I want stuff!

[Meme lord]

I have $200 and I want to buy something! This is my setup. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rPd3WX

I also like building things, drones and other R.C's are cool. If any of you have any suggestions that would be cool.

new PSU for sure

something like a Corsair RMx or EVGA G2 will be wonderful

[Petoovee]

How old is that PSU?

Maybe not the most entertaining of upgrades, but doesn't sound Tier 3+ to me.

The RMx is so NOICE 10 yr warranty!

ayyy

It'd ditch Raidmax and get a better chassis/PSU combo. 

[rn8686]

Defiantly a new PSU, also a SSD would be good. 

[Pickelhaube]

Get this PSU if you want: RM750x (Although if you can spare the change, I would REALLY get the 1000x. I have it.

Get this CPU cooler if you want: Cryorig H7 Awesome.Way better than the 212 EVO. I use it.

But the Corsair RMx is fully modular, how much would the cables cost?

The cables come with the psu unless you want custom braided ones.

It already comes with a full cable set. But, I would highly recommend CABLEMOD

Why get 1000W PSU, he only needs something akin to a 450 or 550, so 650W would be ideal for headroom, 1000 is way overkill

 

I'd change out the PSU and get a boot drive SSD, anything elese I would change is beyond 200 bucks

[Meme lord]

So the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16817139143 would work? Btw, ive heard of cablemod but price is $100

1000w is surely safe for the future, and hey? What if he gets serious and wants to pull closer to 1000w in the future? He won't have to pay another $100 for a new PSU because the one he is using is underpowered. Plus, the 850 and above have TONS of connectors.

RM1000x /\ 

RM650x /\

The future will have lower power components not really higher power one, plus you'll end up paying more down the line in power usage as running a 1000 watt psu at low wattage is very inefficient

By the time I get to 1000W usage ill have a completely new system

GET the 850x. It's the same price for a better PSU.

imo EVGA power supplies are cheaper and I have never run into any problems with them in my 5 years of using them. You could get the EVGA 750g2 for $100 and then buy a cheap ssd for booting:

On pcpartpicker, it says my pc only uses 400W. Could I get a 550W power supply?

As for a SSD I recommend a 250GB or 500GB samsung 850 evo, it will help greatly with boot times and is a great thing to have imo

 

Thats all the input I have, you'll have to pick what matters to u

A cheap SSD of today is bad because the ones you find cheap are some of the first 2.5" ssds ever released, with horrible performance, or just really low capacity. The lowest id ever go is a Kingston 120GB SSDnow v300.

You can get a perfectly normal recently released ssd 120GB for around $80, You would know that if you followed the link I provided, I would say even a below average ssd is still a vast improvement from a HDD, not everything you buy has to be top of the line in it's spectrum. And low capacity means nothing if it's /just/ a boot drive.

[MIXFUSED]

Definitely a new SSD

Low-end SSDs are unreliable to the point I would not install an OS onto them.
