Hello guys, So my Corsair PSU VX 550 has started giving problems and it has passed its warranty of 5 years. The fan is making a lot of noise starting and shutting down and the pc when switched on, the psu keeps switching on and off untill eventually working. I am worried that this PSU will eventually damage by pc. So i am looking for a new RELIABLE PSU in the market. Budget is about 6000. I need a power supply equivalent or greater in efficiency and capacity compared to my current one.Could you please recommend some good psu?I also plan on upgrading my pc in future with maybe a new GPU soon. Also another point to note is that Please do not recommend any Corsair PSU's. They are simply terrible. Thanks.

Thanks for the response. How are the seasonic psu's.Is it more reliable than corsair in terms of service and warranty. Also between the two suggested models, one is a gold and other bronze.Is it worth paying the premium for Gold. If assuming that i get a mid ranged graphics card in future(say about 10k) or so, will this psu be able to handle that extra load?

S12G 550 will handle any single GPU system including 980 Ti. Seasonic PSUs will generally last its warranty period. S12II and M12II are based on an older circuit design and aren't 'certified'(but will work) for Haswell.

CoolerMaster G550M 550 Watt

The GM Series is semi-modular to reduce the number of unnecessary cables for better cable management. The single +12V rail on all GM Series power supplies allows for superior load balancing and GPU compatibility.

Bumping my old thread for psu since I need one urgently.
I am going for a gtx 950 gpu. Would the above recommendations for psu still hold?

As mentioned by chimera it will still hold unless you go for 980SLI.

The size of your power supply only has to do with how much of a pc it can run and very little to do with how much of a UPS you need.
