What kind of games do you plan on playing?

I would not get that PSU.

 

[Marx108]

I plan on playing a wide array of games, to more demanding cross-platform titles, to less demanding MOBAs, top-down strategy games, etc; on medium to high settings. What power supply would you recommend?

 

[PP Mguire]

Lol that doesn't really answer my question, per se. Some titles to give me a more accurate judgement of CPU usage.

Minimum Corsair CX500 or Seasonic S1211 520w. That eVGA 500 seems appealing, but as I just mentioned in the bought thread in OT, that isn't the same as the 500B which got positive ratings from Johnny Guru. It's a much cheaper unit comparable to that of Raidmax units or Apevia.

Thanks a ton for the advice, PP Mguire! But other than the PSU, is everything else in the build good to go?

 

[PP Mguire]

Yea sure.
