Can I lower the price of this build?

blade2697 · Jun 22, 2013

I have a few parts left to buy, but I don't have quite enough to get them now. What can I do to lower the prices of these items?

Parts I need still: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/19fMk

My whole build all together:

How much do you need to lower the price for the items you still have to buy? The only way is to get less expensive, lower performing components.

That's a hefty PSU for what you've got...you should drag it down to a 350 or 400W PSU.

clutchc · Jun 23, 2013

+1^ but I wouldn't go less than 500W myself. You need some headroom for efficiency.

Are you sure I should lower the power supply? My video card alone needs 500W (Source - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150641&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=) System Requirements:
Minimum of a 500 Watt power supply.

clutchc :

Yes, but as stated - it looks like it will only use 150W of power, 400W is headroom

blade2697 :

That's a strange choice for a make for the Radeon...

But, it means the whole computer, not just the graphics card.

No, your HD 7850 is only a 130W TDP card.

That relates to 10.8 amps on the +12V rail. The 500W rating is only a lawyer's estimate based on what the rest of your system may contain.

I just did a calculator and it said I need ATLEAST 550 watts, unfortunately i cannot decrease that...Ill have to bear with what I have. thanks guys

clutchc · Jun 23, 2013

What calc did you use?!

blade2697 · Jun 23, 2013

An ASUS power supply watt calculator, Also Jacks0n, Get off this forums if your going to have a negative attitude and be an asshat to everyone. Its unnecessary. I did forget to add, I will be OCing a TINY bit

how much power you need? Look this.

Best read this too.
borrowed from the test:

For this test we measure power consumption of only the graphics card, via PCI-Express power connector(s) and PCI-Express bus slot. A Keithley Integra 2700 with 6.5 digits is used for all measurements. Again, the values here reflect card only power consumption measured at DC VGA card inputs, not the whole system.
We chose Crysis 2 as a standard test representing typical 3D gaming usage because it offers: - very high power draw - high repeatability - is a current game that is supported on all cards due to its DirectX 9 nature - drivers are actively tested and optimized for it - supports all multi-GPU configurations - test runs a relatively short time and renders a non-static scene with variable complexity.Peak: Crysis 2 at 1920x1200, Extreme profile, representing a typical gaming power draw. Highest single reading during the test.
