How is the G1 650W a subpar PSU? It'll do everything we could ask for. The G2 750w is 39% more expensive, for 0% more performance. You are also adding unneeded wattage, that will actually decrease PSU efficiency until OP goes for SLI.

Performance of the PSU that matters to us gamers is NOT efficiency. That only matters for 24/7 server farms and bitcoin miners and the like. What matters to us is ripple supression, voltage stability, and power-on-spike prevention. The G1 is group regulated, meaning that the individual rails are not regulated individually, meaning it is really bad when crossloaded and other rails will suffer when, say for example, the 12v suddenly has more power draw on it. It's a sub-par unit that performs pretty poorly. Barely passable. Basically, even an EVGA 500 Bronze unit for $35 performs as good in the relevant tests, although obviously not as efficient (which doesn't matter for us gamers).

 

Yes it does everything it needs to do, but it's too expensive for what it is. I made this mistake too, so don't worry. The G1 and G2 are completely different units internally, even if they mostly share the same name.

No gpu... are you serious? Care to tell me what was the point of the thread again?

I think you might have mistyped when you wrote "it's for heavy gaming for games like Arma 3 Arma life mod h1z1 and so on".

And I ment it as in is this build good and is there any blue or white graphics cards that would go with that build.

Search for a place that sells this card.
