Your budget is unknown, and I don't have information about your country.
choose a setup with a power supply of at least 600 to 650 watts, but aim for 750W for flexibility later. A solid mid-range choice is the Seasonic B12 BC series—they’re not top-tier but work well for now. If you’re on a tighter budget or in a specific country, I can suggest the most affordable options available there.
Getting these things is a bit tricky right now. Maybe I should check DeepCool PK700D? They seem decent enough.
It's a significant improvement over what you currently have (assuming the deepcool PK750D, since I don't see a PK700D there). Let's see if we can find something in the B tier of the PSU list.
Undoubtedly for a lower-end GPU or office setup a weak PSU would suffice. However, with a 1080Ti you're really testing its limits. Avoid cheap new units—their warranties are short and most last only 10-15 years. Used models often offer better value, durability, and future-proofing thanks to higher wattage and quality. For around $50 you'd get a decent 600W bronze PSU, whereas a premium 750-850W gold model like the RX series would last longer. Sometimes people discard older 1000W+ units for cheaper options. In India there are some amazing deals, like a 700W ReX III for $16 or a 1200W Yason PX for $50, easily available online. This makes high-end PSUs less necessary since you can get solid performance for a fraction of the cost. If local shops don’t have what you need, online marketplaces often have great options too.
In this scenario, a budget PSU from the lower end will provide links for purchasing options. Warranty might be disregarded since they’re typically short-lived (<10 years) and won’t matter much. You’ll focus on finding the most affordable unit with the best 12V rail rating, like choosing a "700W" with 54A and a 648W rail versus a cheaper model with a 58A and 696W rail. This approach mirrors buying older, used PSUs where the closer the rail rating to the PSU’s capacity indicates better quality. Aim for a balance between cost and performance by selecting options that match your needs while staying within budget.
