hello,

         For a long time I have been planning to build an entry level gaming pc for myself, after researching and waiting for the right components to arrive I have finalized the following products

Intel Core i5-6500

asus EX-H110-V motherboard

Sapphire Nitro+ RX 480

corsair 100r

wd blue hdd

CM masterwatt lite 500w psu

corsair value 8gb ddr4 ram 

Please tell me if you see any discrepancies or incompatibility issues in the components (I know I should add an ssd but I am short on cash :( ). Also is the sapphire card good? not like I have a choice. other manufacturers have been out of stock for weeks in my country.

looks fine, the nitro is one of the better RX 480s out there. although i'm not so sure about that masterwatt lite, maybe get a different psu like the seasonic s/m12ii and corsair cx450/550m instead.

I was a little concerned about the PSU also so I checked the Tier list here on the forum and according the list, this is a Tier 2, so that should be good.

that's the masterwatt maker, not the lite.

I dont think the list has been updated with the newer psus but my guess would be a tier 4

Oh, so then it would be the other GM that is on Tier 4?

Don't just assume it's the same quality as another model just because it's the same brand. @STRMfrmXMN how's the masterwatt lite?

I didn't assume because of the brand, I read it said Masterwatt and I couldn't find any other in the list (Maker - Lite).
