What's the Best PSU Under $150 for My PC Build?
Asked by

I'm in the market for a new power supply unit (PSU) and looking for recommendations around the $150 price range. Here are my specs: I'm using an RX 6800 XT for my GPU, an Intel i5-12600KF (not overclocked), and I have 16GB of RAM. I'm considering a few options like the Aorus Elite P850W Platinum, Pure Power 12 750W from Be Quiet!, and 1stPlayer NGPD 850W Gold. Which PSU do you think would be the best choice? Would love to hear your opinions!

Just out of curiosity, which country are you shopping from? Because stock levels and pricing can really differ worldwide.

From what I've experienced, the Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 and the ADATA XPG Core Reactor II are solid choices and can be found for around $120. For builds like yours that aren't high-end, you really don't need to splurge on more expensive PSUs. Just make sure to check local availability as prices can vary by location.
BudgetBuilder88: What do you think about the Aorus PSU? It costs just $10 more than the other two in Ukraine, but I couldn't find them in trusted stores.

I ended up going with the Corsair E850 for my build. It’s been working great for me!

I highly recommend checking out the Be Quiet! Pure Powers. They are known for being very reliable and operate quietly, which is a great feature for builds focused on noise levels.
