Gaming pc final check before I buy parts

Go to solution Solved by Xmatix02,

On part picker when I switch to the rm650x it comes up with this message (

  • Note:The Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (WI-FI) ATX AM4 Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the Corsair RMx (2018) 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply does not. This connector is used to supply additional 12V current to the motherboard. While the system will likely still run without it, higher current demands such as extreme overclocking or large video card current draws may require it.) but for the Rm750x it dose not I believe this is a problem that I’ll have to figure out although the 4 pin is not necessary. 
     
  • Edit I do not know why it says the 650 is missing a 4 pin when both have them 

I’m currently looking into building a gaming pc and moving on from console and I could use some last minute feedback before I start buying parts! 
 

My budget is 1550 cad or around 1100 usd. I only need the computer, This dose not need to include shipping and anything else such as keyboards or mouses.

I do not need windows 10 included in the budget. The two cpu coolers marked as $0 on the part list are for future upgrade ideas and I’m going with the stock cooler to start of. 
 

1. I would also like recommendations on good 144hz 1440p gaming monitors for around 500 Canadian as I want to purchase one down the line. I’m currently looking at the msi mag27cq.

2. I already have the crucial MX500 as I got it on sale.

 

Here is my parts list anything marked as 0 means it is not included in the total price.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated and I will reply to all comments!

I would go with the MSI monitor, as it's a VA panel so will have better colour accuracy.

 

Don't see any other problems with the build. The 750W PSU may be a bit overkill.

Do you really feel more comfortable with 172% more capacity than needed?

Looks like a solid build. The monitor is an OK choice, but if you're not buying it now then don't bother asking about it. For that, I'd wait until Black Friday, and then see what goes on sale for a mad discount. Then pick that up. I'd consider more storage. 500GB disappears awfully quickly.

your board can't support SLI while crossfire is pretty much dead, so it's just a waste of money.

Well I just looked on newegg.ca and the rm650x Rm750x and rm850x are all on sale and have a $20 rebate so I guess I’ll just go with the 650 I was only thinking of the 750w psu for say a ryzen 9 and or 2080ti as I’ve seen 750 as a recommendation. But at the same time I have no idea what the midrange will look like by then.

Never mind I see 650 is fine for that combo to so thank all of you and I’ll just go with the rm650x and considering the ryzen 5 3600 and Radeon rx 5700 xt have little to no oc headroom it doesn’t matter for that either.

The general advice on the forum is that as a single rail PSU, the RMx series is a fantastic unit, but loses some reliability if you go any higher than 650W anyway.

The RM650X has one 4+4 pin EPS12V connector. It would be connected to the 8-pin EPS12V (ATX 12V) socket on the motherboard, leaving an open 4-pin ATX 12V socket. To provide power to that connector one would need a psu with two 4+4 pin EPS12V connectors.

You can ignore that message. You only need the 8 pin cpu connected.
