EVGA announce their new B3 line of affordable PSUs

 
Every PC needs a high-quality PSU, though sadly not all of us can afford high-end 80 Platinum series models. A lot of us build PCs on a tight budget, making affordable, yet reliable solutions a must.  
 
EVGA has announced their new B3 lineup of PSUs, with a design made by SuperFlower, fully modular cables and 80 Bronze levels of efficiency. This range of PSUs will come with capacities of 450W, 550W, 650W, 750W and 850W, making it suitable for a wide range of systems.   
 
The new B3 series of PSUs are designed to compete against Corsair’s CX lineup of PSUs, with the 450W B3 costing $40 with an approximate $10 increase in price for every extra 100W of power, with the 850W model retailing at $85.

(Even the $40 450W model will have modular cables)

 

This PSU will support an Eco mode which uses a passive fan profile when under low loads and a Hydro-Dynamic Bearing fan for an extended lifetime. EVGA will be backing up this unit for a total of five years, which is a lot of time for a budget oriented PSU.   

450W/550W/650W B3 series PSUs will have a depth of 150mm, with the higher end 750W and 850W models featuring a longer 160mm depth.  

The only downside of this unit will be that not even the highest end 850W model will feature dual 8-pin CPU/EPS connections, making this series unsuited for use with high-end motherboards, though those using enthusiast grade components should always consider an enthusiast-grade PSU.
