And this is what im missing

As you can all see i have no psu. I have learned that the psu is really important but as a student a have a tight budget and my parents cant give me that much money. So i need a psu that will power this pc. I don't need the psu to be future proof. Because i wont have the money to add more parts to this pc ;D. What i need from you guys is a PSU that is cheap and reliable, and will power this pc.

I will be doing A lot of Photoshop (i will get more ram eventually ) and C4D that's cinema 4D.

And i also want to be able to play any game maxed out 1080p(or more) 60fps (probably not Crysis 2 and 3)

I will be probably replacing the hyper 212+ with a Cooler Master Seidon 120V
(i will sell the 212 to a friend of mine)


Please leave suggestions on changing out parts and the psu to buy :bounce:

Thank you :) !

I would suggest getting a 128gb sdd instead of a 250gb one as you can save significantly from that and allocate what you saved and invest in a quality PSU, preferably 750 watts at least bronze plus certified.
With a system like yours, power delivery is very important. Try something a corsair or seasonic PSU.

you got money for the parts but not for a quality psu to power them reliably ??


Choosing the right PSU is an important decision for the enthusiast because it is the backbone of any system. Buying an inferior, no-frills unit brings with it many consequences – some of which can be catastrophic. I’ve personally read of many stories of various individuals who have been strapped for cash and gone down this route, these cheaper units can often blow and when they do, they will take everything with it. So you may think spending all of your money on the core components like CPU, GPU, motherboard and then very little on the PSU is a good thing – this may change when it goes up in smoke

I think you got this the wrong way i said What i need from you guys is a PSU that is cheap and reliable
I didn't mean a 20-30 dollar psu that will fry my parts by cheap i meant affordable not the top of the line stuff. And most importantly reliable.
I know these parts are ''expensive'' to some people and also me im not trying to cheap out on the power supply im just trying to get help from people that have done this for years.
I need the best bang for the buck psu that will power my system :)

Thank you for your answer :) I really appreciate it. I already got the SSD but i got it for almost free from a friends dad who works with computers. Yes i've heard that corsair and seasonic are the ones to look for, and is 750w enough or should i go higher

I just noticed that i have added the Fx 8350 as the cpu but i might be getting the fx 9370 (its 30 euros more) and i can save a bit for that and for a better psu :)
