Looks good. I'm just not so sure about the PSU. Afaik the CX lineup isn't meant to power gaming rigs like this.

the cx450m should be good enough. 80+ bronze, at least everyone tells me it is good enough. why would it not be good enough to power gaming rigs? my last rig has a i5 6500 and a rx 470 w the same psu and it worked gr8.

thnx for you reply btw :D

Older CX models frequently blew up when hooked up to a gaming rig.

"Before i begin i would like to make it clear that this thread is about the old CX 430/500/600 NOT! the newer CX450/550/650"

 

That's why I was sceptical.

1. There's no price on the graphics card and the RX 580 replaces it in the market, so I'm not sure how can you get your hands on one new.

 

2. This SSD is much faster https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/442516/sandisk-ssd-plus-(mlc)-120gb.html for a little bit more.

Yes, I know.
That doesn't mean I automatically know how it performs just because they now put an "M" behind its name.
