My trustworthy Antec Earthwatts EA-500D is going for good after so many years... sometimes the PC doesn't turn off, fans don't even start. Only by detaching almost all peripherals it starts.
But I think it's just the beginning...

So, I'm looking for a good replacement, preferred going from current 500W to 750W.
I'm looking at Be-Quiet stuff, especially modular.

My current system has i7-7700k CPU on ASUS TUF z270 mkII M/B with 32 GB DDR4, Nvidia GTX 5060 video card, and a fair amount of HDs and NVMEs; as soon as Ram-ageddon stops I'mggoint to migrate to newer system, probably AMD based (keeping the video card though).

Any suggestions, Be-Quiet or not? Of course the new PS should be quite silent :)

Thanks,
Mario

You can grab a RM1000e from corsair refurbed for $80 its a 1000 watt psu and quiet. Then you will be set for your next build. I would totally trust a refurb from Corsair and its a great deal.
