Reason I asked here is because I couldn't find any proper reviews on this unit and the one unksol linked to is not the modular one and I don't know if there's any differences between the two
Hi - what's your PSU budget and where are you located? I'm sure there's better alternatives available.
I'm from Norway and my budget is max 100$ for the PSU, but electronics and PC parts in general are more expensive here than many other places such as in the US... currently I'm considering the CX600, but I've heard that you should stay away from cooler master and the Corsair CX series
My build:
- bitfenix shinobi
- Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P (rev. 1.0)
- AMD FX-8350
- Crucial BallistiX Sport 8GB 1600MHz
- Gigabyte R9 280X Windforce
- Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB SSD
- Western Digital Scorpio Blue 750GB (from old laptop)
- Western Digital Scorpio Blue 320GB (from old laptop)
This is pretty much the whole build but I want at least 600W PSU to go with it just so I can upgrade a little later with some better cooling and overclock my CPU...
Hi - I'll recommend some in a few min, & keep under 545krone. There is some truth to
Coolermaster and the CX series. The CX series is a budget/entry level PSU and uses mostly
budget level internal parts, there is nothing wrong with it otherwise tho.
I try to steer people to a little better quality PSU with systems having mid range to upper range
GPU's, such as your 280x.
Coolermaster does have some worthy PSU,s, however you would have to post the model & get feedback.
Generally, their Silent Pro and V series are good quality, and the V series (not VS) are actually very
good units.
Give me a couple minutes to find you some to cindiser.
This is less than 600w(but it's at your budget limit), but more than enough +12v amps for your system.
