Ok, so first off lets make things clear

 

People do not advice GAMING builds with a CX PSU

Why?

 

Because its for Basic builds Meaning office pc's and stuff like that

 

there are better PSU's for the price

 

If you want to cheap out on a PSU at leaste cheap out on this

Getting a CX is kinda like the chance of winning the lottery

I have a  cx430 a 4790k and a 260x for a year now and it never let me down once, though this may Vary upon the models

Yes but I would change it out for say a GS 550w

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

CX series power supplies are not suitable for gaming builds, due to cheap parts. But 600 watts will work.

I am conducting some polls regarding your opinion of large technology companies. I would appreciate your response.

It's enough wattage but a poor quality PSU. Get an EVGA 550W GS.
