Help please

[Brettc13]

I have learned a ton more since posting this around a day ago and now have an update.

MY questions are now, is 550W a good amount of power to feed this set up? , Will the graphics card be able to run newer games at a medium to high graphics level?, Do I need to pick up an after market cooler or not?, Is my Mother Board over board for my set up?

Case- www.newegg.com/.../Product.aspx

HDD- www.newegg.com/.../Product.aspx

Power Supply (550W)- www.newegg.com/.../Product.aspx

Ram(2x4gb=8gb)- www.newegg.com/.../Product.aspx

Mother Board(works with my cpu)- www.newegg.com/.../Product.aspx

CPU- www.newegg.com/.../Product.aspx

or maybe this one(would require me to find a new mother board)-http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113286

Graphics Card- www.newegg.com/.../Product.aspx

or the -http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121913

If you have any answers to my questions I would greatly appreciate it and if you have any suggestions I would appreciate those also.

Thanks,

Mine costs less and gives you the 4gb 960, a fast 120gb SSD, better case for 60 less, a Xeon processor. . works like a locked i7 with HT.. a cpu cooler to get the job done on that Xeon and a better Ram kit with boss heat sinks. and lastly a blue and black color scheme. . have fun gaming

What about this

You don't want to run a system like this on a mediocre/poor PSU like the EVGA 500W. Just because it is 500W and EVGA does not mean it is good quality.

Do you follow the link that is to my build? I was just quoting his so he would see it haha

[AliveGhost13]

What do you suggest?

 

As a minimum, XFX TS (made by Seasonic) perhaps, Antec HCG, any Seasonic or XFX really, or EVGA B2/GS/G2

Did you check out the link below the quote to my PC build ?

Ah, sorry missed that. The NEX isn't great either if I'm honest, those suggestions would be better

How about the

SeaSonic G Series 550-Watt ATX12V/EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply SSR-550RM

[Brettc13]

But then again I trust the one I have selected right now because another member recommended it and it has an 80 + Gold rating. it's also go pretty good reviews. But thanks for the help.

A very good psu. You may also want to consider an M12II 520W or HCG 520W or 620W. I believe the HCG 620W is on sale at the moment.

 

See my sig re 80+ ratings.

The seasonic is better. The NEX is made by FSP, its not bad but it is far from great. It suffers from high ripple

[Guest]

The Rosewill Capstone in the opening build is a good psu.

 

You can get this for $59.99 after rebate though which is even better - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438049&cm_re=evga_gs-_-17-438-049-_-Product

The HCG 620W looks like a good by with good ratings if you suggest I get it and not the seasonic then I'll pick up this one instead. Thanks

Thanks I had not know that.

Both are built by Seasonic. Both are good. The G series would be a better choice. Choice really comes down to pricing and budget.
