520 platinum fanless

also have you considered r9 390 for the same price and are you aware that new gen is due next month?

[Enderman]

a 500 would be more than enough for that

maybe get something around 600 or 700 so that you can upgrade in the future to more powerful stuff

"better" is pretty subjective

Although, I wouldn't be surprised if either card would work fine for him.

it's pretty much hard on better very objectively - more fps per watt, more fps per dollar

I'd say use cases should be taken into account here. FPS isn't exactly everything, especially if he does shit like Photoshop on the side.

But as I said, more than likely the 390 would be a better choice for OP.

I'd strongly recommend that, if this PC is for gaming and not streaming or video editing, you get an i5 6600k and an R9 390. An i7 won't have an appreciable impact on the performance of games.

 

Nonetheless, an EVGA 650GQ would be perfect regardless of the GPU/CPU you choose.

yes, I will use it in gaming.

really? it has no impact for purchasing i7?

if i get i5, how many watt should i purchase? I dont like EVGA, seasonic is better I think.

thank you for your information.

No impact if you get an i7 in any modern titles.

 

EVGA has plenty of good units, what don't you like about them? Their support team is outstanding and they have plenty of solid PSUs like the B2/GS/GQ/G2/P2, etc.

 

An i5 doesn't use drastically less power so you can get the same PSU for either CPU.
