C650 can be had for RM409 (Seasonic OEM)

Lol you're gonna make go 100% over my initial budget! I started off budgeting RM200+ for the PSU before any research!

RM360 toppppp la. What you think? RM360 for the best available PSU 650w. Leadex III Bronze?

My bad then

Anyway I think the Segotep GP700P should be a good one, or alternatively the Leadex III Bronze as well

Note that there are two variants of the GP700P, one of which is a white colored one like this:

This is meant for the Chinese market, and uses CapXon caps
The black colored one (which is meant for the export market) uses Teapo caps, rather than CapXons in the white colored one:

Thank you so much. Will suggest both the Segotep GP700P and Leadex III to my builder.

Doing PSU research is tricky, though

Way too many variants and need to scour the Chinese/Korean interwebs just to find a proper review for those units

Tell me about it. I've spent about 15 hours of my christmas leave just comparing PSUs. Whats worse is that even narrowing down to the same brand (Super flower) doesn't particularly help when they have numerous models around the same price without a discernible difference to a lay person like myself

Yeah, finding good PSUs here is tricky considering they are not sold elsewhere and very few wants to make a review on it (and it's hard to review them as you need expensive equipment and decent knowledge on PSUs just to review one)

Still the Segotep GP-T/Leadex III are the best ones out there, with the Segotep one being a Tier B+ unit:
https://linustechtips.com/topic/1116640-psu...-psu-tier-list/

It doesn't really matter that the Leadex III is the bronze variety right? I see almost all reviews are for the Leadex III gold.

It's a different unit, and is a Tier B (low priority, due to lack of reviews) unit according to the LTT PSU tier list

Although it should be fine (modern topology + Japanese main capacitors, and usually Super Flower tends to use fairly high quality components in their units)

Haha, ok good enough for me! Now on to my final headache; PC CASING!

Speaking about cases, just make sure you avoid anything with a solid front panel

Always buy something with a front mesh panel (Gamers Nexus often advises users to go for a mesh front panel case, due to much better thermal performance over the solid ones)

Lolz time to harass you again for suggestions. Was recommended https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0__o1twmOo&t=123s Montech Air X but quite hard to find reviews about it. Looks good to me. Thoughts?

? There's a TPU review here:

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/montech-...ow-atx-chassis/ (currently site is down)

Yeah so far only this and a couple of random youtubers. Couldn't really find a like-for-like, equal budget/price comparison.

Still, the thermals are pretty decent:

There's another review too:
https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comme...th_the_montech/

Thanks, already read the reddit one a couple of weeks ago, unfortunately not many replies to that post.

Just half an hour of watching reviews and already there are quite a few highly rated ones :- Phanteks 400a, Lancool 215, Corsaid 4000D. Nobody seems to be mentioning the montech though unfortunately.

There's also the P300A too

Montech is not a very well known case maker, so that's why there's so little reviews out there, but it's cheap and performs well, so there's not something you should worry too much about

Hi guys, would appreciate some help with deciding on a PSU for the following specs:-

CPU : Ryzen 5 3600
GPU: GTX 1070 (to be upgraded sometime next year)
MOBO : MSI B550m Mortar.
