PSU for my build

[HiGhPiNgLoWsKiLl]

Antec p8 case

DDr4 2400 ram

ryzen 5 1600 CPU

msi x370 gaming pro carbon

gtx 1070 ti AMP edition

2x128 SSD

1x1tb HDD

 

PSU-600to650W (I NEED A BUDGET PSU, NO MONEY PLZ HELP) under 75usd

Any suggestions for a cooler, a cheap one... and do I need one? I heard the stock cooler for ryzen 5 1600 was pretty good even for highish OC

The wraith cooler is quite okay, yes.

 

But don't (ever) cheap out on your PSU. In the event of its death, it may take some parts down with it

A location would be nice. For now I will assume you’re in the USA. This is the best deal on PCPP for a PSU right now.

I live in Hong Kong, I tried searching that model and cannot find in the website I use.

Any of you guys heard of Master cooler B600 v2? Is that any good?

[focus2003]

A seasonic would have been very good, but in that case you can go for a Corsair CX550M, but it must be a gray unit.

600-650W is just bullshit, you don't need that.

450-550W is fine.

 

As for 'highish OC', don't bother and invest in memory, that might give you more performance than the 200MHz you can squeeze out of the chip.

 

If nothing changed, Ryzen is a bad overclock chip.

No, Seasonic has some not that great units.

And you must never ever ever go and buy things by Manufacturers ever.

 

You always have to take a look at what you want to buy and get that.

I meant the one he offered, I just didn't think of writing the whole name. Although anything past the S12II of Seasonic's PSUs are pretty decent overall.

Meh, S12II/M12II/M12II EVO are kinda terrible

No, not really...

With what I've been hearing behind the scenes and seeing in Forums, Seasonic isn't that great. Some Seasonic made units seem to have a reliability Issue and die prematurely with failure modes that sounds like capacitors are dead/dying...

 

The G-Series might have been OK electrically but in terms of noise they aren't good units - there are just way better options on the market...

 

And there is the S12II/M12II variants (620W and below) wich are loud, badly protected, group regulated...

 

The 750W and above variants are OKish. A bit on the loud side but otherwise they are OKish...

 

 

So, no, you must never ever ever just take the manufacturer of the PSU. And just because someone makes the units themselves doesn't mean they are any better than outsourced ones...
