Replacement PSU

[Polemus]

Hi There,

My PSU decided to stop working today. I have a fairly old system and I need to replace the PSU

Current Specs:

MOBO: MSI Z87M
GPU: GTX970
CPU: 7900K
1 x 250GB SSD
1 x 1TB HDD
PSU: Corsair AX860
RAM: 8GB Corsair

My idea is to replace entire pc in June, but until then I need something cheap that will keep me going until then.

Any suggestions on a PSU that will fit my current system?

I do not know much about PSUs and connectors, I just know that previously I bought one for my daughter with incorrect connectors, so I need one that will fit the above hardware.

Check if your PSU has warranty left, might be lucky with the 7 year warranty.

Else post a wanted advert for a cheap 650-750w PSU.

Or buy one of these from Wootware :
SuperFlower 650w (R1449) : Super Flower SF-650F14MT(BK) Leadex 650W 80 Plus Silver Certified Fully Modular Black Desktop Power Supply - Wootware


Also, what CPU do you have ? I can't find a 7900K, but there's the 7900X and 9700K ?

imho

1. buy a good psu to cater for your future build.
2. buy a very cheap psu and hope it does not cause issues. matrix has some wicked specials today.

There is junk on takealot for R499 (free shipping)

Like a complete douche, I saw something loose in it, opened it up and it was a Christmas beetle.

only after I closed it again did I think about the warranty ... which is 7 years on that model, and I was in the warranty period

Thanx for the suggestion on the wootware one. I'll start making a list of suggested PSU's
