Power requirements for modern gaming PCs are through the roof, compared to 10 years ago. With increasingly power-hungry graphics cards from either side of the water, it’s more and more essential to make sure your PC has adequate juice with which to power all your peripherals.
If you’re in the market for a PSU for your new gaming rig, or a low-budget home-cinema PC, here are Amazon’s top-5 best selling PC power supplies.
No. 1: Corsair CMPSU-650TX 650-Watt TX Series 80 Plus
No. 2: Corsair CMPSU-750TX 750-Watt TX Series 80 Plus
No. 3: Thermaltake W0070RUC TR2 Series 430W
No. 4: Corsair CMPSU-550VX 550-Watt VX Series 80 Plus
No. 5: Corsair CMPSU-850TX 850-Watt TX Series 80 Plus
Clearly Corsair have a dominant lead in Amazon sales, with Thermaltake wetting its beak. It’s surprising to see Cooler Master not in the top 5, but all are excellent PSU makers and choosing either would be a fine decision. Just make sure when purchasing a power supply that you have enough wattage to power all your hardware with some overhead for future upgrades.
