Not that cheap ?

How about these, coolermaster mwe 550 bronze, cx 550 bronze, saw these on PSU Tier 2 (Budget) what should i go for???

CX450 or CX550 looks good.

This is my first PC build, I'm stuck at the power Supply, getting all reviews people telling not to buy cheap power supply, some are saying ok with it.

I'm Planning to get a corsair vs 450W

I need a help in selecting PSU

 

Build -

Ryzen 7 1700

Asus ROG strix Rx 570 oc 4gb

Asus b450m - a

G skill ripjaws 8gb 3000mhz x 2

WD 2tb 7200 rpm

Case - corsair carbide spec 04

Lg "22 inch ips monitor with free sync

 

GPU is already oc but i'm not very fond of gaming,

Will be overclocking cpu 3.5 - 3.7ghz

This is my first build so i'm not sure if motherboard is okay with oc GPU.

Need Help.......!

450W should be fine.

Care to elaborate? 

 

For what he's building?  VS is fine. 

It's Polaris and a Ryzen 8 core, though. The cost difference up to a System Power 9 400W or CX450 shouldn't be that big.

Which Parts can you tell me???

If there is a cheaper RX 570 available, get that instead. The motherboard has no VRM heatsinks, which can be sketchy. Check the Asrock Pro4, or most B350/450 boards that at least have a heatsink on the VRM. If you're mostly gaming, check out the Ryzen 6 cores.

Get an 8GiB RX570 for example.


The PSU @seon123 has said something about that. It should be a bit better than the VS. Its not worth saving 5 bucks on the PSU, get something in the middle...

For example be quiet Pure Power 10 or 11 400W or up, Bitfenix Formula.

Asrock Pro 4 has much price difference here in India, i found MSI b450 gaming plus these come with more additional features.

What do you think??

These worth it?

yes, that MSI board (as well as bazooka, mortar, tomahawk) well worth it! (or even asrock steel legend)

 

From GPU, I'd rather pick something from sapphire line, preferentially sapphire radeon rx570 nitro+, though the cheaper Pulse is another fine pick as well.

 

Do you have option for cx450 psu? or even BeQuiet! system power? these are the cheapest, but reasonable quality units avaialable

Life is really challenging. I don't always suceed: )

Cx450 are quite expensive here, be quiet arent available here easily.

Recommend a budget PSU, I can sacrifice Overclocking

What you say about Masterwatt 550 bronze???

 

 That is not a bad unit btw, quite reasonable. But expensive, AFAIK.

 

Do you buy it cheap? BC in that case, it can be a good choice

Why do you want to limit yourself to such cheap stuff?!
 

The Bitfenix Formula, be quiet Pure Power 1x/400W and up are much better.

Or other entry level GOld units.
