Cheap case + cheap power supply

[Kebogu,]

A local store is offering this model for $45 and it seems too good to be true, what do you guys think?

Build im making has:

Graphics card- RX 470 4gb

Motherboard- MSI B150 G3

Microprocessor- i3 6100

[arnavvr]

That's just a Case and Power Supply, no Motherboard, GPU, or CPU.

Not too good to be true, its crap.

 

a good 600w psu is much better than a cheap 600w psu.

 

Those cheap 600w psu's are often only able to ouput ~300w and then go boom

[Apollo Refugio]

your stuff is low wattage, so that 600 watt might be able to support your system? I don't know about long-term reliability, but personally, I'd cash out some extra dough, maybe even $10-15 to get a case and a PSU from a decent company

I would get it but just for the case. Then add with a quality one in there. The other PSU can be used as a Note 7 vs cheap PSU video comparison

Personally I would only buy a case psu bundle if the manufacture of the case has a good rep for PSU's ie: Corsair, Cooler master if its not a well known brand I would not jump on it. I think its just better to buy a case and a power supply separate form each other

Here are some good ones

PSU EVGA 80+ Bronze 600W  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16817438014

 

Case Corsair 88R http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139068&cm_re=corsair-_-11-139-068-_-Product

For a 470 you'd be better off not powering it with a firebomb PSU included with a chassis.

 

Get a Corsair CX450M and a Deepcool Tesseract.

I wouldn't trust a 600w psu that came with a $45 case to power the garbage computers at my job let alone a personal rig. By contrast, I have a 550w Platinum unit that was around 110usd.

I think you are are misunderstanding, im getting those three components, but im asking about the case and power supply.

This is probably the PSU that's coming with the case, as the only other 600w unit is made for a HP computer (may have proprietary connectors).

 

Modern day power supply have most or all of its rated power on the +12V rail. As you can see in this unit, it only has 16A on the +12V which is 192w. That's, at best, a ~200w unit if we go about that. Also, the presence of the negative 5V rail shows that this PSU is design over a decade ago.

 

It is highly recommended that you invest in a proper, modern day power supply for your system.
