Will my 450W PSU be enough for a RX 5700 XT?
Rackso replied to Rackso's topic in New Builds and Planning
I was able to find a CX 650W this one comes with 2x 6+2 pin connectors -

So I finally went for a CX 650. I was able to find one new on that store. Ty for all the help. -
Will my 450W PSU be enough for a RX 5700 XT?
Rackso replied to Rackso's topic in New Builds and Planning
So you recommend me staying with the 450 w? I thought upgrading to the 700 w BR , while worse quality, will still be more future proof in case I would like to change some parts along the way. Also, is using a mollex to conver a single 8 pin connector to 2 x 8+ 2 pin connectors a bad idea? are they going to work fine like if they were 2 independent pin connectors? -

Rackso replied to Rackso's topic in New Builds and Planning
Do you think the 450W will be able to supply that wattage? I have heard that no PSU provides what it says it does, so the 450w is going to be providing around 430W for example.. it is a Bronze + so it should have a 85% effiency margin. -

There is no better 550w where I live, just more EVGA BR PSU and a CX 650 but it is out of stock -

Rackso replied to Rackso's topic in New Builds and Planning
I do have a mollex! But was going to change it because someone told me above that I should go for the 700w BR instead. If you guys think the 450 W will handle the RX 5700 XT then I will stick with it. Now I am confused with all the information around here hehe.. -

The EVGA 700BR 80 + Bronze is the only "best" and bigger PSU I can afford. Will it be enough? -

Rackso replied to Rackso's topic in New Builds and Planning
And it helps if I have the extra cables at home to tranform a single 6 +2 pin connector to 2 x 6+2 pin connectors? But focusing on power consumption, will that 450 be enough? or should I change it for the 700 BR EVGA PSU? -

I have done my research and according to the calculators my rig will consume 410 Watts at best but I have read in other places that you need a 550-600w PSU for this specific model. That is why I am asking to the experts -
What a beautiful monster you are planning to build! My recommendations are the following: Try going for a cheaper Case. There are plenty of cases that look good and are way cheaper than that one. Recommend NZXT cases and Cooler Master. Do you really need a 1TB SSD? The SSD is very good for the OS but for gaming (in general) the performance can be achieved with a Firecuda Drive. I would purchase a 500 GB SSD for the OS and some other programs I would like to have there and purchase a 2TB Barracuda (or Fire cuda). The CPU cooler is no necessary. You can puchase it later in case you need but if you are not planning to Overclock your cpu, you dont need it. Also, this CPU at stock speeds will be more than enough to suit your needs. I recommend going for a RX 5600XT instead of a RTX 2060, it has better performance (with the new BIOS update) and is some $ cheaper than the RTX 2060. Do you really need 32 GB of RAM? 16 GB of RAM for gaming is more than enough and you will save a lot of money there. You can always leave those 2 free slots for later in case you need the extra 16 GB RAM. Everything else looks fine to me. Buying a good PSU is always a good idea for real future proof rigs.

Hello, people. So I just recently built the following PC: Ryzen 7 3700x (stock speeds and cooler) TUF Gaming B450M Plus Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8 DDR4 @3000Mhz 1 Kingston UV500 M.2 SSD 120GN 1- 2TB Barracuda HDD Corsair H110R Case (1 rear 120mm fan and 1 120mm fan on top) PSU: Corsair CX450 80+ Bronze I had an old R9 380 4GB Card at home so I am using that one for now but would like to upgrade to a RX 5700 XT (XFX THICC III Ultra) and I would like to know if this PSU is enough to handle that card at stock speeds? If not I can still go back to the store and change it for bigger one. My other option of PSU at that store is an EVGA 700 BR 80+ Bronze (I know it isn´t the best PSU out there but those are my options in my country if I want to stay on my budget. I could go for a Asus ROG PSU but those are damn expensive) EDIT: I have already used System builder and other sources to try to calculate the aproximate Watts consumption and it says that it would be 420 at best but I just want to make sure. Also, I have the extra cables at home to convert 1 x 6+2 pin connector to a 2x 6+2 pin connector if neccesary. EDIT 2: I was able to find a new CX 650 which comes with 2x 6+2 pin connector. Thanks for all the help and videos. Thank you in advance for the help and patience with this noobie.

Are these components recommended for my new build? (HELP)
Rackso replied to Rackso's topic in New Builds and Planning
Thank you very much. I will go for the 3700x just because I want a future proof computer. The new Gen of consoles will have 8 core custome zen 2 cpus, so I expect future games to take advantage of those extra cores. I'll go for the Tuf b450m since it is the cheapest and has been tested with a 3700x at stock speeds and works well (source). I cant get a better GPU if I go with the 3600x because the difference in price between those CPUs doent make up for the difference between a GTX 1660 Super and a RTX 2060 (Yes, I know this sucks). Also I wanted a SSD for the OS only, I can handle my games on a Barracuda and save a little from the Firecuda. In 5 years, if I need an upgrade, I will definitely go for the current gen of CPUs and GPUs on that moment, I dont like buying old gens unless they performed very similiar to the current gen.- 11 replies

Are these components recommended for my new build? (HELP)
Rackso replied to Rackso's topic in New Builds and Planning
It is a bit expensive but we are talking just $20 or do you recommend going for a 2.5 SSD Kingston SA400 instead 128gb instead of the Kingston UV500 M.2?- 11 replies

Are these components recommended for my new build? (HELP)
Rackso replied to Rackso's topic in New Builds and Planning
Thanks but unfotunately that MB can´t be found here, for a similar price I can purchase a Asus Prime B450M, also the RTX 2060 is stupidly expensive here I chose the GTX 1660 Super for being cheaper and providing good 1080p performance, I plan to upgrade it in 2 years so no big deal. Is worth giving up the Firecuda for the Barracuda? Do you recommend the 3700x over the 3600x or do you think the extra cores are not worth it for the next 5 years?- 11 replies

Rackso replied to Rackso's topic in New Builds and Planning
Thanks for the response. Those are the prices here in my country and I mentioned that purchasing the items Online will be almost the same for me because of shipping fees, etc. I will be buying 16 GB of RAM, sorry I just edited my post. Now, do you recommend the 3600x or the 3700x?- 11 replies

Hello, everyone. I am planning to build a computer, I dont live in the US, I am from Guatemala but I will put the prices in USD for your better understanding. Some key things to note before: Everything is more expensive in my country and even if I purchase the components on Amazon and pay interantional shipping for them, it will cost almost the same as if I bought them here, so there is no huge benefit from this (I already did the numbers). Knowing this, my budget is $1,400.00 (this would be the equivalent to $950 in the US). Some other aspects for why I want to buld my computer and what I am aiming for: Would like to game at 1080p with 100+fps I just want to game all recent and upcoming games smoothly I do not stream and will not stream. I don´t do video/photo/3d editing or anything related to heavy programming. My computer will be used mostly for gaming and media. I want to build a futureproof gaming pc (at least one that will last me 4-5 years) I am planning to purchase a high end Nvidia GPU in the future. The components I have in mind: CPU: Ryzen 3600x ($300) (If you guys think it is necessary I can upgrade to the 3700x ($425) but if there is no benefit in the long run lets avoid that extra cash.) MB: Asus TUF B450 PLUS ($146) or TUF B450m ($118)(These 2 are the cheapest ones I could find and that are kinda acceptable by the community) RAM: Corsair Vengeance 2x8 DDR4 LPX 3000Mhz ($120) (this is the fastest RAM available I could find in stores) PSU: Corsair CX650 80plus Bronze ($89) (this is the best one I could find without going to far for a "Gaming" branded PSU from Asus ROG wich is stupidly expensive) GPU: Nvida GTX 1660 SUPER ($319) (I plan to upgrade it in at least 3 years) Storage: 2tb FireCuda Drive ($126) (if you believe this is no necessary I can get a 2tb Barracuda for half the price) SSD: M.2 Green WD 128 GB ($33) (this will be used for the OS only) All of this will go inside a Corsair H110R Case ($65) My main questions: Are these components good enough for what I have in mind? Are these components going to work good together? Specially the MOBO with the CPU (take the 3700x into consideration here too) What other options do you recommend, so that I can look for them here and see if they are available and affordable. Overall if this is a good build Thank you in advance for your assistance and patience on this.
