Corsair CX650 (2023)

I'd pick. For £60 it's good and will serve well for a pupil and their low end machine. People could argue bronze hurr durr not as efficient but most kids will waste more money by forgetting to turn off their PC than the pennies you'd save a year by going with a better rated PSU. For £8 more 750W is also valid, easier to upgrade down the line to lets say a hungrier GPU. 

 

Maybe pick 750W version. Still the cheaperst.

Budget (including currency): ~£800

Country: UK

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming and light school work

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Already have case but a decently major upgrade so most parts arent usable in new build with the exception of SSD which will be transferred over but another SSD is wanted as current one is full

You can do a fair bit of cost cutting. Replaced SSD but even cheaper ones exist like ADATA that should still be somewhat good enough. Might recommend adding a cheapo AK400 cooler. Sure some £20 extra but it'll at least be quiet. For many people, when they hear nothing = premium.

Not sure if either of you are from the UK but have you had any experience with the above mentioned sites?

 

Could go for a cheap cooler but my cousin (the buyer) is still in school and doesnt have an income so he'll be sticking as close to £800 as possible, but im willing to supplement some of it myself for him if he cant afford (im also saving for a holiday and a ring so the less spent by me the better)

 

The reason i chose the WD SSD is because its from amazon and ive never used clove tech, i originally had the P3 Plus in the build but SN580 was only 3 quid extra EDIT: P3 PLUS has £4.80 shipping from clove, so SN580 will actually be cheaper

 

If choosing between PK750D @ £63 or P750GM @£81 what would be the preference EDIT: Both these PSUs have no couriers that deliver to NI

 

And the mobo is £1 extra from amazon so that should be fine to stick with EDIT: Orbit is fine shipping wise and is free so ill order ADATA RAM and mobo from there as itll save a few quid

 

To add, usually sites like orbit, scan, neo computers etc are cheap shipping to mainland UK but paid shipping to Northern Ireland (where i live) so it might actually be cheaper if its more expensive but from somewhere that offers free shipping, not sure if these sites offer free shipping or not but its something ill check out

We've got good consumer protection here. Buy from sites you don't trust with a credit card, the slightest trouble when they don't deliver you can always claim back money cause well, it's not yours. 

 

NI shipping will be a struggle. Heard some people say it's cheaper to ship from Ireland or EU than from GB. 

 

I'm not a fan of you choosing the £105 Corsair PSU. At least go with a cheaper option from one of your sellers (I just realised choosing shops doesn't come across on links).

No, not a fan of the Corsair PSUs price with the build, tis more of just a placeholder for now, how is the corsair CX (2023) range? I know the CX range isnt too bad but is the 2023 revision an improvement?

Gigabyte-UD750GM

Corsair RM650

CX750 from orbit is £65 so cheaper again, can go for that alongside mobo and RAM

7500F is only a sensible option if you're in the US. Everywhere else they don't exist so have to ship from China and then the shipping costs outweigh the savings, often being more expensive than a 7600X and needing to wait a month or two whilst the latter will run better, can be a one day delivery and will very likely cost less in the end (don't forget import tax).

 

Realistic 7500F price is like £200+~ including shipping and import. Just not worth it.
