Hi ive just bought this rig is it any good.

Cpu i5 4440

Mother board h81m-s2pv

Gpu gtx 780

Ram 8gb

Psu corsair cx600

Galaxy 3 gaming case

I will only be gaming and nothing else

The corsair CX lne of PSUs is not recomended. Otherwise you should be good to go.

Its excellent. You will be gaming everything in max settings in 1080p and some games 1440p.

make sure the ram voltage is 1.5v, the memory controller is only rated for 1.575v and is 1600 and cas latency 8 or 9

that power supply is garbage and will not be good for your system as it is of poor build quality
go with this one

i checked your specs and you ar rated to handle 33.83a on the 12v rail this psu you pushes 44a with a -.5 variance so 43.5 perfect for your system

i need to know the model of 780 you plan on getting as your clearance for gpu in your case is less than 11 inches, the reference 780 are 10.5 inches long but the ones with non reference coolers can be longer.

Im not sure what type of gtx 780 it comes with its custom built this is the one. Its my first ever gaming pc. http://www.freshtechsolutions.co.uk/intel-core-i5-4440-1tb-8gb-1866mhz-gtx-780-3gb-galaxy-computer-gaming-pc.html

Try to get a bigger psu
As the graphic card you mentioned will require more energy

And yes this rig is good for gaming and you will be satisfied with the price you pay

Hellshound666 :

so your not building it your self? if not it is fine and will do really well in games, make sure that you get an extended warranty though as that psu is known to have issues and might cause stability issues.

Hellshound666 · Mar 4, 2014

No im not building it my self, i think i get 1 year parts and labour and an extra 2 years labour. But if it is that bad i dont mind replacing it in the next 6 months or so (psu)

Bad_Kitty13 · Mar 4, 2014

well then it is a good system and you will love when you do replace it get a tier 1 or 2 psu

i have known 3 people that psu has failed on in the past 7 days but you have a warranty so your good

Hellshound666 · Mar 4, 2014

Ok thank you all

Bad_Kitty13 · Mar 4, 2014

Hellshound666 :

no probs

I'd recommend getting a slightly higher wattage PSU but other than that I think you're all in the clear. That cx600 will work off the bat, but it may be pushed towards its limits. I'm not saying you'll be over its rated wattage, but you could be approaching it under heavy loads. I'd recommend a Seasonic 650+ watt unit. But honestly as is, your setup seems good mate.
