First PC build

[James Hough]

Hi guys, 

 

I am building my first gaming PC and have everything picked out but the PSU.

 

Any recommendations?

Corsair cx 450 / 550 (grey label)  will be fine for system if you want to go top tier the seasonic 550 Focus gx is also a great choice (difference in the USA between these two is 28 bucks which I think in that case I’d rather pick seasonic but all up to your budget)

Thanks for the replies, I have 2 to choose from one is semi modular but the other is not? The semi modular one is cheaper?

CX is the better PSU but the CXM has better cable management. 
 

Which do you prioritize more?

Thanks,

The cx is better, if you can stuff all the extra cables behind the case then I would say get that one, Shame your case doesn’t have a psu shroud would make it a no brainer. Br is worse then both of those as far as I know.
