So i've been having a build in pcpartpicker and I've been changing and adjusting things for some time and now i thought i was finally done and posted here about it,and a lot of people well not really that much told me the psu wasn't good.Its a evga modular 650 watt psu with a 80+ gold efficiency so i don't get the problem.I've seen people use it with 2 gpus (ed from tech source) with no problem so what the heck?.personally i'm kinda really strict with my color scheme and really wouldn't want ketchup and mustard cables and in my country i can't get sleeved extensions without going full pricey.

p.s. my pc specs are:

cpu:i5-6600k

gpu:asus 1060 strix

ram:gskill ripjaws 2x8 gb 2400 mhz 

aaaand the rest doesn't really have much impact on tdp (not that ram has any)

If you are referring to the NexG1 its because its group regulated which means it can't output just about all of its power on the 12V rail which isn't good since if you buy a 650 watt PSU you are likely running two GPU's which use power from the 12V rail. On top of it has not so good voltage regulation and average performance.

 

The only reason why Evga is really selling it anymore is because of their brand name and the high end PSU's associated with it, it being gold which everyone thinks is the greatest thing since sliced bread, and it being only 1 letter off from the famous G2 seires.

 

 Also most people are in countries that have a broad range of PSU's to pick from which is why most people say to avoid it since you usually can get better for its price range.  It sounds like it would be the best choice for you in your country unless you mind linking to a merchant there.
