Hey there!
I am planning to build up a budget gaming rig, with these components in mind:
Motherboard: MSI Z170 G43 PLUS
CPU: Intel core i3-6100
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX950
SSD: OCZ Trion 150 series 480GB
RAM: ADATA 8 GB KIT DDR4 3000MHz CL16
I would like some help/advice about the choice of a good quality budget PSU, at about 500W+ to make some room for future improvements. This is just a basic build where I intend to upgrade the CPU and GPU when a good deal comes up (pascal etc.).
I've done hours of research to settle down for these components, so albeit I appreciate your advice to swap any of these for something else, I'm pretty much decided to go with these, but feel free to enlighten me with something I might not know, or is a better deal.
I'm providing you a site where I would like you to choose the PSU, as I live in Slovakia and shipping is not thoroughly available or a viable option at all, so please stick with this site, even when advising a different component than those I've already chosen. Feel free to use the Brands & Specifications Filter to find the wanted characteristics fast. The price should be less than 100€ (114$ USD), ideally around somewhat more than half that price.
Power supplies
My first pick was the Zalman ZM500 GSII, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the best bang for the buck out of these. I'm also not yet entirely decided for a case, if you wouldn't mind checking that out as well. I'd like to have a transparent sidewall, cable management and good materials used as well. Basically, the best budget option available at the site. The price range for it should be at about 50-80€. Cases
Also, I'm hesitant about the choice of the GPU manufacturer, would prefer a lesser price but I guess at least the dual fans. Quiet performance would be the best. Was going to go for ASUS Strix but if there is something as good as that but cheaper, that would be the way to go. GPU's
Good luck and thank you very much guys! ;-)
