its all good. but i would recommend a better quality power supply. never go with cheap psu's. may risk your components in danger if the psu fails. go with antec,seasonic,xfx,corsair.

serbiandevil · Apr 28, 2014

Give me models of PSU wich you recommend under $150

P.S this PSU cost 120 euro in my country

ModernWarfare · Apr 28, 2014

these are totally enough for this build

Is nessesary to change PSU? I didn't even seen any problem since 1 year gaming on this PC with the mine PSU, it's great working, no problems? I don't have so much money left

ModernWarfare · Apr 28, 2014

its important but not really in risk. you can change it later well basically there is no 80+ efficiency or quality components in that psu not great voltage regulation and may fail at its peak power. just saying you're fine for now but not with heavy overclocking.

serbiandevil · Apr 28, 2014

So you mean I won't be in problem if I don't overclock? I will not be even when I do overclock but I will be if I do hard overclock with big voltages?

Who makes this Chieftec? CWT? They are pretty well known I thought. I'd keep it.

ModernWarfare · Apr 28, 2014

exactly. you can do a slight overclock or dont overclock at all to be safe. never go heavy on overclocking with that psu. whats another thing about cheap psu's is that they rate it at 750watt but doesnt really exceed 750watts. it will probably handle around 500watts or less.

serbiandevil · Apr 28, 2014

This is my PSU? Rate from 1 to 10

whats the amps on the 12volt rail?.

serbiandevil · Apr 28, 2014

What did you mean?

ModernWarfare · Apr 28, 2014

your psu sticker what amps on the 12v1.

serbiandevil · Apr 28, 2014

I can't find that

damric · Apr 28, 2014

Eww it's a multi-rail unit. It might still be fine but you need to split the rails right.

serbiandevil · Apr 28, 2014

What are you saying??????? Lol i dont understand and mine is 750W

damric · Apr 28, 2014

It means put your GPU on a serperate rail if possible, as this PSU has several weaker rails instead of one strong rail.

serbiandevil · Apr 28, 2014

What did you mean Rails?

Instead of us explaining every small detail I find it much easier if I link you to an article for you to read and get all the info then answer question on what you don't understand.
This being said here are the links for PSU's : http://computer.howstuffworks.com/power-supply.htm
