PC Build Confirmation

Solution
Look pretty good, but I'll leave the PSU to someone else with more knowledge. Not sure on the BeQuiet line of PSU's and you could probably get something better, but again, not my area of expertise.

what makes a power supply better?
 


Build quality. Good PSU's use good quality capacitors and they are the backbone of a good PSU. Also, how they split the power among the different rails, or cables coming off. Just because a PSU may have 15 molex plugs and 6 PCIe plugs for GPU's, if they all come off the same spot inside the motherboard, it's bad. They are all being drawn from the same source. A good PSU will have say 5 molex's soldered to one spot, 5 more to another, etc and each of those groups of 5 are supplied from their own source, not just 1 power output and 4534543 wires soldered to it.

A good PSU is the backbone to a PC and it's like a good engine in a car. You can buy all the fancy power locks and auto this and that and all the bells and whistles, but if the engine is crap, the car just won't go and all your fancy addons don't do any good when the car is sitting in the driveway.

Oh, and a bad can catch fire. For real. lol.

haha damn! xD do you think the XFX TS Series 550W Power Supply is better?

 


Way better. As said, it's made by Seasonic and they are a Tier 1 (top of the line) maker who use good components.
