First Gaming Build

[Kalk]

For my new build I bought this

For the longest time I have been using a very crappy computer. It can barely run anything (If you want my current specs ask). I have already bought these things. I don't plan on doing next gen gaming. But some of the games I plan on playing are Dayz Mod, Battlefield 3, Gmod, and the Dayz Standalone. But the main games I will mainly play is the Dayz Mod and Battlefield 3. I really want to know that with the products I bought, how much FPS I should expect. I have been stuck in the world of 800x600 windowed mode and 20fps for most of my PC gaming life. I am new to computers. I will most likely not buy anything else because I already spent my entire budget on this. I would like to know what to expect when I put everything together.

You can expect it to blow up with a Diablotek PSU... Weak motherboard. Not much RAM. You should have saved up some more money... That's hardly a gaming machine.

Honestly don't use that PSU, on your tight budget get the evga 500B or if you can stretch to the extra money an XFX 550w. An extra 4gb of ram will be really nice now or in the future. Make sure the extra ram is EXACTLY the same make, model, voltage, timings, speed.

Could you go in more detail of what would happen if I kept that PSU?

Here, just read this. Diablotek will blow up and it will probably kill the rest of your components.

It will almost certainly break down spectacularly within an unspecified length of time. It may involve fire, smoke, popping sounds and/or sparks. It will also probably ruin at least one of your other components like your motherboard or GPU. It will also never supply its rated power and probably can't even manage the mid-range GPU you chose.

Here are some reviews of other Diablotek units

They are not good.

Are you for sure that will work inside my computer? I don't want to buy it and something dosent work right.

My friend, compared to the steaming pile of junk they sold you with the combo deal it will work beautifully! I've checked your case, motherboard and graphics card and it's all compatible.

Next time you build yourself a PC post the links on here before you press the "buy" button as we're always happy to help and advise

Your the best, Thank you so much!

No problem, I hope your new PC brings you many years of gaming pleasure (with the occasional upgrade along the way of course )

ATX is the standard size for power supplies and the EVGA 600B is decent for the price. You could also get a Corsair CX430 as you will not need 600W of power.

 

[plywrlw]

The CX430's build quality and reliability are far more questionable than the EVGA. The CX430's tend to like to take out other components when they go. Having a 600W allows him more upgrade options in the future.

 

[Blaise170]

Both use Capxon for the primary side. EVGA has Teapo and Corsair has Samxon for the secondary side capacitors. Otherwise they are almost functionally identical.

 

[plywrlw]

Yep but when you try and judge from user reviews the evga comes out on top.
