I need a cheap computer that can run games like minecraft and CSGO with no lag and at medium settings.

My console broke again and i decided to buy a pc instead of getting another one. Money is an issue as i am not 18 yet and cant get a high paying job.

How much money do you have to work with? Can you sell your current computer?

Can max out both games

I would not go with the CX430. Swap it for an Antec VP-450.

Shamar Holtz · May 18, 2015

But the CX430 is a great budget PSU for real

tiny voices · May 18, 2015

Not really, it is a CWT unit with poor quality capacitors. The CX units are not very good and not recommended.

Shamar Holtz · May 19, 2015

Sure, I must be lucky huh? Mine works fine and I had it for about 6 months with no issues yet, but it's whatever. If I talk to much you'll ban me...Get this PSU instead OP http://pcpartpicker.com/part/antec-power-supply-vp450

tiny voices · May 19, 2015

What are you talking about, I'll ban you?

I won't do anything of the sort. It is just a fact that the CX units are poor quality. They are made with junk capacitors and fail much easier than other units when warm.

Are there worse PSUs, for sure. But are there much better units for not much more money? Definitely.

Shamar Holtz · May 19, 2015

I was just joking about you banning me XD

I know the CX series is shitty. You are/were right.
