I'm going to start getting more money soon and my brother is going to help me out a bit too, but I don't think I could ever afford that. My mom tells me to work for something I want and she's the only one with a real job so I would have to wait 2 more years to get that stuff. I've been waiting forever. I don't have the patience you do.

Hey if u work hard u can afford anything. I made like $200 helping my grandpa convert tapes into cds. Ik this may sound mean but find someone who will pay a lot for an easy task, do a lot of it, then profit.

How is this? I want to play games like gta, overwatch, call of duty (ww2 when it comes out) borderlands, garrys mod, dying light, etc on at least medium settings. i also want to overclock the graphics card, can i do that? and am i missing anything? (i already have some case fans so thats why they arent there. i can get a monitor too)

So how much can I overclock the 1050? I don't know much about it and I'm not asking for a tutorial I don't want to waste your time on something I could find on YouTube, but with that psu, will I be able to have a noticable gaming difference or will I kill my power supply?

You won't come close to that PSU, as for overclocking, it's a case of either telling the card you're fine with it using more power or running hotter, or taking a more heavy handed approach and instructing to add so many megahertz onto the current boost clock, AMD gives you a little more control in that regard actually.

Please spend like $10 more and get a PSU from a reputable company. You'll regret it if you lose $400 because your PSU exploded.

Dude if ur really budget I'd recommend waiting. I'm 12 and I have been saving my money for god knows how long and I don't waste it. I ask my parents for one or two things that they pay for (like tech things they gave me shoes and food and stuff) and everything else I pay for. Now I'm about to build myself a great setup with a r5 1400, a rx 580, and a 29" ultrawide since I was patient and I spend wisely on stuff I will actually use. Oh and look at my signature. Try to guess what my main device I'm using is. Itll be my secondary device soon but you have to have patience. 

Waiting isn't that bad, by waiting maybe you can get $1500 IMO. Yeah you are right

Generally, they won't blow up when you plug them in, but too many times, people see that EVGA or Corsair or some other big company makes PSUs, and then gets a VS unit for a $1000 build.

 

 

thankfully this build is barely half of that, that advise, for budget builds hold true, name brands will have good OEMs and sure they're miles from the better units in the line, but they don't need to be massively well built for budget builds. I think the fact so many people over rate the system and slap a massive power supply in and that's what leads to that though, I doubt my RM850x will ever get close to it's 850 rating, but as gets older the rating will naturally begin to decrease from what it can actually deliver (often over 10% of rated continuous rating) to probably a little lower than it and then failure and it's not able to power a Celeron. I see so many people putting the 750 lower end PSU from corsair into everything, sure that PSU is better than it's fellow CX, VS, whatever X series counterparts, but it isn't a massive amount better.

Really!?

 

I thought PSUs deliver their rated wattage until they die

 

@Energycore can you confirm?

They do, as a result of usually actually being able to do higher. As the capacitors die (they're really the main thing, swap those out and it'll probably live until a transistor shits the bed), they hit what I called the wall, they suddenly fall off in their outputs, they might die outright or be very unstable. 

I've seen a few failure modes. One was working, but could barely do 300 watts even though it was 600 watt. I've seen too many OEM ones tier one manufacturers die completely, and a couple of ones as I said, they worked fine, but take them over about 60% of their rating, they get hot and unstable, similar* but not the same as if they derated. I wouldn't use them in anything, even a HP or dell, they get recycled.
