Hey guys,
Basically I'm hoping to build a mid end gaming pc, and I'm a little anxious on choosing the right PSU.. My first build was amazing at the time, handling ultra on any game practically (until tomb raider and the likes hit the market >.<), and my Intel quad core q9550 just gave out.. now I was still happy with my Radeon HD 4870, so you could imagine my surprise when I look back into building again after 3 years or so, and having to catch up on all these new age generations xD
So far I've got:
CPU: AMD FX 6300, 3.5-4.1GHz, 6 core, 14Mb @ 95W. £76.36
GPU: Sapphire Radeon R7 260X OC, PCIe 3.0, 6000MHz 2Gb GDDR5, 128 bit, 1050MHz core clock speed, 896 stream processors, requires 1x12V 6pin @ 75W. £94.23
Mobo: Gigabyte 970A-UD3P, 4x Dual channel DDR3 DIMM, 1066-2000 (OC)MHz, 1x PCIe x16 @ x16, 1x PCIe x16 @ x4, 3x PCIe x1, 2x PCI. 6x SATA @ 6GB/s. Needs 1x 24 pin ATX, 1x 8 pin ATX 12V. £63.43
I'm going to pick up some DDR3 RAM, 2x 2Gb at least @1.5V each, probably 1866MHz.
I've already got a TPLink wireless card, 2 HDDs, and a CD/DVD RW optical drive.
I'm going to decide on a case after deciding on all the components so I can check they all fit, and ill allow for the system fan power requirements too, just in case.
I'm thinking a 750W-800W PSU, with 2x 4pin ATX 12V and 2x 6pin PCIe connectors, in addition to the usual connectors ofcourse. But I'm really not comfortable trusting myself working out the power outputs from each rail, etc.
Ill only be OC'ing if needed, can't tell yet
But do you guys have any suggestions for the PSU,not too expensive, but one that won't sacrifice efficiency and potential? (Plus, does the build sound okay? )
Thanks everyone :3
