Well hello there, so recently i have see some "bad" review about CX600, I have my rig with it for about 4-5 years old, and it's still run fine though. But, i have plan to build a new simple pc for my dad (i have an abandoned i3-3220)
Here is my rig :
i5-3570k
GA-Z77X-D3H
Zotac GTX650 1GB
4GB XMS3 Corsair (planning to upgrade it to Vengeance pro 8GB 1866c9)
1TB WDC Blue
CX600 installed
and for my new build :
i3-3220
GA-H61M-DS2 (it's hard to find brand new-1155 board these day :lol
500GB WDC Blue (or green maybe ? my father isn't a hardcore gamer though)
4gb xms3 from my old rig
psu = ?
So, my questions is :
1. Which one better, should i upgrade my CX600 to another PSU ? and put the CX600 on my i3-3220 ? OR i stay with CX600 and buy the VS450 for the i3-3220
2. My dad only use computer for office thing so i guess WD green should be enough,or should i stick with the blue one ?
3. and for my rig, yeah it's quite old build, but i'm not planning to change it for next 3-4 years, but, is it better to buy a 256GB ssd or 1TB WDC Black ? since i used my rig only for 3d animating (solidworks, autocad) and a little gaming (dota2, skyrim, grid, etc), even, i play a lot on my notebook.
Things that matter for me is, as what i knew, PSU is essential in building PC, so i guess upgrading mine to a good one isn't a bad news, maybe i will buy a new rig in near future (about 3-4 years from now though :lol: ). But i will listen to your answer and considerate it.
and my budget for new psu is about USD130
Thanks guys.
