i am currently building a new pc and I have decided on the following specs:
* i will be gaming, doing multimedia stuff, programming, editing videos, and will most likely use it more than 12 hours a day.
CPU: i7-4790
MoBo: h97 pro gamer
Storage: 850 evo 250 gb and 1tb caviar green
Ram: 8gb 1600mhz corsair single
gpu: gtx 970
case: cougar army
my problem is with the PSU as I am in a tight budget but also want to have a quality build.
If i take the ax650 (which is recommended based on the reviews) I would have to downgrade the cpu to i5-4690; on the other hand, if i take the rm/cs versions I could still go on with the i7 but as I had read bad PSUs can damage the components and the rm/cs version are mediocre ones.
what do you recommend me to take?
*i'm not overclocking as my cpu is not a k version
do i need a UPS? or can I just plug it directly to a socket?
thank you, have a nice day
another question, can I still downgrade any of my components to save money without realizing significant performance decrease?
