The CX series uses cheap secondary capacitors which degrade over time and even faster when they run hot. I have used 5 CX series psus 4 out of 5 failed around the 1 yr mark and I replaced the 5th before it could fail.

From Asus website:
power consumption : up to 225W2 additional 6 pin PCIe power required
600 w is way above the minimum. It's a good idea though to get a higher PSU for upgrades later on and oc-ing
 


Oh wow, I didn't know that. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.
