http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811163253
idk if thats a good idea and keep everything the same but now i realise theres no psu so what now?

i7Baby · Jun 17, 2014

Buy a psu.

thormunz · Jun 17, 2014

i7Baby :

i expected that XD but the thing is i dont know which one!!!

i7Baby · Jun 17, 2014

For a pc with a gtx750ti in it you need a power supply with at least 20A on a 12V rail and 400W in total.

Get a good quality one per - http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html

eg Seasonic 520, XFX 550 or Antec HCG 520M

i7Baby :

im sorry can i get link to the psu

i7Baby · Jun 17, 2014

From where - newegg, PCCG, Novatech. PC Compnnets, Microcenter?

thormunz · Jun 17, 2014

i7Baby :

anywhere well whoever offers the lowest price

i7Baby · Jun 17, 2014

Here's one of them at Newegg - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371058&cm_re=antec_hcg_520m-_-17-371-058-_-Product

You need to spend time price searching.

thormunz · Jun 17, 2014

i7Baby :

to be honest this will be my first pc build so im really new to this i also want to keep this thread alive for quite a while and for the core should i keep the core or should i get a MD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera 8-Core

i7Baby · Jun 17, 2014

You haven't posted your build so I don't know.

thormunz · Jun 17, 2014

i7Baby :

i7Baby · Jun 17, 2014

That's all that show up - just Intel.

So have you got a total budget?

Can you list what you've got in mind with price?

And then I'll help fill in the rest

thormunz · Jun 17, 2014

i7Baby :

ok honestly idk what to say at the moment but i really want that
GeForce GTX 750 Ti Superclocked $153
AMD FX-8350 Black Edition core $179
price range less than 550 ish
pretty much now im just bulding a desktop and not a itx anymore so what would be next?

thormunz · Jun 17, 2014

would this be a good motherboard?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128514

pauls3743 · Jun 17, 2014

The Silverstone SG05 comes with a sfx (small form factor) power supply, make sure you get 450W one. A standard ATX power supply is too big for it.

EDIT: I missed that you changed the case to a SG08, this comes with a 600W power supply, which is more than powerful enough for any ITX system. Also, uATX and ATX motherboard are too big for this case, you really need to be looking at mini-ITX motherboards which only provide a single expansion slot.

i7Baby · Jun 17, 2014

Yep - any 990fx chipset mobo goes good with the 8350

You'll also need a power supply eg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371058&cm_re=anetc_hcg_520m-_-17-371-058-_-Product ($80)

And a case eg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139018&cm_re=corsair_200r-_-11-139-018-_-Product ($60)

and RAM eg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231455&cm_re=GSkill_8gb-_-20-231-455-_-Product ($80)

thormunz · Jun 17, 2014

i7Baby :

$520 wow plus tax and then all ill need will be a hard drive! and ill be set and well i wanna keep this thread alive incase if i have more question ill come back to it but thanks for helping me to choose u have no idea how much you helped me

i7Baby · Jun 17, 2014

No worries. I'll leave it tracked

thormunz · Jun 19, 2014

i7Baby :

Sorry to bug but would this be a better psu?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182278

i7Baby · Jun 19, 2014

No

See - http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html

See the Antec is in Tier 2A. The Rosewill Stallion isn't meantioned and so it's Tier 5 - replace immediately. And all you're doing is saving $15.

None of the Stallions are certified.

thormunz · Jun 19, 2014

i7Baby :

ohh ok i see ill stick to the one u said thanks

also is the graphics card ok? :/ im starting to have my doubts

i7Baby · Jun 19, 2014

Yep -f that's waht you can afford.

Have a look at - http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html

gives performance and prices

thormunz · Jun 19, 2014

i7Baby :

is there anything much better for the same price or maybe 10-20ish dollars more or should i just stick to ghx 750

i7Baby · Jun 19, 2014

It shows R9 270 for $160 - that OK?

thormunz · Jun 19, 2014

i7Baby :

yessss!!! would i have to change anything like psu?

i want to build a GeForce GTX 750 Ti Mini ITX with a few modifications! be prepared iim going to ask a lot of questions!
