Hey guys, this is my second post in this forum. In the first one, I recieve a lot of feedback from good people, which I really appreciate. I made some changes to my pre built.  I would like to know what you think about  it and if it is necessary to change or add more parts.


My budget is between $800 USD  and $900USD , but it would be nice to reduce it to 800$ USD or less ( if it is possible)


Thanks 


P.D


- I already have a mic,a keyboard, a mouse, a keyboard, a monitor and an optical drive.


- I am majoring in software engineer and I love playing videogames ( Dota 2, CS GO, Hearthstone, Starcraft 2 , HOTS, Mortal Kombat X and more on) so i am gonna use this computer for engineer stuff and gaming.


- I am going to overlock the computer, but I dont know if the PSU is the right choice for it. Please, let me know, so I can change it

Yes, NEX series is only decent, but G2/GS/GQ/B2/P2 are actually good.

GQ offers great value for money, B2 too. G2 and GS are around the same as GQ in terms of quality, but they're a bit more expensive, P2 is outstanding and has 10 years warranty (the best psu you can get imo)

Are those good for overlocking?

They're great. One of those units if 650W can support any single-GPU setup no matter how far you overclock basically.

The http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-210gq0650 is well priced right now, grab it.

Note:  The EVGA GQ line is made by FSP.  I don't know how good/bad it is though.  Seems okay I guess:  http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story6&reid=451

 

The B2 is better =P.  Not really:  http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story6&reid=393
