Posted March 20, 2017 So im thinking of buying a i5 6500 and rx 480 with an asrock motherboard off of newegg. The ram will most likely come from ebay. But the psu i know you cant cheap out on. How cheap is too cheap though? This ones 21$. It says bronze certified though. Is this a decent one? https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA9SK5AS0210 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 20, 2017 I find that Logisys PSUs are best used for covering up other crimes. Hook one up to an FX 9590, crank up Prime95, toss some papers on the floor and walk away. I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 20, 2017 That's definitely too cheap. Start with this list. I'd say even something as low as Tier 3 is acceptable if your budget requires it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't cheap out on your PSU. Ever. $45-55 will get you a Corsair CXM or a Seasonic S12II/M12II. I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.

Mine worked best when my power went out and our electric stove and microwave became unavailable to me so I put one in a system with a 6950X and quad GTX 480s and let it simmer my ramen away. |PSU Tier List /80 Plus Efficiency| PSU stuff if you need it.

It's comparable to having an expensive house and car but being unable to afford feeding your family. You need to balance all three. http://pcpartpicker.com/product/4Vzv6h/seasonic-power-supply-s12ii430b That. That'll do good for cheap. |PSU Tier List /80 Plus Efficiency| PSU stuff if you need it.
