i5, 970, Silent Base 800 - Build Compatible?

dogmaster78 · Nov 27, 2015

Hi guys,

If anyone could provide any feedback on my build then that'd be great

Basically just a few questions..

- Am I allg with that power supply?
- Is there any issues with this SSD and my graphics card? Say clearance or lack of PCI-E slots?
- Any thing I should be aware off before buying?

Just so you know this is from au.pcpartpicker.com and all prices are AUD

Cheers,
Toby

Seems fine to me, though I don't know your intentions with this build I'd say you could save money in areas.

Yeah i like gaming and getting into programming etc so yeah..
I know i can cut down a lot on the SSD, where else were you thinking?

look towards Samsung SSDs, they have a standard DOA rate but none compare to them right now. Plus they are on sale at newegg.

it is not fine please change your PSU the CX series are not made for gaming! look for any PSU made by the brand XFX or you could get an EVGA b2/g2 series PSU. apart from that your build is very solid for general gaming.

does it matter than the psu isnt made for gaming?

Yes it dose matter, a low quality PSU like the Corsair CX 600W could cause series damage to the other high quality parts in your computer, ive known low quality PSU's to totally destroy high end GPU's and motherboard before now, but this is your own risk I can only try to give you a warning.

Okay,

Thanks for responding helps a lot, I did some research towards b2/g2 power supplies as you suggested but cannot find a good 500w. Should I invest in a higher power supply, there was a 750w for around the same price, with 80 plus bronze, or could you please link me to a good 500-600w supply

Thanks

Thanks

the EVGA 650W G2 is usually about the same price as the 550W but it will just give you a bit more overhead, search for the EVGA 650W G2 and you will be fine.
