m-itx build 250d

[XrayCy]

so i got this build (http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/KWB423) (already have the case) and my questions is

Should i go for the Antec  650 gold psu which is not  modular or the cxm 600 bronze which is semi-modular 

Should i go for the  Gigabyte Z97N-WIFI which has the main connectors to the side or there is enough space in the 250d for the H60 and the connectors with the MSI Z97I AC 

I believe 600w is enough for my build if you disagree plz suggest something else

I would go with a modular PSU for sure, got the case myself and I can't really imagine without a modular PSU. For the MOBO, there is alot of space so MSI should work.

Whenever you can, go modular. It makes life so much easier.

Let's be real: for 10£ extra, you can step up to a 970, and have an easier time with heat and PSu requirements.

 

As a note, I added a 650w Gold Fully modular PSU.

 

And, the best CPU cooler in existence. Don't worry, it'll fit inside your case just fine.

 

Do you need storage?

1 - Should have said.

2 - Well... to go with a 500w psu, you'll have to give up on 80+gold or modularity. Because the cheapest +gold modular PSU is that 650w one.

3 - If you were going to buy only form amazon, why did you list other stores in your build?

 

Okay.... I'll help you.

To be honnest 80+ isn't that important, it's more depending on how expensive electricity is where you live.
