the corsair costs $69 (lol) AUD and the corsair costs $65 AUD

Slightly confusing typo here

 

I always put my faith in the CX series, tried and true.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Why would you get a CX450M over a CX450?

 

This isn't 2014, where mid range graphics cards, are full 250W behemoths; so that extra PCIe connector isn't important. And to add to that, the CX series is just better than the CX-M series (LLC resonant, opposed to double forward), and it's $10 cheaper.

Their PCPP list had a CX450, not a CX450M.

 

And why would you? That doesn't help them. You're giving the illusion of helping, which is worse than not replying, because you're passively agreeing, instead of giving suggestions.

 

And no, a 120GB SSD is a decent option, since 120GB SSDs are about half the price of a 240GB SSD. It works especially if they have an old PC they can pitch a HDD from, if they need more storage.
