You are crazy. You picked the PSU that will burn your system. Get 650W PSU from EVGA G2/GS series.

Are you content with your 30 seconds of fame? Also Why the F is there a CX power supply in there? Do your research! CX = Office use only , no gaming!  GO for a HXi but then that would be out of your budget and therefore your post would be invalid.

Yeah I will. because it is SATAN. I own one and am replacing it tomorrow.

a ssd is not really needed tbh. Most people only need a hd

Stop spreading misinformation. CX was a good option a few years ago, but now there are better PSUs that cost the same and have better build quality. This doesn't mean that the CX series is now in one category with 15$ Ebay PSUs

So being blown up for having a house on fire means that they're still safe for gaming? I don't think so.

[GloriousPain]

I think I'd go with a decent air cooler, and lower the HDD to 1TB or 1.5 TB then add an SSD

[Nexxus]

h440 is also a very specialized case for a specific purpose I wouldn't recommend one for most people with clear disclaimers on its limitations/fallbacks honestly. I say this as someone who owns one

[Nexxus]

Also no while its not needed there isnt much excuse for a system of this cost to not have one.

sorry. I forgot to note out something I'm pretty crap at picking a PSU. Can yah fill me in?

OCZ shows that on average you will save 6days a year waiting for your pc to boot up if you use an SSD. SSDs make everything better, they are better for most people than HDDs

That won't happen.

 

Everyone is exaggerating how bad the CX series is. It's not going to blow up and it's not going to instantly set fire to everything. People have heard it's bad, but don't really understand why, so they just say it's terrible and will kill everything. 

 

Yes, it is not suitable for high end rigs, as the power delivery is not stable enough and it can't handle temperatures over 30C. It is more likely to die than similarly priced alternatives, but it is not likely to blow anything up. The amount of hate and misunderstanding on the CX series is getting out of hand on the forum, as well as the people blindly recommending EVGA for powersupplies, just because they have some good ones in their line up of branded units with varying quality.

well on my PC my is boots up in a few seconds and I have a caviar blue

No excuse for a $1200 build to not have an SSD of SOME capacity even if only to install the OS on.

[AlTech]

The brands to look for are Antec and Seasonic. Or Corsair HXi or Ax series.

I promise you its significantly slower then my boot time.

I don't recommend anything from EVGA. Unless you hate yourself or your wallet.

Antec has some poor units in there, so I wouldn't really recommend them as a whole. Seasonic, Delta and Superflower are the three that I recommend as they are the manufacturers of their units and don't make any bad ones. XFX as well, but they're just Seasonic units anyway.
