Will this rigs work together?

[Koka458]

Hi, every member of LinusTechTips. I am new in this forum.

 

I am planning to buy some gaming rigs and want to know if they are powerful enough to play Watch_Dogs. Or they will be a bottleneck or not.

 

They are mostly upgrades for my old PC. The things I will upgrade are Graphic Card, Motherboard, Power Supply Unit, Processor.

 

Motherboard - Gigabyte-GA-78LMT-USB 3.

Graphic Card - NVidia GeForce GTX 760 2 GB.

Processor - AMD FX-6300 Black Edition CPU.

Power Supply Unit - Cooler Master Thunder 600 Watt.

 

Tell me if this rig is good for me or not..please...

I have a Mini-ATX Case and I have measured all the compatibility.

I have not bought them yet....And I have a budget of $ 600.

yup they look alright but I need to see the rest of the build coz I don't think you will need 600 watts D:

He wont but 600w is sort of a safe spot.. I dont need 600w.. I think mine comes up to almost 500w..

I would pick a 500w power supply intead of the 600w, but apart from that, it's a solid build. I guess you already have ram for your build?

Everything seems ok, mATX stands for Micro ATX, Mini ATX is another different size, that I haven't seen in quite a while.

You will want to update your motherboard's firmware once you get it.

Thanks for the quickest reply.

So you all guys think PSU is little powerful!

But I have seen a awesome guy in Youtube named Carey Holzman. He has build his rig for someone with GTX 760 and 650 Watt PSU.

Nvidia says GTX 760's minimum requirement is 500 Watt. But some trolls told me that I should not go with minimum, go beyond it.

And Linus has already told us if we overclock it, it will require a lot more power...!

Do I still need only 500 Watt PSU?

Hi ForsakenLive.

The motherboard is Micro-ATX and my case it Mini-ATX. And I am currently using Micro-ATX motherboard.

If your overclocking I would a 550 watt PSU.

Oh also welcome to the forum!

I'd just stick with the 600w psu.  A year or 2 from now you might decide you want a beefier system but you have this little 500w psu someone talked you in to because at the time that's all you needed lol.  But just to clarify, do you have an mini itx case or mATX case?

You don't need to pick a 500w psu, the 600w will be just fine. All I'm saying is that "I" would pick a 500w or 550w psu for this build.

But I don't really know about the quality of the CM Thunder line of psu's. I would pick something better, like a Seasonic, XFX or Corsair.

Ummm i guess a 760 will be able to play watch dogs decently

but who knows?  

[Koka458]

So you guys think that CoolerMaster PSU is a problem.

So I did some research and found a Corsair VS650 650 Watt PSU and I chose it because it is cheaper than cooler master, they say it is for gaming. Shall I go with is PSU?
