PC BUILD HELP: Is this PC going to work well ?

roaldsUnbox · Jul 17, 2015

I planning to buy a new PC build, and this is my components;

MSI GTX 970 4gb Gaming edition

ASUS Z97-K 5TH GEN

Core i5-4690K 3.5Ghz 4th Gen Haswell Refresh

8GB(2x4GB) G.Skill RIpjawsX RED DDR3 1866 CL9

Corsair TX650M PSU

Is there any problem ? is it going to bottleneck my GPU or CPU ? or does it have power consumption sufficiency?? please help me..

You're power supply is my biggest concern. I recommend picking a tier -1 or tier -2 power supply from this list. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

JQB45 :

why? and also, many people always say to me to change my PSU. but why ?

They have a poor reputation when it comes to power supplies. They use cheap parts and they fail often, sometimes destroying other parts of your computer.

The Corsair TX series is a good series. No worries there. Just because one list doesn't include it, doesn't mean it's a bad PSU. The only possible negative, which is an opinion, is that it isn't semi or fully modular.

A list much older than Tom's and it's a tier 2:

Edit: I will say it is an older power supply...

Corsair RM SERIES RM750 80+ GOLD FULL MODULAR , how about this one? is it okay for me and for changing that tx650m?

Wisecracker · Jul 17, 2015

The Corsair TX650M is modular and should work just dandy --- backed by a 5-yr warranty.

For what is 5 components approaching the $900 range you could likely do better --- and you have not yet snagged any cooling to pump up that 'K' processor.

That mobo seems to be of questionable repute on the Egg ...

Wisecracker :

so should I change my tx650m to Corsair RM SERIES RM750 80+ GOLD FULL MODULAR ?

AdriansNetwork · Jul 17, 2015

The performance will definitely not be an issue. For the PSU, I recommend the EVGA Supernova G2 750W. It has extremely good guality and 10 year warranty. All safety features are included and its very quiet as the fan stops spinning under 40C. Has very high efficiency rating and overall, the best 750W PSU you can buy. Its pretty priceworthy and the extra 100 watts will give you future possibilities to have SLI etc...

What are you looking to spend on a PSU? There's a lot of options out there.

barto :

no, i mean, do i need to ? or just going to stay to tx650m, im just making sure that im using a good psu and may not harm on my components, im getting paranoid of what other people say, so..

roaldsUnbox :

So my question is, how are you buying the TX650M new? TX series has been discontinued and the TX-Ms were discontinued before that. If you have it and you purchased it recently new that's cool. It's not going to be a bad decision. The TX-M were decent power supplies.

The RM series is kind of meh. They have some cheaper internal components that people don't like.
