Gaming PC PSU help!?

Todd11es · Jun 23, 2014

Hey guys. I'm building a gaming PC very soon, and I was wondering which PSU I should choose.

Firstly, here's the build: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/dCVPgs

I'm wondering whether or not I should stick with the 750w, or go down to 650w, of the same corsair RM series.

What do you guys think?

Any constructive criticism is really appreciated

Thanks for your time guys, and take care.

The corsair RM series is decent, but not reliable enough to power a high end rig. I would recommend this, a bit expenbsive but quality stuff http://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-ssr550rm
however if you want 750w for sli configurations, this is my personal favourite http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Seasonic/X-750/11.html
also, for gaming you dont need 16gb of ram, just 2x4gb will do the job fine...also, as for your case the corsair 200r, if you wait a bit NZXT has a newer phantom case coming out soon (it may already be out but not listed on pcpartpicker), i cant remember the exact name of it, but the case if very very nice with even a window, ill post back if i remember the name...one more thing, instead of getting a soundcard, get a DAC/ AMP combo, it'll serve you alot better, trust me

EDIT: yeah one more thing, your motherboard is Z87, its outdated, heres the exact same board with a newer Z97 chipset http://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/asrock-motherboard-z97extreme6

yep, the newer case is the phantom 240 http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/146-p240-phantom-mid-tower
