Upgrading PC

[JochenM]

Hey!

A friend of me is building a new PC and I got some parts for him together.

I just wanted someone to confirm that this system will actually work or if there are any small things I should consider changing.

He has a HDD and Windows from his old system, so no need to buy a new one.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Everything is good, but maybe consider changing the PSU to something like a Corsair RMx or RMi?

Ok, just out of pure interest is there any reason why? Because it's cleaner/easier to cable manage or?

Thanks a lot though

Judging by the other parts, you can probably spend a bit more on the PSU. Cooler Master doesn't make the best PSUs IIRC, and the Corsair one looks good and is fully modular, 80+ Gold rated, and other good stuff.

I second @kelvinhall05's statement.

You have a high performance build, get a PSU that suits it as well. If you want examples if good PSU's look here:

Tier 1 being the best.

I can personally recommend the G2 series from EVGA, they are expensive but totally worth it unless you want to fry your system.

It's better to buy a i7 with a cooler like the 'Hyper 212 evo' or 'Cryorig H7'. An i7 is much better and you can upgrade later always to a better cooler. Instead of buying a new i7 from €330,-.  

 

So in my opinion swap the CPU and CPU cooler this way: (it;s also 6 dollar cheaper )
