Should I change this PSU before building my PC ?

Oktas · Nov 24, 2014

Hey, currently I am finishing buying my pc parts (i7-4790k + GTX 970 as main parts), and I wonder if I should sell my Corsair CX600M psu and buy something better ? I got it fast on sale, but after reading this forum, looks like I did a mistake by buying tier 3 PSU for that build.
I am willing to sell it and buy EVGA Supernova G2 750W just to avoid risk(it's more expensive for sure), but I am not sure if there is any risk.
What do you recommend guys ?

I presume you're gonna over clock that CPU? Corsair does not recommend CX series for over clocked systems. The risk of a system failure is low, but the risk of that PSU holding back stability with your over clock is not so low

That PSU is not meant to be used in an OCing build, which you obviously will. So yes it's not the right one quality wise. And, as for the new PSU, your current choice is solid, but I'd get this, it's an awesome value/money while being great quality wise:

Thank you guys, I understood the idea that it's high risk to OC my build with this PSU. I would get suggested Rosewill psu , but I am going to get Supernova G2 anyway since I can't buy from newegg.com or amazon.com right now(maybe I will wait).

I'm not sure of your location, but if you live in the states, then Rosewill Capstone or G2/ B2 (really not much difference other than efficiency, if ever you want to run your system 24/7, go with G2) or XFX 750W are some good value units.
