Help choosing a PSU

[lunatic4u2nv]

I am building a new computer soon, and would like to know which PSU would best suite my new computer. Any thoughts are appreciated. If you need other info, feel free to ask.

I was think of using the Antec TruePower New TP-750 Blue 750W Continuous Power ATX12V V2.3 / EPS12V V2.91 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC "compatible with Core i7/Core i5" Power Supply. But i do not know anything about PSUs.

Thanks in advanced ^^

The Antec is a decent choice, and you should be all set. Don't worry about it.

I was looking at the mb and psu and saw that the motherboard takes a 8pin CPU connector, and that the PSU has a 4pin ATX and a 8pin EPS. Can the 8pin EPS be used for the CPU power connector?

Thanks

i personally would get this SILVERSTONE OP800 800W ATX i think its a great psu and also maybe a corsair 750 HX series psu. Also rage knows almost everything about psu so if he says its good then we listen

Looks good.
All I can say is that gaming peripherals are overrated and overpriced.

I agree with HK. I own a Razer Lycrosa, and its a seriously overated keyboard in my opinion. If you like your keys to feel hard its not too bad, but my experiences of it have been frustrating.

I also don't feel much of my Razer Deathadder gaming mouse either. I now own a Logitech G9 gaming mouse and am much happier with it. The Deathadder in comparison just doesn't feel right at all.

No comment on the PSU, as Rage has you well covered in that area.

 

[Rage_3K_Moiz]

The EPS12V connector is the motherboard CPU power connector, and is meant to be used as such.

The OP800 is an Impervio-built unit. Almost the same quality as the Antec, besides for the possibly-higher efficiency on the Antec supply and the fact that it's compliant with a newer ATX spec; overall, I'd choose the Antec.

However, if I'd be spending that much, I'd spend it on this PSU. It hits the sweet spot vis-a-vis price and performance, and it's a high-quality unit, so no problems there either. Also, make sure to use the promo code, if you buy it in time.

Good luck.

Thank you all for the help thus far. I think I will get the Antec because most of the cables I won't need can be disconnected to reduce clutter. Right now I have a Logitech G11 Keyboard and Logitech G5 Mouse. I think this keyboard is to big for my since i don't need all the macro keys. What Keyboard and Mouse would you suggest?

Thanks.

 

[hellokitty[hk]]

For the keyboard...free/super cheap whatever really IMO.
Mouse is definitely more important for me, but I still feel guilty for dropping so much money on my own razer arctosa and lachesis. In the future, I'd only spend <$30 USD absolute max.

Is that power pc power and cooling power supply not modular?

 

[lunatic4u2nv]

When I looked at it, it didn't look modular, but the Antec is like a hybrid modular. So a keyboard is a keyboard? Well I have never had any problems with Logitech, maybe ill find a new smaller Logitech keyboard, and maybe the same mouse I have. Will have to look around.

Thanks

 

[hellokitty[hk]]

Just my opinion, but there is no big difference in usability with a ≈$70 lycosa vs a decent "normal" keyboard, probably $10 max. Just not worth the cash o.o.

I would agree with this as well, when compared with my Lycrosa - I have cheaper keyboards that feel much better, but its a personal preference so always hard to find a one size fits all solution online.

 

[lunatic4u2nv]

How would the G500 mouse and G110 be? The mouse seems like a better version of mine, and the keyboard a smaller version of mine. Well its also Logitceh, i have never had problems with them.

Thanks

 

[klepto12]

i have the logitech G15 keyboard and the razor deathadder mouse both very nice i love them both.

 

[LinkedKube]

naga razor here. My hand is too big to reach buttons 9-12, lmao. My g15 got caught in the basement flood last year, and I have been using a cheap logitech keyboard, cost me 8 dollars. That was last year when the american dollar was a little stronger I've spilled kool-aid, root beer and half a bottle of windex on it. Still works.

If you're looking for a modular supply, then I recommend this Silverstone unit over the Antec one.
