I'm building my first gaming rig and just want to check there is nothing wrong with it for overclocking and gaming. I will only be going for a mild overclock and am not experienced so if someone knows what I could get on this system it would be appreciated.

Get this power supply and you will be fine for a future gpu upgrade to your pc.

I appreciate your answer but don't see myself running cards in crossfire at any time near so would prefer a 80+ gold 650w rather than a 80+ bronze 750w

I meant that i feel the quality build of the EVGA 750 B2 is better than the Corsair CSM650

Suztera :

Oh surely a gold is better quality than a bronze though?

I prefer this man [link]

Never ever get a EVGA SuperNVOA B series. G series are the best and they compete with the highest brand of Seasonic.

Lou_Dollaz :

That rating is only the efficiency of converting AC to DC power. It doesn't directly relate to quality parts used inside.

Suztera :

Even if it's just the rating, I don't recommend him getting SuperNOVA B series. I've had one and RMA'd it 4 times because of coil whine and the fan is loud. The G series are amazing though!

The B2 is a recent release that uses Super Flower OEM which is good amongst Seasonic. They fix previous issues with the old B series.

I may possible be able to scrounge a bit more money out of my brother and pay him back and if this is the case is an rm series from corsair good enough quality?

Lou_Dollaz :

Corsair RM is ok but could be better. My RM 650 does run warmer than i expected. I can feel the heat on the outer casing when i put my hand on it. I would advise you not to get it really.
