[R3ep3r]

You could keep that 1060 or simply switch to the red team and buy a RX480.

[NoxiousOdor]

I think what you have is fine

[Blackhole890]

changed gpu to rx 480 and better psu, NEVER ever get a cheap psu

Too little vRAM would prefer the 4GB RX 480.

[Castdeath97]

I would get this personally: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/84M323/msi-radeon-rx-480-4gb-gaming-x-video-card-radeon-rx-480-gaming-x-4g

 

The MSI cooler performs really well, and I think you can afford going over the budget by 5 USD.

Or he can get the G1 Gaming, which is a perfectly fine cooler and $20 under budget

The Asus Dual tends to be noisy:

 

http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/graphics/102925-asus-radeon-rx-480-dual-oc-4gb/?page=12

 

So, I would recommend getting a more silent cooler, or turning down that fan (it's a bit over done from Asus part).

[CatXice]

change it to the 480 as 4gb or vram is lowest you should really go and get a 80+ bronze psu or a gold if you can afford it cheap psu's are just a bad idea

He said it can't be over $200. The CPU alone is $200

 

edit: my bad I thought he meant the whole build was supposed to be under $200

The PSU is good quality, its just lower wattage thats why its cheaper plus there a rebate. The PSU is normally almost $50 but theres the $10 off because of the mail-rebate, it makes it look cheaper than is really is. I EVGA makes pretty good PSUs.

No, EVGA makes some good PSUs but that doesn't mean ALL of their psu's are nice

no its not. These psus tend to be cheap and obviusly worse quality... AS you can see on this psu list, it's on the tier 6 so getting one would be like getting a timebomb... Even EVGA makes shit psus or at least, for this build is not recommended...

again, don't recommend that psu so it can kill your components too even if its made by evga, for build like this is not recommended to get one of these...

 

the motherboard that he/she had chosen means that he/she would probably overclock, so downgrading would be a bad idea...

I have to disagree, the reviews on this PSU speak for themselves. The #1 problem with the PSU was the fact it was NON-MODULAR, not that it shorted out and killed computer parts. And it is an 80+ bronze not just an 80+

Oh shit was there an EVGA 430w in there? Hell, my bad. I copied part of that list from one of my friend's builds.

I personally used the EVGA 430w PSU in my first ever build with my A8-7600k and an R7 370, and worked great. It wasnt till I upgraded to an FX CPU that is power hungry that I had to switch PSUs as there just was not enough wattage. Ryzen is a very power efficent CPU so even though its only 430w it should still work jsut as well. Its still also an 80+ bronze meaning its the same standard with parts vs other PSUs

True, but it still is kind of bargain bin for PSU's. The extra money spent on the corsair will be more than worth it

again, you don't know what does 80+ means so make you sure first what are you talking about, and if this build were for office use, then it would just work fine

Get a 4Gb 480 instead, 3Gb isnt enough.

I know that the 80+ rating defines the quality of the parts used in a PSU, I'm not even going to bother opening that link becuase just reading the first sentence I can see where this is going. But What I don't get is the fact were both recommnding 80+ Bronze, which is an industry standard. I don't see how your saying one 80+ Bronze is a higher quality than another 80+ Bronze, the difference will come in wattage, and if the PSU is modular, semi-modular, or non-modular. I am suggesting the 430 watt becuase its #1 Meets the needed wattage for their build, and #2 Saves them a little money.

because different psus are made by different components, otherwise there would not be any psu list or whatever or different prices... Usually, cheaper psus are made by cheaper components which leads to have less lifespan and get more stressed so it has more probabilities to stop working and take at least from one component to all your whole system down...

"A higher 80 PLUS rating correlates to better quality." Incorrect. Certain components in a PSU do need to be of a certain quality to achieve higher efficiency, however, quality of soldering, capacitors, etc, can be forgone to achieve an exemplary 80 PLUS rating. Electrical performance can be ditched as well. I like to use the EVGA G1 as an example of this. It's made of above average componentry, performs lackingly, and achieves gold efficiency. Then there's the EVGA B2, which is constructed about as good, performs better electrically, and advertises 80 PLUS Bronze efficiency (it actually achieves 80 PLUS Silver efficiency but that standard has been long given up). The EVGA B2 is a better PSU than the G1, yet it wastes slightly more electricity.

 

#1- You can have 600w psu and never upgrade until you run 2 r9 fury x for example. What i mean is that if he/she upgrades the gpu and his/her power supply does not give enough, he/she would need to buy a new psu... I don't mean to get the psu with highest watts possible but i suggest to get, at least, 500-600w.

 

#2- Save money huh? The intention wasn't bad but if you want to save money, save on cheaper gpu or ram but never on psu unless you want to have a firebomb in your house and after a year say bye to your computer...
