Whats your goal for the system? Are you intending on overclocking? Will it be for games mostly or rendering/compute work mostly?

The NEX is not a good PSU. Stick to EVGA B2/GS/G2.

 

Also, ASRock has poor support and are pretty meh, there's a reason they have so many features for so little money on the surface :P

So not true

 

Okay, I guess the ASRock point is a personal thing but the PSU thing is true

Right.. but still eith that psu the supernova series are good psus a lot of people recommend it here.. i personally will use the seasonic 620W fully modular psu cos it nails it with the balance between price, features and performance

Lots of people recommend it here incorrectly, they are made by FSP. The other SuperNovas that are recommended are the G2, GS, B2 and P2, which are all better units. The NEX B and G1 are the one's to avoid
