I plan on getting a new gpu to replace a gtx 750 ti 2gb i had for about half a year. Im saving up to buy an rx 480 4gb by sapphire nitro when the Vega comes out and prices drop a little. Im currently using a cheap(not considered from where i come from) 600w psu by Aerocool KCAS : http://www.aerocool.com.tw/en/psu/kcas/kcas-600w http://goocart.com/aerocool-kcas-600w-and-700w-80-plus-bronze-power-supply-4713105953299/
Is it at leat a reliable psu for intermediate gaming use? Im not planning on overclocking anything until i will buy a more higher quality unit.

My specs:

Cpu: amd fx-4350 quad core black edition

Gpu: MSI Gtx 750 ti small form factor

Memory: 8gb kingston hyperx fury1600 single channel

Mobo: asus m5a78-m lx3

Psu: Aerocool KCAS 600w 80+ bronze

Storage: WD Blue 1tb 7200rpm

Display: acer 1920x1080p (vga)



This is my fisrt thread, please be nice to me

aerocool unit, i would not trust it to run a toaster


your cpu is not good enough for a 480, and your motherboard is poor so you wont be able to overclock much if at all


save the money towards a new build

could you recomend a psu brand that makes them reasonably priced and more reliable than this one ?
and is my Motherboard something to worry about ? am3 socket motherboards are hard to come by from where i come from because they favor to sell intel board more. im not really a fan of hyperthreading
