The CX 430 V2 is a decent PSU, but you may find it to be a little small for a gaming PC in which you may wish to have a powerful (and power-hungry) graphics card. I'd probably go with build #2, but use build #1's mobo and put some of the extra money into a larger PSU, such as the CX 500 or 600.

Maybe this is ok ? http://www.csv-direct.de/artinfo.php?artnr=A2800471&pva=geizhals&data=ho0Dvu5C0KtHX2CcphVPZErW81MkruQp5eqr4ZDHFl20i%2BwpgCVL6ml%2BDRY5X1XMYaDNzGrVUQ0laYqbyJ%2Bbp1LvfB7MyelBc00x9aNhijkaQjaUKNqyXF7uYWF3XS7x

XFX 650 W 68 Euro and the 750 W is 78 Euro

Also I3 2120 is on sale for 100 Euro

And if i get a better PSU must get a cheaper mobo ? Any suggestion ?

Edit : Btw i want buy any high end GPU max lets say GTX 560 /650 Hd 6850/70

http://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/info/p791474/pid/geizhals And is this mobo future proof ?

You may snag an AMD 880G/SB850 AM3+ motherboard with IGP if you want to save up for a video card.

The HD7850 looks to be around 210 euros -- that should handle your needs for quite some time.

 

[Onus]

XFX is Seasonic-built, so yes the 650W would be good. If you use Build #2 but Build #1's mobo, the money you save on the less expensive mobo will pay for that PSU.

I just want a future proof build and i will stay just 1 month w/o GPU so thats a small problem

I edited my last post while u were replying Take a look

@ JTT283 Ye XFX is a nice PSU but 650 is enough ?

 

[prototype18]

I think i found a "Mid Way"

I5-2400 167 Euro
G.Skill 2x2GB 1600 MHZ 26 Euro
Nzxt 210 35 Euro
XFX 550W 54 Euro
Asrock Extreme3 Gen3 101 Euro

Total = 383 Euro or 530 $

How is this one ???

 

[Onus]

That looks nice. With modern graphics cards actually using less power, a quality 550W PSU should be enough for almost any single card, with the possible exception of a couple really high-end or dual-GPU models. You could put a HD7870 or GTX670 in that without a problem.

 

[Wisecracker]

The question is always your video card in a gaming rig. Typically, you work your way backward from there.

The HD7850 looks to be your sweet spot at 210 euros (the 560ti is roughly in the same range if nVidia is your thing). There are HD7950s at the 300-range. GTX 670s (and a HD7970 or 2) start around 370 euros.

Both Intel and AMD make good stuff. Work the CPU/Mobo combo that helps you meet your video card goal.

Good luck and enjoy!

Thank's both of you !

Anyways i changed the config :

I3-2120 102 Euro
G.Skill 2x2GB 1600 MHZ 26 Euro
Nzxt 210 35 Euro
XFX 550W 54 Euro
Asrock Extreme3 Gen3 VS ASRock Z77 Extreme4 (i dont know what to choose bettwen those 2 ,price differcene is aprox 20 Euro )
HD 6850 (i found this one for 50 Euro , a pc store was selling it )

I lowered the CPU to get a GPU now

 

[Wisecracker]

In most cases you will notice little difference between the CPUs.

Great choice on the HD6850 at that price -- as far as your mobo, a second HD6850 in *crossfire* might be an option.
