Hello i am a teenager looking to take a step up in pc gaming from my Mac. I have done quite a bit of research and i still am. While also spending countless hours on youtube researching everything i need to know and whats good for me i also decided to get some feedback from people who are much more experienced than me. I've come up with a build around the 1k price range which is the area i am comfortable with spending. All feedback will be greatly appreciated thanks again!

you don't need more wattage

I just said 650 cause it doesn't come in 600w

a 500-550 would be fine

seasonic has a 520 and 620w

The one you have currently is extremely overpriced.

the advantage is pretty much ALL (not all, but you mgiht as well say the majority) of companies who get thier PSU units, get them from season and modify/rebrand them. 

 

also IME(in my experience, not sure if thats a common one. ) i've only seen seasonic PSU's be slightly cheaper. 

 

 

also just a preference. if you really want the corsair PSU. get it. its not biggie. 

 

 

 

just stay the hell away from anything below 80+ bronze. 

*shudders* last psu i got that wasnt 80+ certified, caught fire to my room. 

one of 6 reasons we moved from that hosue to here. xP didnt feel like fixing it scicne we didnt have the money.
