A power supply is maybe not going to be the first product you pick for your new gaming PC build project, but it could be one of the most important. It’s the heart of your PC – it feeds every component you have in your machine, and if your PSU goes down, it can take everything else with it.
From the CPU up to your precious graphics card, everything in your PC benefits from a decent PSU. The good units last for several system builds, even. So, if you make a good investment, you won’t have to spend extra money the next time you perform an upgrade. The way new processors and graphics cards are chewing through more power with each generation, that’s a legitimate concern. This means that you should plan to buy a reliable PSU with enough connectors to cover any possible upgrades.

CORSAIR £115
The best power supply for an RTX 3080
The time has come for Corsair to make some changes to its popular RMx line of power supplies since the competition has gotten far tougher in this segment of the market. Indeed the task’s not easy since the existing RMx units only counted three years in production and delivered excellent performance. In most cases, when you try to improve something already good, many things can wrong, but thankfully this wasn’t the case for the new Corsair RMx range.
