Hi, Building a new computer. Can someone recommend a power supply? Hoping to find some thing 650/800W and is quiet. And would like to stay under $100.00
Thank you, Mark
Seasonic power supplies are usually quiet, though you might have trouble finding one un $100. How quiet are the rest of your computer components?
Thank for the reply. I am just looking at parts now for a new build. But I do want everything to be quiet. This computer will be in the living room.
What part of Ma. Are you from?
$100 for Seasonic is plenty, however, the power suply is usually not the loudest part, or even audible. I've got 1 system with a very cheap case that has an antec unit in and I can hear the case fans over the PSU, my system used to be in a cheap, thin case, I could hear all other fans over my Corsair PSU. So long as you get a decent unit, you will have no problems.
However, what is decent depends on your needs. What are the specs of your system?
If you have only a "general use" system for browsing the net, looking at photos, watching videos etc, then you can get a $40 PSU that will be close to silent, if you were to spend $100 on a higher wattage unit, it would be a bad move, because it would be less efficient, and you would also be wasting money
