Thanks :)

Hi Guys , first of all thank you for your time reading this,

 

I'm building a new system and I would be very happy, if you could suggest some power supplies and a cpu cooler, since there are a lot of suggestions out there.

 

My build is

Case : NZXT Manta

Motherboard: Asus VIII impact

CPU: i5 6600k

RAM: Kingston fury 16gb ddr4

GPU: Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1070 G1

STORAGE: SSD Sandisk Ultra II 240 GB and an HDD 1T

(I'm also planning to add and extra ssd in the future.)

I will overclock but don't think any extreme push. I don't want my psu to be overkill.

Budget: 150 euro ( I live in Europe )

 

Again thank you for reading this. :)

Hi! 

 

I leave in Greece but I can always buy from amazon.co.uk and amazon.de

 

Thank you for your response :)

This list from amazon.co.uk is about the best you can do imo. I did check NH-D14 compatibility with the Manta, but do check again yourself.

Remember that a PSU brand doesn't equate to the same quality throughout their product stack.

 

From EVGA, I'd say every PSU is fine save the 400W, and we don't know about the BQ models so don't buy those yet.

Consider this if you don't like the poop brown color from noctua.

I was about to comment on this, Noctua seems like a top notch cooler but that brown colour doesnt fit my build at all.

I found now that dark rock is at 55 euro at my country so seems like i will choose that one. Is there any significant difference between the pro model?

The Dark Rock Pro 3 won't fit into the manta.

 

If you want a cheaper model that still performs like a champ and has great clearance for tall memory there's this

It's like, a lot better at cooling than a 212 EVO :P

 

And tbh it is the best CPU cooler in terms of performance per dollar and case campatibility. It sucks that thay don't ship to anywhere outside of Europe.

Wow this cooler is a beast!

I just found that this psu has a discount at my country (70 euro) , it will save me some money

http://pcpartpicker.com/product/9Gqbt6/cooler-master-power-supply-rs550afbag1us

It's not full modular but its 80+ gold. Do you think it's legit?

 

Thanks

That PSU from CM is fine.

 

But you might find cheaper, better models. What website do you shop from?
