Looking for PSU and RAM on a budget.

[Luke]

All i need to finish my build is a power supply and ram but i have only $85 at the moment and i really don't want to cheap out on these last two things,

I only use a HD 7750 card and my overall PC power consumption will be low so i've been looking at corsair CX430 it seems like a high quality PSU but i can't find them as cheap as i seen them before. (I've seen them for around $35) and it's the same deal with the ram i've seen 8gb kits for like $36 but every where i look they are like $45.

Any help is appreciated.

Just save up a bit more?

Just save up a bit more?

OP should've planned the build more accordingly...

But seriously, the 7750 can run on a 300W PSU, so try getting the Seasonic 300W PSUs. Just buy a single 4GB stick and upgrade to 8GB later.

I should have planned the build more accordingly to what? Prices changing? I said i have $85 at the "moment". I will probably make more money though i could buy a 2X4GB Crucial Ballistix and Corsair CX430 for $80 which is more than good enough so apparently i have planned my build just fine.

I swear I responded this topic already, damn these buggy forums.

You can get a 430 CX v2 from Newegg for 25 after rebate. I have always gotten my Corsair rebates, you shouldn't worry to much.

As for the RAM you can get some Mushkin ram on NCIX for 35.

Never cheap out on a PSU. Could cause major damage in the long run. Stick to brands you know and trust.

the cx 430(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139026&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=) is good. one of my friends use that and never had a problem with it .430 watts will suffice and get atleast 1600mhz ram.

That is a 2X2GB kit. The 2X4GB kit is $45 on ncix.ca and the CX430 is $37 after mail in rebate. So ordering those from Canada will cost $22 more for me =\

[Luke]

Sigh...Wait for deals and save like $25 or just buy stuff now for full price. Oh the decisions.
