Posted April 21, 2015 Hi, I'm currently looking to buy a PSU and I know I need around 260w, although the price range I'm looking at, the best rated one is the Antec EarthWatts Green. PSU's are a serious deal, therefore I don't really want to skimp on performance, I may be OC'ing as well so having a bit more juice should be fine. Does anyone have any recommendations for me? Tips? Anybody got/had Antec EarthWatts Green and want to give me some info? Thanks for all of your help, Chris P.S I have a list created on PCPartPicker so here's the permalink if you want to view the setup I'm looking at buying: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/C2sBdC I was going to put this-but I DONT NEED any advice on my build. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also 4gb of ram isn't really going to cut it these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted April 21, 2015 Wow what is that build for?! Holy shit i can't think of anything tbh. as already said, get a decent 450-500w psu instead.

Posted April 21, 2015 I have the Earth-watts 520W and it is great. I'd recommend the brand, but at least the 420W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted April 21, 2015 Author I don't know the purpose of your build but if it's gaming I would get a i5 and a way better gpu and atleast a 450w psu. Also 4gb of ram isn't really going to cut it these days. Its for rendering. If it was for gaming trust me-I would have followed your advice. As for the ram, yeah I know, I *am* going to upgrade it later, but at the moment, I am spending *the* most possible. I plan to have 32gb eventually.

I don't want to be inefficient, I only need 251, do you really think I need a 450w psu? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan to have 32gb eventually. so why do you blow 45 useless pounds on that gt730? Use integrated instead and get 8gb right of the start. Also get the 212evo instead of the 103 and skip the thermal paste because iirc the 212 comes with some. That'd basically be +/- nothing and would give you better thermals. Edit: oh and i would personally go for an corsair psu instead. this is one not only modular but also has more wattage and is cheaper. http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-power-supply-cx430m Gaming HTPC: R5 5600X - Cryorig C7 - Asus ROG B350-i - EVGA RTX2060KO - 16gb G.Skill Ripjaws V 3333mhz - Corsair SF450 - 500gb 960 EVO - LianLi TU100B Desktop PC: R9 3900X - Peerless Assassin 120 SE - Asus Prime X570 Pro - Powercolor 7900XT - 32gb LPX 3200mhz - Corsair SF750 Platinum - 1TB WD SN850X - CoolerMaster NR200 White - Gigabyte M27Q-SA - Corsair K70 Rapidfire - Logitech MX518 Legendary - HyperXCloud Alpha wireless Boss-NAS [Build Log]: R5 2400G - Noctua NH-D14 - Asus Prime X370-Pro - 16gb G.Skill Aegis 3000mhz - Seasonic Focus Platinum 550W - Fractal Design R5 - 250gb 970 Evo (OS) - 2x500gb 860 Evo (Raid0) - 6x4TB WD Red (RaidZ2) Synology-NAS: DS920+ 2x4TB Ironwolf - 1x18TB Seagate Exos X20 Audio Gear: Hifiman HE-400i - Kennerton Magister - Beyerdynamic DT880 250Ohm - AKG K7XX - Fostex TH-X00 - O2 Amp/DAC Combo - Klipsch RP280F - Klipsch RP160M - Klipsch RP440C - Yamaha RX-V479 Reviews and Stuff: GTX 780 DCU2 // 8600GTS // Hifiman HE-400i // Kennerton Magister Folding all the Proteins! // Boincerino Useful Links: Do you need an AMP/DAC? // Recommended Audio Gear // PSU Tier List Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Render with integrated graphics? That'll get me absolutely nowhere :unsure: I'm going to get 32gb as soon as I next get paid don't you worry If the 212 does come with thermal paste, thats defo what I'm getting-cheers for the heads up dude! The PSU?! How did I miss that? Cheers again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you wanted to render with the i7? because in that case you can go i5 and get a real gaphics card since the 730 is basically shit. but np Gaming HTPC: R5 5600X - Cryorig C7 - Asus ROG B350-i - EVGA RTX2060KO - 16gb G.Skill Ripjaws V 3333mhz - Corsair SF450 - 500gb 960 EVO - LianLi TU100B Desktop PC: R9 3900X - Peerless Assassin 120 SE - Asus Prime X570 Pro - Powercolor 7900XT - 32gb LPX 3200mhz - Corsair SF750 Platinum - 1TB WD SN850X - CoolerMaster NR200 White - Gigabyte M27Q-SA - Corsair K70 Rapidfire - Logitech MX518 Legendary - HyperXCloud Alpha wireless Boss-NAS [Build Log]: R5 2400G - Noctua NH-D14 - Asus Prime X370-Pro - 16gb G.Skill Aegis 3000mhz - Seasonic Focus Platinum 550W - Fractal Design R5 - 250gb 970 Evo (OS) - 2x500gb 860 Evo (Raid0) - 6x4TB WD Red (RaidZ2) Synology-NAS: DS920+ 2x4TB Ironwolf - 1x18TB Seagate Exos X20 Audio Gear: Hifiman HE-400i - Kennerton Magister - Beyerdynamic DT880 250Ohm - AKG K7XX - Fostex TH-X00 - O2 Amp/DAC Combo - Klipsch RP280F - Klipsch RP160M - Klipsch RP440C - Yamaha RX-V479 Reviews and Stuff: GTX 780 DCU2 // 8600GTS // Hifiman HE-400i // Kennerton Magister Folding all the Proteins! // Boincerino Useful Links: Do you need an AMP/DAC? // Recommended Audio Gear // PSU Tier List Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
