Which PSU to choose ?
For the cost I’d consider the Corsair RMX 1000W. About the same price and includes a 10-year warranty. NZXT hasn’t provided me with excellent feedback on their return policy, and EVGA appears to be reducing its offerings significantly, making it unclear if they’ll remain available to meet warranty commitments.
my components are quite outdated. i5 6600k with h110 board (z170/z270 was my first choice but they stopped making it, now secondhand options are too expensive).
ram is 16gb.
previously had a 960 2gb gcard now i'm using 1050ti (though i thought about getting the gtx 1660s but it didn't seem worth it).
two ssd drives, one 256gb and one 1tb hdd, both spinning at 7200rpm.
the chassis isn't branded but it has good airflow. there are two fans at the front, one at the back, and two more near the hdd/ssd bay.
In our country, evga costs 9000 inr which is about 108.12 usd.
Nzxt costs 10000 inr roughly 120.14 usd.
Corsair RMX 1000W is priced at 18550 inr, around 222.85 usd.
I like the Corsair but my budget isn’t that flexible.
Corsair is well known and their capacitors are good, but I had a bad experience. My CX 600 capacitor exploded while using it with a gtx960 and i5 6600k.
So I switched to another model, the cv650 version (orange one, also called old psu).
It also failed after about one and a half years.
