Hey folks,

2) This isn't a high quality PSU. But is it enough? (PS: I have a huge fan which blows tons of air into my case)

4) Will i have any problems running this PC?

Niels De Clercq :

1, No, but the 4690K is way better
2, Corsair VS PSUs are made with low-quality parts. Get a different unit by Antec, EVGA, Seasonic, XFX, etc.
3, I never played BF4, I'd say 40-60. LoL depends on your internet connection.
4, No, everything is good to go!

1. No.The 4460 wouldn't bottleneck a GTX 780 in 99.99% of the cases,so you're good to go.
2. Any Tier 1,Tier 2 Class A or Class B will do the job.

Also,make sure it's at least 650W.
3.LoL: A lot. 70+ FPS at least at the highest settings possible.
BF4: Ultra @ 50+ FPS.
4. No.
Don't forget to buy an OS.

All the best.

Thanks for the quick response

Is the 4460 good enough? (i know the 4690k is better...)
Will i have any trouble with the corsaire? (and do you mean the capxon capacitors with "parts"?)

Yes,the 4460 is good enough.
You might have problems,but why risk it with such a high-end gaming build?
It would be safer to get a higher quality PSU.

1, yes, it's good

2, I honestly don't have any idea. Probably? A LOT and by that, I mean A LOT of experts in the TH community say so... I guess that's parts in general.

LukaBoki · Aug 30, 2014

Just get a better quality PSU and that's it.The build looks awesome.

Niels De Clercq · Aug 30, 2014

LukaBoki :

I have a tier 3 PSU :s Is this bad?

LukaBoki · Aug 30, 2014

It's good enough,but I wouldn't risk it with such a high-end gaming build,as stated above.
650W is overkill,I'm so stupid. A quality 550W PSU will do just fine. XFX Core 550W is a great one.

zeyuanfu · Aug 30, 2014

Niels De Clercq :

I wouldn't like to be rude, but it's kinda bad

If you would like to replace your PSU, I would suggest the EVGA SuperNOVA 750 B2.

zeyuanfu · Aug 30, 2014

LukaBoki :

Not if OP runs SLI/Crossfire/a high-end AMD card such as the 270X. The 270X needs at least 750 watts.

750W is way too much.A 550W quality PSU is just enough,but not suitable for upgrades.

Read my last post?
BTW you can get the 750 B2 for just a few bucks more than the XFX 550 watt unit you posted.

LukaBoki · Aug 30, 2014

zeyuanfu :

Are you insane? 750W?
750W is too much even for a GTX 780 Ti. Or an R9 290X.

Niels De Clercq · Aug 30, 2014

LukaBoki :

Why exactly is it a risk?

LukaBoki · Aug 30, 2014

Niels De Clercq :

Those bad capacitors can't handle higher loads. Basically,if you play games for 1 or more hours,you risk overloading the capacitors,killing them and damaging the GPU and the same time.

The guy above me is right. 750W is overkill. This amount is required for 2 high end cards.

And what if i have 3 fans to keep it cool?

LukaBoki · Aug 30, 2014

To simplify what we've said:
The build is great.The PSU is bad.550W is enough for a GTX 770.XFX Core 550W is a great option.

zeyuanfu · Aug 30, 2014

It never hurts to be on the safe side...

That may help.
But 10/10 people on this forum that know something about PSUs will check the list that I've given you and tell you that the VS650 isn't the best option.

zeyuanfu · Aug 30, 2014

LukaBoki :

The B2 is made by Super Flower, which is a great OEM. And you can only overload the capacitors if you put too much load on them. You can't put too much load on a capacitor if you only play games for an hour...

LukaBoki · Aug 30, 2014

@ OP
Get either the Supernova B2 750W or the XFX Core 550W.
Note that 750W is overkill for ANY single card and even some SLI/Crossfire configs.

zeyuanfu · Aug 30, 2014

LukaBoki :

Having more power than necessary is better than not having enough power and getting a new PSU.
