Wattage use

[Kwsky7]

I had another thread about i5 6500 vs 6600, but I decided to make a new thread to correspond with this subject.

 

I'm building a PC as I have mentioned before, It's a pretty strict budget.

 

Here are the specs:

 

Corsair Carbide SPEC-M2

ASUS B150M Pro Gaming - Socket 1151

GTX 680/750TI [ Two of my friends have these, and I can choose for free. Feel free to tell me which one I should go for, I know the 680 uses quite a decent amount of wattage, while the 750ti doesn't ]

Intel Core i5 - 6500

Fractal Design Edison M 550w

HyperX Fury Black 2133MHz CL14 2x4GB

HyperX Fury 120GB

 

Is this build good enough? And what wattage am I looking to overall use? I used an calculator and got around recommended 232W for all, but I'm not sure if the site is accurate or not [prob just being paranoid]

 

Is the Fractal Design Edison M 550w a good PSU? I originally wanted the CX because it was on sale.  On the downside, I heard the CX series is pretty shit.

 

Also, feel free to tell me overall FPS I would get in CSGO/H1Z1 with the 6500 and 680 or 750ti.

 

Thanks!

Good enough for what?

And the PSU is a tier 2, so it is good.

Good enough for overall gamin and regarding PSU, not frying my system within 2 months. H1Z1, CSGO, DayZ [ which has become better with 0.60/06.1 update regarding FPS ]

Your graphics card and CPU use a total of 397watts. You should be good powerwise. I promise 250+FPS in csgo.

250 fps with what card? 680 or 750ti?

[ShadySocks]

Both probably

Get the 680 for sure.

The wattage is for the 680.

The new Corsair CXM (grey label) is better than the Edison, if you want that. The old CX series isn't "shit" by any stretch of the imagination but it's amazing.

 

A 680 and i5 would use around 250W under load.

That's interesting because Edison is  tier 2 on your psu tier list while cxm is tier 3.
