Hello friends I just ordered a new evga 600w bq psu from amazon. I wanted to know if it would be enough to power a i5 7600 and a gtx 1060 3gb. I currently have a thermaltake smart 550w and an fx6300 + gtx 1060 3gb. Also will I see I big performance increase going from fx6300 to i5 7600? would the 600w psu be able to power a 7700 non k and 1070 eventually? I dont have enough for the i7 yet. I already ordered the psu thinking it would be enough.

Well.. Power Supply would be enough for ur rig. And you'll definitely see increase in performance. You're getting i5 in?? Cost?

I found a i5 7600k for 214 bucks but havent bought it yet may get i5 7600 for the time being since i dont plan to overclock and like the lower TDP of 65 watts I can get the 7600 non k for around 204 both new prices

By mid June I should have all here the new psu along with new cpu ram mobo etc

JyotirmayGoldsmith · Apr 11, 2017

you need to buy mobo also... I would suggest you buy this https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Cooler-YD1700BBAEBOX/dp/B06WP5YCX6/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1491890051&sr=1-1&keywords=ryzen+5

Thats good but costs 100$ more than i5........

The PSU you currently have is actually better than the one you ordered tbh.
What's your budget?
I'll make a list for you, the i5 7500 is the best value in your case.

JyotirmayGoldsmith · Apr 11, 2017

You can go for Ryzen 5 1600

or even i5 7600k is good. remember you have to buy MotherBoard and DDR4 ram too.

Chugalug_ :

How is it better? So you say the 600w evga bq will not be enough for a single 1070 and i57600 non k or i7700 non k?

Edit: My bad, the lower wattage ones are made by Andyson, they're decent, not fantastic though.
They're somewhat better than the higher capacity units, and better than the Thermaltake, but again, not fantastic.

Thank you so much for your prompt answers. it does have a 3 year warranty and I plan to use the psu for no more than 1 year! also I plan to not OC either of the components will I be fine? you have scared me! I compared the amperage and wattage on both and it seemed better, I also read a review of the unit online What do you think? I selected it for its modularity since im going with a micro atx build.

Chugalug_ · Apr 11, 2017

You're perfectly fine, nothing to worry about.
Give me a budget and i'll make you a list before I go off for the night in 5 mins.

Man ryzen 5 has just been released now I dont know what to do :O
I already have gpu and ssd, monitor etc. psu... I need mobo,ram, cpu, thats it I have around 350

Ryzen 5 isn't great for gaming, more just raw compute performance.
What case do you have?
ATX? mATX?
If you have an ATX case, swap the mobo for this: http://pcpartpicker.com/product/FzGj4D/asrock-b250-pro4-atx-lga1151-motherboard-b250-pro4
