Never EVER skimp on a cheap PSU I beg of you, get a Corsair branded or Silverstone. Skimping on a PSU can kill so much stuff.

it's based on fact. he didn't just randomize the order.

fact is that those EVGA white units have rocky power delivery, and aren't really designed for system with a dGPU.

 

it won't kill everything instantly, but it ain't that good.

I was about to mention this. If the buyer of this system wants to buy a 570 they'll have to wait a year or so if this Bitcoin mining craze continues.

Should be fine, but read what I said in the quote above. You may be stuck getting a used GPU or a 1050 Ti or something.

I would recommend the Corsair CX450M. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139146

It's based on a more modern design and offer modularity.

Reviewers like TechPowerUp, JonnyGuru, etc, and adjusting the tier they'd be in based on quality and electrical performance. I go over it on the tier list in the spoiler at the bottom.
