Thanks dude. Yeah I looked more into PSU's after and realised I should have gone with 80+ gold 😞 What is the performance that I lose going with white, do you know? I was really on my budget limits lol I could of got a cheaper board, but I want to overclock and a bit of future proof. Also aesthetically it went with my case really well.

Just lower efficiency aka higher power bills

 

It should affect your performance tho
