Hello everyone, thank you for checking out my build.

I'm on a university budget, but still wanted to play, so I went out and built a computer entirely from used hardware, for suprisingly small amount of money.

 

CPU: AMD FX-8350, ( overclocked it to 4,8Ghz) - $20

CPU Cooler: Enermax Lepa aquachanger 240M - $35

Motherboard: Gigabyte 990XA UD-3 Rev 3.0 - $25

RAM: Samsung 1600Mhz 8Gb kit - $20

GPU: Gigabyte RX470 G1 gaming ( overclocked to 1275Mhz + 1800Mhz memory ) - $80

PSU: EVGA 80+ 600w - $35

Case: Cooler Master Masterbox MB520 RGB - $40

I used my old 250Gb SSD and 512Gb HDD

 

So the total build cost me $255, and even had $45 left for a mouse.

Really solid deals all around, the only part that gives me pause is

EVGA 80+ 600w

A used power supply is questionable enough, one this low end would certainly not make me comfortable if it were my rig 

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 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

How many watts do I need?
