Good components for a good rig?

Ede1234 · Feb 25, 2014

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2ZX2g I just found all these parts for my budget of $650 WITH OS. Is it any good? Please give me suggestions and opinions, It is my first build. Thanks Guys!

It's a solid build for that budget, good job, the motherboard allows for a cpu upgrade when needed, though if you can overspend on the power supply by a bit (say go with a good 600 watt or higher) this will allow for more future upgrades

Brantyn Gerik :

Would a Corsair 430W Semi-Mod PSU work for this?

Fliggle_Slaps · Feb 26, 2014

That will do fine, but as Brantyn said it will not leave a lot of room for future upgrades. For example, if you wanted a GTX 770 or 780 later on, you'd probably need a higher wattage PSU. Though I'm interested in seeing what the 800 series will offer in power consumption..

I dont plan on upgrading not something i really thought of but would a cx 430 semi mod psu work for this build?

Fliggle_Slaps · Feb 26, 2014

That will probably be ok, but the minimum recommended PSU for the GTX 660 is a 450w PSU so I guess aim for a 450w.

Ill just stay with the 500 even though it is not semi mod, I am not building my computer so I do not have to worry about the tedious cables

Also http://pcpartpicker.com/p/30Kzo this PSU is 500. Is it good? The corsair one went up in price. So I have to resort to this one?

I'd choose one of these over the EVGA 500w

Those are a bit price heavy. I need one for 49.99 or less.

You can go with the eVGA, but you'll be sacrificing quality for only around $20
