[Westy55]

Hi everyone, I need help with my psu and the calculator thing was kinda confusing because I'm a beginner. So anyway here are the parts CPU:

Amd fx 8320 GPU: Asus strix radeon r7 370 motherboard: 

 

Gigabyte AM3+ AMD DDR3 1333 760G HDMI USB 3.0 Micro ATX Motherboard GA-78LMT-USB3

 

 

sorry for huge link didn't  want to right it out

and ram: kingston hyperx 8 gig 4x2. and hdd seagate 2 tb hdd 

and I'm pretty sure the case doesnt matter but it's the deep cool tx mid tower tesseract sw 

that's it thanks

Corsair CX650M should be perfect.

Whats wrong with going for AMD as a starting point for a PC build? I have been using a FX6350 for a few years, and it is capable of all games i have tried. It even took Cities Skylines quite well. It would be perfect for a first build because it is cheap, and performs quite well.

right now they CPU are very old and slow

[Westy55]

so your saying intel?
 

 

[Westy55]

i wanted the cpu i was gonna use cause the benchmarks look really good

please for the love of god tell me you're not buying those parts new.

 

on topic: PCPartPicker's wattage calculator seems to be exceptionally accurate, as well as giving you a good place to search for good psus.

 

i generally just sort by price, select minimum wattage, and go for the first out of these:

corsair RMx, RMi, HX, HXi, AX, AXi

evga G2, P2, GS, PS, B2

anything seasonic.

Don't let GDRRiley tell you what to do! AMD cpus perform well and are cheap. Their price to performance beats Intel almost every time.

i wouldnt call that very good, compared to a chip of half the tdp.. (keep in mind thats not only energy usage from the wall, but also the need for a better cooler, better power supply, and better motherboard)

[Westy55]

guys i have my cpu forget it i was looking for a good power supply

it's not that they're bad, it's that they're just not the right thing to buy anymore.

until you calculate in the requirement of a better cooler, and especially for the 8-cores a beefy motherboard.

[Westy55]
