Recommend PSU

[rollbread]

Has been using my PSU for quite a long time, I think time to change a new one.

I've narrowed down to a few modules, around $80~$100 range.

1) Thermaltake Smart SE 730W
2) CoolerMaster G-Power 700W
3) FSP Everest 80PLUS 700W

Is the above models alright? Which model is better?
Or is there other brands and models that is more worth it to get?

THanks in advance for the opinions.

The TT Smart SE psu is pretty cheap for being semi-modular. If budget very strict and need modular then yeah its fine.

If want modular and can spend a little more can go for the Superflower HX 600M ~$109

Any problems with the current one? If none, then why change

Do you need such wattage in the first place.

I might be charging gpu later on and adding other stuff. since 600w and 700w price not much of a difference.

If not which model or brand will you recommend?

i try to avoid CM and recommend seasonic because they are one of the best psu makers

None of the above and go straight for a 80 Plus Gold/Platinum certified quality PSU from Seasonic/Corsair/FSP/Super Flower/Cooler Master. Simply because higher energy efficiency PSU saves you more on energy bill as your real wattage demand increases.

Unless you are telling us you gonna do GPU crossfire/SLI, a 600W PSU will suffice for single GPU card PC setup as upgrading to a new, shiny, strong GPU doesn't directly imply there's an increase in demand for power as these new GPU cards use similarly much as your current old one as they are build on newer smaller silicon nodes, contributing to higher energy efficiency. e.g. R9-290X draws as much power as your good old GTX 580, but performs folds faster...
