Thoughts on new build

[another_member]

Hi all,

 

I am planning to build a pc soon, however I have decided to buy a cheap(er) GPU which can game well for now, and upgrade to more expensive one at a later time. I have tried to make it rather future proof. I already own a 4TB HDD so thats not on the list. What do you think?

to make it more "future-proof" you may want to upgrade that power supply to one thats fully modular

That statement literally makes zero sense.

Only major difference between the likes of the CXM and RMx is that the 24 pin and 8 pin are hardwired on the CXM. You get 5 SATA connectors vs 6 on the RMx. Hardly a deal breaker. If you need extra SATA then you can buy extensions.

Assuming that the standard changes in our lifetime: by the time the "future" requires a connector that ISN'T a 24-pin motherboard cable the semi vs fully modular thing won't matter.  It's not like Corsair will give you a new modular cable to plug into a PSU from today's market and magically make it work on the super-new 50-pin motherboard of the "future".

 

If you were referring to extra sata power cables those are a given on both semi and fully modular units, so that has no bearing here either.

I would suggest either going slightly more money (like 5 euros) for the RX 590 which is a faster card, or if this is truly a very short term card, could drop the cost to around 150 euros with an RX 570 (8GB vram still) and get a better value fps/cost ratio.
