Cpu is good.

Cpu cooler: https://www.alternate.co.uk/Cryorig/H7/html/product/1174912
That one will have better cooling at the same price.

Motherboard: You should get a Z170 board so you can overclock. If you don't want to overclock, then don't get the 6600k and a custom cooler, and instead get the 6500, and use the stock cooler on that.

Storage: perfectly fine

Video Card: As others have said, replace it will the RX 480.

PSU: Swapped it out for a slightly better psu,

CPU

Mother Board

GPU

8GB of RAM

1TB HDD for way more storage space then a console. You could drop the storage space to match a console and save a bit of money, but we won't do that.

PSU Cheaper/lower wattage for this build is possible, but it's better not to skimp

Disk drives are dying out and everything is going digital. Even consoles are showing massive growth in direct game purchases and downloads from PSN/XBL. But here it is if you want one.

Here's a few cases 1 2 3 4. Pick your case based on style, USB ports, whatever. All of those are 30 dollars or less and are mATX, meaning smaller form factor.

So now peripherals. Need a monitor? No you don't, plug it in to your TV. HDMI just like a console and consoles don't come with displays. You might have a monitor already.
Controller/input devices? PCs can use the old controllers you have laying around. Here's a keyboard and mouse recommendation anyway if you want one or don't already own them since most people own a computer for stuff outside gaming. That costs around half the price of an OEM console controller and KB+M is a more accurate input method. Controllers are a comfort thing and are best suited for driving games, but point and click with a high DPI sensor is much more intuitive and accurate than a controller with bad input filtering and clunky auto aim. Microsoft tried cross platform and keyboard and mouse destroyed gamepad/controller players. The only real cross platform right now is Rocket League because controllers are the better input method for driving so it's equal footing. But if you're playing Rocket League on PC, you load in faster. You'll be sitting on an empty field while you wait for other players to connect before the countdown and stuff starts, kinda neat. Also, that one I recommended has a button to change DPI/sensitivity on the fly, no need to bother with settings menus. Seamlessly go from sniping to roaming to driving. The keyboard is back lit and has a few color options.

Operating system? GNU/Linux is free and is getting more and more gaming support every day. It's not as hard as people make it out to be. Get a basic/user friendly distro like Ubuntu and all you really have to do is install. If you're a masochist, a developer, or a masochistic developer get a tougher distro like Gentoo. Funny thing as well, games with Linux support run better on Linux since it's such a great operating system on the software level. SteamOS is also free. Want Windows? Download the OS and put it on a disk or flash drive, install it on the new computer and enter the product key. Where do you get a product key? Don't buy it from a big box retail store for 100 bucks or likely more, you're getting gypped. You can buy 100% legit product keys online. r/microsoftsoftwareswap sells them for 20-25$ and the keys are straight from Microsoft

Also, all of those listings are from Amazon and are Amazon Prime eligible (for the other guy that replied to you that wants to complain about rebates/shipping/living next to a MicroCenter). You can find a lot of those parts cheaper and/or with free shipping. I recommend NewEgg. So you can do even better than the price I'm about to give you (which also means you can get better hardware for better performance):

Here's the itemized list with the prices: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/QBVRNG

$448.51 total for a PC that is massively better than current gen consoles. Drop the unnecessary DVD drive and the keyboard+mouse combo and the PC itself comes in at $402.93.

So... brand new parts from a large online retailer with a great support system. You can get even better deals on the parts if you checked other great online retailers like NewEgg. Ten years ago consoles absolutely made sense, but now leaps in hardware design have made better hardware cheaper and the tables have turned.

Does that "come close without cheating"?

Here's a few more kickers now that we have the hard price set:

AMD and Nvidia are about to launch a new line of GPUs, meaning current prices will drop (better performance at lower cost on that build I just gave you) and AMD is specifically focusing on lower/mid range market with higher performance and efficiency. It's going to be great for mainstream gaming rigs.

PC gaming is usually cheaper over time because Intel/Nvida/AMD don't charge development fees (they can't), neither can EVGA/ASUS or whoever makes the parts, neither can Microsoft. Steam takes a cut, but so do stores like GameStop. Stuff like that is why Steam can have massive sales consoles can only dream of and the developers can still profit from a sale. The only reason PC games are 60 dollars like their console equivalents is because it's the standard and they can "get away with it" (especially if you're Microsoft trying to expand Windows 10 and not alienate XBox), but they can make the same or more per sale at a lower cost.

PCs also have the largest game library of any platform and the massive free to play library that comes with it as well. And it's really free, not 'pay 50 a year for a subscription and get to play a game for a month' free

PC is, in theory, forever backwards compatible. Want to play CoD4? Don't shell out the money for Infinite Warfare, just install CoD4 and play on the servers PC still hosts. Games that came out upwards of 10 years ago can still be installed and run with no issue.

You don't have to double spend. No buying a console and a computer for work/school. Put your 300 dollar home computer and 400 dollar console prices together and you made a huge leap in budget to built a killer PC. You also get a much more versatile platform capable of running much more stuff and you get so much more control over your experience.

Don't skimp on the PSU. Since it's a server, I'm gonna assume that it's gonna be running more hours a day than a home PC. I'd suggest investing in a decent PSU like this one at the very least. For the pretty penny it may seem to cost upfront, it could save you a lot of time and patience down the road.

EVGA 500 B1, 80+ BRONZE 500W $46,94

https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-BRONZE-Supply-Warranty-100-B1-0500-KR/dp/B00DZ6R9GE/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1482917942&sr=1-4&keywords=psu&refinements=p_n_feature_keywords_two_browse-bin%3A6906983011%7C6906984011%2Cp_n_feature_keywords_browse-bin%3A2888266011

Trust us when we say take that 1060 out. Then get a new PSU ASAP, the maximum shouldn't be more than a few days, anymore than that and say good bye PC. This is a good one to get as far as I know but I can always be wrong.

Not a fan of that PSU, especially considering ryzen chips draw quite a bit of power when overclocked. You can find 500w 80+ bronze ones for about 30-40 bucks right now. And yes, there is a difference in efficiency from 80+ and 80+ bronze.

Edit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00DZ6R9GE/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1500427322&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=500w+bronze&dpPl=1&dpID=4158jP7Q8kL&ref=plSrch

CHANGE NOW!!!!!! If you have the bank go with the evga p2 supernova but if not stick with an evga bronze or silver listed [here] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DZ6R9GE/ref=twister_B01G69E69E?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1)

IMO, I'd get this psu instead -- roughly the same price, WAAAY more reviews (so, presumably, more consistent).


Also, for a couple more dollars, you can double your HDD storage.

heres a evga bronze 500w one for around the same price which I think is better than this 600w. https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-BRONZE-Supply-Warranty-100-B1-0500-KR/dp/B00DZ6R9GE

I would classify that as "potential system killer". Do yourself a favor and upgrade ASAP.

Here's a decent 500w PSU that won't break the bank or your components.

Edit: Here's a handy guide for PSU quality tiers

will this PSU be able to supply a 480 8gb and an i3 6100? I will probably upgrade the 6100 to a 6500 , its for my little brother. I also have a 750w Bronze something EVGA psu if need be, I just dont wanna go through all that hassle

found a Bronze+ PSU, EVGA 500 B1, 80+ BRONZE 500W Power Supply, 3 Year Warranty, Includes FREE Power On Self Tester 100-B1-0500-KR found here

That's a beautiful build ;) Also, the motherboard is a micro atx so try and find a micro atx case and power supply. I know that evga has some power supplies that are micro atx. I think your atx case will support the micro atx, but generally atx cases are more expensive and it'll be a lot of space in your computer. It's more of a personal preference, but it could save you some money and make your computer more compact. I suggest this case and this power supply

Cool, that's the best one to have.

You can put a standard ATX size power supply in there if you needed. Something like an EVGA 500B would be good and won't cost too much.

CDN$ 190.70 -GTX 1050 Ti

CDN$ 64.99 - EVGA 500B

The GTX 1050 Ti only needs a 300W PSU. It may already have that. I've seen people run it even off of something like a 240-260W PSU and be ok. May not need to upgrade the PSU.

50 pounds won't buy you a PSU good enough for a high-end gaming rig. Although... I guess this one should do the job.

There's also EVGA 500B if you desperately need something now and 50 is literally max of what you can give.

You may have made a booboo not buying the right graphics card for your PSU. Might need to upgrade your PSU. Got a few bucks?

https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-BRONZE-Supply-Warranty-100-B1-0500-KR/dp/B00DZ6R9GE any of that line will work for your system, you goofed not checking your psu had what was needed first though :)

If price isn't a big issue on also getting a PSU, you can go a bit higher and look at other PSU's, but the 1060 doesn't take much power, so even the 450B version of that EVGA power supply should be fine.

This PSU is fine but this might suit it a bit better. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DZ6R9GE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_gefIzbSZPV6R8

And I would look into getting 4x2 Ram sticks rather then 1 stick, as there's 4 ram slots, and dual channel ram usually runs better.

Most Corsair or EVGA brand PSUs of sufficient wattage will suffice. If you're brand brand new to PCs and don't know what to get, get the [EVGA 500B1] (https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-BRONZE-Supply-Warranty-100-B1-0500-KR/dp/B00DZ6R9GE). It'll provide more than enough headroom for a mid or low end computer. If you're going for dual graphics cards or other extras, just buy a model with slightly higher wattage.

The rating (bronze, gold, titanium etc) refers to the power and overall efficiency of the PSU. Don't pay too much attention to it unless you really want to.

that power supply looks a little sketchy. I'd spend another $15 and get something bronze certified or better: https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-BRONZE-Supply-Warranty-100-B1-0500-KR/dp/B00DZ6R9GE/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1493320309&sr=1-2&keywords=evga&refinements=p_n_feature_keywords_two_browse-bin%3A6906984011

> EVGA 500B

This one?

• You don't need a Z97 board for that locked CPU. A B85 or H81 board would be fine!
  
• For the price of that 960, you can grab a 4GB 380 that will easily outperform it.
  
• You're missing a power supply. Grab a 500B, it should be able to handle this build quite comfortably.
  
• Yes, these components are compatible.
  
  I would also advise to go with Skylake, a 6400 or 6500 would best suit this build, as opposed to Haswell, due to the fact that the LGA1151 socket is to be used for Cannonlake and Kaby Lake. If you want to, therefore, upgrade down the line, you won't need to replace the motherboard and the RAM. I assume you used PCPartPicker, which will automatically filter incompatible parts, so there are no worries there. I'll work on a build and post it here shortly!

The recommended PSU is 300 watts I believe, 250 may be cutting it a bit close, it will probably work but isn't worth possibly damaging your $200 video card. I would upgrade the power supply. EVGA has a good 500 watt 80+ bronze for under $50.

So looking at your other post, and the info you provided, I have a couple comments:

1. Given the specs you provided, I think you should have no problem running really any game at 1080p 60Hz.
   
2. From the comments on your other post, it seems like the issue is power delivery. Did you check all of the power supply connections to ensure that they are sufficiently connected? There was also a comment regarding testing the RAM, have you checked that?
   
3. if you need a new PSU, there are a few EVGA ones on sale on Amazon. One for ~$40 (https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-BRONZE-Supply-Warranty-100-B1-0500-KR/dp/B00DZ6R9GE)
   
   but personally I would advise (if you have some extra money) jumping up to the 80+ gold PSU (https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Supernova-Modular-Warranty-220-G3-0550-Y1/dp/B01LWTS2UL) for ~$20 more.
   
   From what I know, EVGA is a trustworthy company, and their G3 power supplies are a good choice.

My friend built his g4560 rig in this case with this psu. Quiet, does a good job and has a 80+ bronze rating. That's my recommendation. The PSU i'm using in MY rig though, Old, sketchy and somehow still powering a 5850 in 2017. I need an upgrade haha

Everything is looking fine dude except the power supply. Stay away from the brand Thermaltake.

Try to get something like this>

If you have any questions people ask away. :)

Go in the middle and get the EVGA 500b or I guess the 600b cause it's only like a dollar more. But I wouldn't cheap out and get the white one, especially in a gaming build.

Also, the v300 is a pretty bad SSD. Some good budget ones are a-data sp550, pny cs1311, ocz trion 150, and most Sandisk models.

Yup your right.

Without knowing your CPU/memory and or financial budget it is hard to say. But you probably want something off this list.

https://pcpartpicker.com/products/motherboard/?compatible_with=ttQRsY#sort=a8&s=14

Personally I would just sell the whole HP desktop on Ebay as some old person will probably buy it for a couple three hundred. Then you can just add that money to the ~$100 you would have spend on a mobo. So you are at about $300-400...add a couple cnotes and you should be able to build a decent rig around that 1050.

| part | price |

| cpu | $120 |
| ram | $85 |
| disk | $140 |

or go get a pcmasterrace build kabylake builds (I think the mobo prices are still too high)

Now, I have a few questions.

• How will I know if the cooler is going to fit and not be in the way of anything?
  
  
• I can't seem to find any small cases that have the features of the larger ones (vents, top and side fans). Should I just stay with a larger case?
  
  
• I need an s/pdif optical for my speakers. Should I get a pcie card or external usb?
  
  
• How will I know if the video card hangs over the spare pcie slot?
  
  
• WiFi - USB vs Pcie?
  

just realized the power supply will not work. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DZ6R9GE/ref=ox_sc_sfl_image_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER will this work better?

Pcpartpicker doesn't actually have my current PSU (the one I would use for a new build) that I already replaced on my pre-built. I'm fine with lower graphics as long as I'm getting a steady 144 fps on my monitor. Is the gpu actually that terrible of an upgrade from my 740?

Amd A10-5800k 3.8Ghz
ASUSTeK A55BM-E
GeForce 650
8GB RAM
Corsair VS350W


And I was thinking of going for an RX480, new PSU and an SSD.

How do these look in terms of brands etc? Are there better alternatives? Better places to buy from?

OK thank you, here is the link, but i think its fairly popular: https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-BRONZE-Continuous-Warranty-100-B1-0500-KR/dp/B00DZ6R9GE//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=buildg-20&linkId=e1dbc37b2861621935e22b8a174b670e

i'm buying here in brazil. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DZ6R9GE/ref=twister_B01G69E69E?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 is this a good one ? the price is good for me.

I was looking at this 500w power supply, but it seems to cheap to be good. Is it okay to get?

Here is a PCI wifi card. As for PSU build quality, have a look at Tom's Hardware PSU tier list here and get something no lower than tier 3. Something like this should be great. Hope that helps!

you're spending too much on a CPU considering you only have a 1060

I would say downgrade the CPU to an i5-6600 ($220), i5-6500 ($200), or an i5-6400 ($180). (Dont get anything with a K, K means it's ready to be overclocked. You will need to have a Z170 motherboard to overclock intel cpus) and either upgrade something else or pocket the extra money

• I would personally get an i5-6400 for this build but I can see you value a good cpu so feel free to get the i5-6500
  
  
• you'll save about $100-150 and see basically no change. You will also need a lot more than $122 for a keyboard, mouse AND monitor so I would use that extra 100 for those things.
  
  Also you really don't need a 650W power supply. I would get something like the EVGA 500 B1, 80+ BRONZE 500W to save another $40 for your monitor and peripherals.

So, this power-supply will work In Australia? Sorry, I just need to be 100% correct before I go ahead and by the parts.

If you can drop the ram to 8GB and and look for a slightly cheaper PSU as 500 watt's is plenty for that build tru this EVGA 500W Bronz https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-BRONZE-Supply-Warranty-100-B1-0500-KR/dp/B00DZ6R9GE/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1506443387&sr=1-2&keywords=evga+500w and try and put the money saved in to a better GPU

Hey, good build!

• It's possible that the price of cryptocurrencies change in a way that makes 1060's and RX cards lose demand, but honestly it's impossible to know with certainty.
  
• The 3GB performs very similarly to the 6GB 1060. On a tight budget I would definitely recommend the 3GB card or the 1050 ti that you have selected.
  
• There aren't really any changes you could make that would decrease the cost while also having minimal impact on speed (other than a smaller HDD)
  
  Here's your build but with a few changes:

• Changed your motherboard to the B350 chipset. This will allow you to overclock your processor for greater performance. If you are really against overclocking, you can stick with the motherboard you had originally selected.
  
• Swapped out your RAM for a faster set, only adding $5 to the overall cost.

actually go for this one its cheaper and has a bronze rating

White rating? Never heard of that. Get this: https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-BRONZE-Supply-Warranty-100-B1-0500-KR/dp/B00DZ6R9GE

Cheap and good, and has a real rating.
edit: did some quick research, definitely get the one I linked over the 500W.

That works! If you're not planning on getting a second GPU, id go with this 500w model: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DZ6R9GE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_UXmxybCJPYVFV.

They perform really well for the price.

Consider the EVGA 500w ($45) or making the jump to the EVGA 600w ($55)

https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-BRONZE-Warranty-Tester-100-B1-0600-KR/dp/B00DZ6R9GE?th=1

Use www.jonnyguru.com to check the reliablity of PSUs (its the best PSU reviewer), the EVGA has a score of 8.4 quite good for the price.

Are all PSU pretty much interchangeable? Could this work with my specs?

This should do it

http://www.amazon.it/dp/B00DZ6R9GE

It will also handle GPUs like 970/980 Ti if you plan to upgrade later.

This is one of the best budget psu you can get. Build looks good to me.

EVGA 500B is great, Corsair CX500 is also good at this point.

this but it isn't 80+ bronze, it's just 80+...

or this which is bronze efficient

I am looking on there as well, It is ok , nice to see other people's builds, not so much advice/opinions though

  Did this upgrade for my friend a couple weeks ago. Was in the same situation but with an older processor. With the upgrades he runs most games on high :)

that psu is just... no. New psu with better power delivery is highly recommended.

no problem, and that looks good except you may as well change the motherboard to have 4 dimm slots in case you want to upgrade in the future. for example the ga-b250m-ds3h is only like $8 more, but then again so is this bronze psu 500w in case you would want to upgrade your gpu eventually

Thanks for the recommendation. How about this PSU? https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-BRONZE-Supply-Warranty-100-B1-0500-KR/dp/B00DZ6R9GE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1492720065&sr=8-2&keywords=evga+500w

What are the differences between these two power supplies?:

and what are the differences between these two RAMs?:

500 w

https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-BRONZE-Supply-Warranty-100-B1-0500-KR/dp/B00DZ6R9GE

Yes it will... but why that one?

If budget is your goal, I suggest these two

This one

Or

This One

Not on my highly recommend, but it gets the job done that’s within your price range.

Imo I’d say just upgrade.

$700 is a bit tight for some of the newer games, this is the best i could come up with that fits reasonably close to that.

AMD FX-8350

Corsair H75

Gigabyte AM3+ 990FX

corsair vengence pro 2x4

MSI radeon rx470

corsair r500

EVGA 500w


i would recommend you wait a month or so in case the price of AM3+ stuff drops due to the ryzen being released, if that happens you might be able to afford an rx480

Assuming you're on a budget, I'd go with this one: https://www.amazon.de/EVGA-Bronze-500B-PC-Netzteil-Watt/dp/B00DZ6R9GE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1486982285&sr=8-1&keywords=evga+500

Id just get a 80+ bronze certified 500 watt even though it may not be needed, if you are really concerned. Here is one from EVGA (well known company) https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-BRONZE-Supply-Warranty-100-B1-0500-KR/dp/B00DZ6R9GE/ref=sr_1_18?ie=UTF8&qid=1487507745&sr=8-18&keywords=power+supply also you could get the white certified option.

Why is the EVGA 600B cheaper than the EVGA 500B? Are there any differences?

For example EVGA 500B.

https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-BRONZE-Supply-Warranty-100-B1-0500-KR/dp/B00DZ6R9GE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1499618452&sr=8-1&keywords=evga+500b

So something like this?

Thank you /u/PowerRaptor. With his help I have decided to transfer everything to the Fractal Design Core 1000 Case. The price is small and it has 3 fan slots + 1 fan included. The PSU I will be upgrading to is EVGA 500B 500W 80+ BRONZE PC Power Supply. Thank you again and have a nice day.

> Zalman ZM500-LE 500W

Honestly the 1050 ti never feels worth it on cost to me. The RX 470 is usually cheaper and now there's a new model the RX 570 in that price range. Now, I would also get this rather than that PSU. My case is zalman and I like that, but I would not get a PSU that isn't 80+ imo.

If you're not looking into over-clocking you can save like $60 by going down to a i5-7500, H270 mobo instead of a Z270, EVGA 500w is almost $10 cheaper than the Corsair you picked, and lower DDR4 memory for another $10 or so.

Here are the cheaper parts from Amazon:

HyperX RAM 16GB

MSI Pro H270

EVGA 500 B1

i5 7500.

Other than that, solid build.

thanks for the reply, would this be good? Sorry it's been a long time since I've actually put together a PC, got lazy and cheap. and then i found this for a PSU?

I appreciate the help

I'd spend the extra $4 and get the 500W Bronze version.

The 500W you linked isn't bad, but for $4 difference, the 500B is better.

I actually found a good deal on amazon. With the free prime trial they will actually ship the items in 2-3 days without charge as far as i understand, is this correct? Few ones that i actually liked:

1. The EVGA 500b for rm195!
   https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-BRONZE-Warranty-Tester-100-B1-0500-KR/dp/B00DZ6R9GE/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1474304453&sr=1-1&keywords=evga+500b
   
   
2. Keyboard with kaihl blue switch. AZIO MGK1 rm250. though some of the reviews about the longevity is quite scary, though this is the closest i can get to k70, how sad.

   I'll keep that in mind, at least touching some metal stuffs to stay grounded seems easy enough. If anything happen (hopefully not!) i will need your help and advices. oh any reliable step by step guides i can find online? watched 2-3 vids on youtube the commentating was kinda awful

This PSU should work fine too: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00DZ6R9GE

It can supply more power to the GPU than your Cooler Master unit.

Might wanna drop off a couple bucks.

For anyone ordering today, ncix has it for 30 bucks, today only.

What is the difference between these 2 psus?

EVGA 500 B1 80+ BRONZE, 500W

EVGA 500 W1 80+, 500W 100-W1-0500-KR

This is probably one of the best budget power supplies: https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-BRONZE-Continuous-Warranty-100-B1-0500-KR/dp/B00DZ6R9GE

I see. Thank you. Last thing, I'm looking at the one you recommended me on amazon because it works for me shipping wise. Anyways theres a 500W and 600W model and for some reason the 600W is cheaper even with the shipping differences. I can't find a reason for it and I don't wanna end up buying a PSU that is completely different.

EVGA 500B

This one is reliable and has enough connectors for your computer, it's also within your budget.

psu https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-BRONZE-Supply-Warranty-100-B1-0500-KR/dp/B00DZ6R9GE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1511135643&sr=8-1&keywords=evga+500w+bronze

cpu: you could get amd or intel.
try a ryzen 5 1600 or an i5 7600k
btw, if you're going to get a new cpu, then you might also need a new motherboard.

Don't go solely by the rating. That is just an efficiency rating for how the PSU performs under load. The cheapest PSU I would personally install is the EVGA 500B. That's my personal opinion.

There are better PSUs you can get for cheaper.
The EVGA 500B looks like a better choice at 39.99

The RX 480 only draws around 150w, which isn't a huge amount. You should be fine I'd say with any PSU 400+w. As another member said, you can get a dual molex to 6 pin pci that looks like this.

If you can list the PSU you have in the build, myself or someone else will be able to tell you if the PSU comes with the PCI cable or if an adapter like that will be needed. If the PSU is only 400w or even lower, it would be ideal to list all your parts, so someone can check you will have enough power available.

Worst case you may end up needing a new PSU, something like this 500w EVGA bronze 80+ is reliable, should cover your power requirements (depending on other components, but I'd be surprised to find otherwise) and not overly expensive (£57) for what your getting.

Picked one of these NESN drives yesterday and it came with a WD80EMAZ drive. I can confirm that the drive would NOT spin up without the tape mod with my EVGA 500B power supply.

It is pretty weak. You'd probably want something like this EVGA 500B, since it's low cost and relatively decent for low-power rigs.

It looks like DDR3 RAM has had a pretty severe price spike recently, so I would look around on Craigslist for an 8GB set. Alternately, r/hardwareswap is probably a good place to find some reasonably priced 8GB kits. Don't go for anything above like $35 though.

EDIT: Scratch that, PM this guy about the DDR3 if you have $40 to spend on RAM along with the $40 for the PSU.
https://www.reddit.com/r/hardwareswap/comments/5on83m/usatx_h_asus_z87_pro_motherboard_4x2_gb_ddr31333/


EDIT pt2: Never mind, this guy is in WA (cheaper shipping) and is selling 8gb for 30

A bad PSU can absolutely destroy the rest of your PC, so skimping out on a power supply is usually a poor decision. However, the RX 500 XT is probably a fine unit.

If you're worried and on a budget, get an EVGA 500B or 430B.

Buy yourself a 500w PSU or maybe 650 if you want to upgrade. I would consider you this PSU : https://www.amazon.ca/EVGA-BRONZE-Warranty-Tester-100-B1-0500-KR/dp/B00DZ6R9GE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1484365299&sr=8-2&keywords=evga+500w But everything looks good and i'm happy you chose a 480 ! ;D

EVGA Bronze 500W PSU. $56 as I type this. If you want cheaper, here's the same Bronze supply but with a 'fluid dynamic' fan bearing which probably is noisier. $46. Both of these supplies come with a 3 year warranty.


I hear only great things about EVGA's customer support. If you want to step up to their bulletproof line, the 550W G2 Supernova is a fantastic PSU but doesn't come in under your price range. I have the 850W G2 supply and I love it.

Save $300, go on ebay for a desktop that's about 2 years old for about $150, spend $60 on a HD 7850 or equivalent, spend $40 on a 500w psu, and use the rest of the. $50 on things that you may need. (speakers, keyboard/mouse combo, elder scroll theme mouse pad.. Etc)

EDIT:
what my tactics would be, [desktop] (http://www.ebay.com/itm/322398580557) , gpu funny thing this was my actual old gpu I sold, the pics of the guy holding it is me lol, 1080p monitor, psu

Yes. It's on Amazon. What's the difference between the white and bronze models?

bronze: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DZ6R9GE/ref=twister_B01G69E69E?_encoding=UTF8&th=1

white: https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-WHITE-Warranty-Supply-100-W1-0500-KR/dp/B00H33SFJU/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1484838822&sr=1-1&keywords=evga+500w

Also I have bought a 500W power supply, RX 570/580 require more power.

yeah I know, I just meant if wanted to spend less on a psu then you could buy a non modular one such as this one. but I feel that spending extra for modular is worth it.

Te RX 480 needs 500W minimum so that would be you PSU´s reccomended wattage. I would choose one with 520 or 550W just to be sure. I reccomend Seasonic, EVGA or Antec.
