Is this a good $750 build? (+ questions)

[i_build_nanosuits]

Really? Litteraly copied the OP.

Upgrading. Meaning I am going to get the R9 380 now and upgrade it to dual R9 290X's. Meaning I have to upgrade my PSU later too. Wich is why I am going to get a cheap 600W PSU.

Like i said, let go the fans for now and go with a 2x4GB kit and afford a proper PSU...a good 550W gold unit from seasonic, XFX or some evga will do the trick even for a 390X...get a 600 or 650w with the money you'll have plenty...check reviews...a PSU is NOT the place to save money on.

 

Add more memory and extra fans later if needed along with a more powerful GPU.

 

Look the machine in my sig is running all overclocked on a 550W PSU...you just need A GOOD ONE and they are not that much more expensive.

Using all my common sense I have left (I dont have much) and a psu calculator The max I would need is 450 Watts. I think a 600 Watt 80+ bronze will be more than enough. And I dont really need a fully modular psu. Semi-Modular is fine as long as it has 1 6+2 connecter (but it has 2 but w/e. I'll hide them behind the case)

 

I mean, I have another desktop for "work stuff" wich has a psu of like 200 watt.

Well ofcourse work stuff !== gaming

it's NOT about the wattage...wattage is JUST a NUMBER...it's about QUALITY.

Both are important. Quality > Wattage though. But both do matter.

You dont need another cooler for that cpu. The stock cooler will do fine

I am not changing the motherboard since I already am going to buy a decent-ish one with 2 16xPCI slots to get dual GPU's.

I need 16Gb ram for video editing

240 Gb of storage space. What even? My porn folder is larger (not really)

I cant even.

ok.

 

Psst, the cooler is for noise.

[KawaiiNacho]

I dont really care how loud the pc is tbh.

I dont get why people care too? Is that big of a deal?

You're gaming and doing work anyway with audio 'n stuff. You probably dont even hear it unless its like 60 decibells wich I doubt will happen.

Check reviews.

No amount of ram can compensate for poor code.
