When new graphics cards can peak a system over 1000watts 550 seems a little underpowered these days.
Although props go to Seasonic for reputation for good psu.

I paid $95 + $7.99 shipping last month and thought it was an ok deal. I needed to replace a 13 year old Antec Earthwatts 380W
$10 cheaper now for a solid PSU with 7 year warranty.... OP gets my up vote

3090 is 364W peak.
Recommended system power from them, 750W, which is $115 from OP.

I'm running 3070 with r5 3600(oc) on a 500w psu. I have no issues at all.jpwkr1 wrote: ↑ https://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/g ... iew,7.html

Some people are paying for more wattage than necessary.

Sounds like you’re getting FOMO’d by bigger numbers. The most ridiculous setups will rarely need more than 750. 550-650 is beyond enough for your average enthusiast.sirxterminator wrote: ↑ When new graphics cards can peak a system over 1000watts 550 seems a little underpowered these days.

in his defense:
I wouldn't call a Ryzen 5 + 3080 a "ridiculous setup"

Already posted as a deal for the 750W at $115 which is what I would opt for in most builds.

These are pretty good deals on Seasonic power supplies, they rarely go majorly on sale.

Yeah a threadripper (280w peak) and 3090 (360w peak) is still far under 1000w and no gamer or regular consumer in their right mind would spend the money on those. ( $5k CPU and $3k GPU [looks like prices are going up])
Maybe a serious professional production work rig using these components might need 1000w.

The 750 is a great deal at $115 + tax, if budget allows I would definitely go for that for headroom. 850W for $144.99 + tax is not bad. Shipping is $8 for any of them but doesn't kill the deal imo.
That said if it will always ever be for a simple system, 550W is sufficient for a great deal of them (including some entry level gaming PCs as well) especially when it's a solid Gold rated one.
Good deal OP.

I paid $100 plus $8 shipping for this at the end of October. Calling this a "warm deal" is a disservice.

If you are running enough video card/cpu to peak over 1000 watts, you can afford a ridiculous power supply.sirxterminator wrote: ↑ When new graphics cards can peak a system over 1000watts 550 seems a little underpowered these days.

550 is still good for a number of systems.
