Hey, not sure what to use for my new build this is the pcpartpicker link but I'll prob add a bunch of peripherals such as my screen drawing tablet, mic, etc. and am thinking about vega 56 for the GPU. Is the 750W here good enough quality wise and do you guys know of any better deals than it? I know it's ranked as B tier on the PSU list but psu's have always confused me.

Thanks for any help.

WIP Build (Maul):

| CPU: R5 3600 | AIO: Stock GPU: Undecided (Vega 56 prob) MB: B450M RAM: 32gb 16x2 DDR4 3000mhz | PSU: Undecided HDD 1TB m.2 SSD | Case: Inwin 301 | $800-1000 PCPartpicker

 

Old Build (Vader):

Spoiler

 

| CPU: FX 8350 | AIO: h100i GPU: G1 GTX 970 MB: 990FXA-UD3 RAM: 8gb Vengence LP 1600mhz | PSU: EVGA 500B HDD 1TB x2 & 120GB Kingson SSD | Case: NZXT Noctis 450 |

Idle: 11-17c, Browsing: 13 - 23c, Load: 22 - 39c | Fedora & Arch Linux | $1,053 PCPartpicker

Get a PSU from the tier A list. No need for 750Watss anyway. Anything above 450 on a high quality PSU is much better.
Could also save out on RAM, as there are very very few situations that 32GB is beneficial. 16GB should be enough.
Then you could get a better motherboard as well. Or even more cores.

Just remember the PSU is the single most important part of the build.

When i ask for more specs, don't expect me to know the answer!

As shown in the link I already own the ram, cpu, motherboard, case, fans, etc. Just not the psu, m.2 or gpu. I know 750Watts is too much in most cases, but I also know you recommending a 450w for vega56 is not going to end well.

Ah yeah the Vega is pretty much power hungry... 
But i would go trough the Top tier list first and get the one you can afford.
Even with Vega a good 650Watt would be more then enough, also for future upgrading.
