I'm looking at this one from Seasonic:
https://www.newegg.ca/seasonic-focu...omepage_dailydeals-_-p1_17-151-201-_-10242020
It's more than double what I paid for my current 550W PSU (EVGA B3...paid $54 CAD for it new in 2018) which has been great and is so quiet I need to check sometimes to make sure it's still on (ECO mode I suspect). My son wants a new one so I was going to give him this one and get another.
His works just fine, but is loud (hand-me-down 600w OCZ from many moons ago). I also want to be ready if I get impulsive and buy a pricier video card than I actually need when the nonsense dies down.
The one linked was as high as $190 not too long ago, but even $129 seems really high. Are the prices of these creeping down overall to return to the low levels they were, or was 2018 a blip?
I just don't want to pay $129 and then find it for $75 in a few months. I checked the camel site, and it seems the lowest price a fully modular, similar PSU from Seasonic ever got to (SSR 750-FX) was about $90 USD ($120 CAD).
