Hello, i'm about to build a pc for the first time. It is a budget gaming build and i'm not sure whether
to get the CX500 psu or the XFX450. On this forum people say stuff like it will blow up and crap but i'm not convinced as there's excellent reviews elsewhere. I don't plan on hugely upgrading. (Possible OC and a new fan, in the future)
SO please please please tell me what I should get and why. I'm leaning towards the CX because it provides a lot of watts and Corsair is well known. ( Also Cheaper ).
So Here is my specs!
CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor (£77.95 @ Amazon UK)
Motherboard: Asus M5A97 R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard (£59.17 @ Amazon UK)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory (£58.45 @ Amazon UK)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£40.31 @ Amazon UK)
Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 660 2GB Video Card (£147.81 @ Ebuyer)
Case: Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case (£44.99 @ Amazon UK)
Power Supply: Corsair CX 500W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply (£46.26 @ Amazon UK)
Optical Drive: Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer
THANKS IN ADVANCE PLEASE ANSWER, I WILL CHOOSE AN ANSWER I SWEAR!!!
