Corsair CX750 (2017)

Eric10543

I am in need of a new power supply and I saw this PSU on Newegg. It is exactly what I need: 750W, at least 80+, doesn't have to be modular, below 120$. My current power supply, the EVGA 100-N1-0650-L1 is not desirable and I was fooled by thinking that its 650W advertised power is not enough. I am not proficient enough in PSUs to check whether the CX750 (2017) is ok for my system.

 

My Specs:

Amd Ryzen 5 3600, Asus TUF GAMING X570-Plus Wifi, 16gb Team T-Force Delta RGB @ 3200 mhz CL 18, XFX Radeon RX 5700 XT THICC III Ultra, 1x Intel 660p 512gb NVMe SSD, 1x 2tb Seagate Barracuda Compute.

 

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

You'd be spending too much for a Bronze rated, non-modular PSU. The CX is good but it's usually picked when the budget doesn't allow for a nicer option.

I would get a TX550M or RM550x instead, you don't need 750W for your system, unless you're planning on going Crossfire (which you shouldn't).

the cx is decent. but you wond need more than 450w psu. a decent 550w psu will do (like corsair txm 550w)

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

Thank you for the recommendation! I think I'll go with the TXm when it comes in stock. It is a lot better for not much more money. Again, thank you!
