"I priced everything out online and this is what it's worth" suuurrreee....
I'd offer $750 for everything, tops.
The EVGA B2 750w on Amazon for $57 is a better deal all around, as it's a vastly superior unit compared to the CX750.
There's no reason to go with the CX750 over the EVGA B2.
Even better, get a 400W EVGA for that.
Because I'm bored and do this for a living I'm going to put together an alt build for you:
Nice entry level Skylake gaming Mobo (I've used this, it's nice, has USB 3.1 which will be very helpful in the coming years for data transfers)
https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Gaming-Skylake-Motherboard-H110M/dp/B01B4U47E4/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1486579857&sr=1-2&keywords=lga+1151
Processor: G440
https://www.amazon.com/Intel-BX80662G4400-Pentium-Processor-FCLGA1151/dp/B015VPX05A
RAM (only 8GB but get 16 if you can afford another $40 or so)
https://www.amazon.com/Kingston-HyperX-2133MHz-Non-ECC-HX421C14FBK2/dp/B00TY6A1P0/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1486579959&sr=1-5&keywords=DDR4
Video card:
RX 470 OC edition, I like this card great bang for the buck:
https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Radeon-RX-470-ARMOR/dp/B01N3TCNNW/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1486580034&sr=1-1&keywords=RX+470+4gb
SSD: budget one, but way better than a spinning drive:
https://www.amazon.com/Silicon-Power-240GB-Internal-SP240GBSS3S55S25AE/dp/B01M61OWRI/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1486580111&sr=1-1&keywords=240gb+ssd
Power supply:
no reason to spend more with this build:
https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Warranty-Power-Supply-100-N1-0400-L1/dp/B00LV8TZAG/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1486580138&sr=1-1&keywords=400+watt+power+supply
Case:
https://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-VERSA-Micro-Gaming-Computer/dp/B01CLIZ698/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1486580162&sr=1-5&keywords=micro+atx+case
total cost of build is roughly:
Mobo ($70)
CPU ($60)
GPU ($170)
RAM ($70)
SSD ($60)
PSU ($30)
Case ($40)
So total is roughly $500 and with this build you have a great upgrade path, which you won't have at all with the one you proposed.
The power supply seems slightly excessive price wise. You could save a little or just get a better one. I have below two cheaper options that should be fine.

No, you need a bigger PSU, both of those cards combined will suck at least 200W each under load, maybe even 225w.
Safe bet is to get a 750W PSU
https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Modular-Warranty-Supply-210-GQ-0750-V1/dp/B017HA3RGE/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1519098759&sr=8-4&keywords=750W+PSU
What about the motherboard? Is it compatible with the gpu l. I tried looking on pc partpicker but it wont show up so i cant tell
Will it be compatible with this power supply aswell?
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00LV8TZAG?ref=olp_product_details
Same price on Amazon as well. You can save on shipping if youve already used the newegg trial.
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01MTJTO2O/
It doesnt have to be really expensive, something like a EVGA 500 BQ (which is $54) will be more than enough for the 1080 and 7600k. If you want to get the 750W for what ever reason its just $16 more expensive. Nvidia themselves a 500W psu for the 1080 with a good cpu like the 7600k factored in,
Also the CX-series is fine if your system doesn't require a lot of power or if your system is ultra budget. Also the EVGA ones have sleeved cables which looks much nicer than the Corsair one. The CX psus with the green lables have not the best quality caps and use thin gauage wires if i recall correctly and is not suitable if you are planning to overclock in the future.
If you still want a Corsair CX psu, get ones with a gray logo, those are the new ones and they use higher quality components. But they are much more expensive for some reason so I would recommend the evga ones.
If you dont care about the all black cables on the BQ get the B1 which is a bit cheaper but the same PSU IIRC Here
Looks fairly modular to me: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B073H33X7R/ref=asc_df_B073H33X7R58610211/
Besides it's in my rig.
I've had PSUs fail but never seen smoke from them. The room if not house has filled with a "burnt electrical" smell when it happens.
You can get testers like this to see if the PSU if working. You do say "server", so if you do want to get a tester, make sure you have a supported PSU in the server.
Depending on what type of PSU you use and you skill level, that $15 could cover the better part of a new PSU that you could just get and try. If you do or plan to do system builds, etc a tester would be good to have on hand.
Can't go wrong with this guy.
Just make sure your case is able to fit ATX sized power supplies. Post a picture of the inside of your computer if you're not sure.
Specifically was looking at the Seasonic G Series 550W
I may go with one of the models mention by the other commenter in this thread though.
For those that need a Decent cheap PSU and don't want to rely on Rebates to get the price down.
Same price on Amazon but with Free Shipping for Prime Members : https://smile.amazon.com/EVGA-BRONZE-Warranty-Tester-100-B1-0450-K1/dp/B01F5LX55K
Thanks to /u/The5thHorseman666 for letting me know.
None of the below links are affilliate.
If you're getting into more network layer stuff, you'll want a cable toner, RJ-45 Ends, Cat 5 or 6 Cable, RJ-45 Crimper as well.
Pay the few extra dollars to get the bronze rated at least...
There's this one
I was afraid of that. Your PSU most likely doesn't have the connectors to power your card. I'd recommend getting a new PSU, probably a CX500 from Corsair should be fine. 99.9% of cards with the performance of a 760 will require external power.
> Can buy them new for $110 on amazon right now and 115 + a $20 rebate new from Canada Computers.
Hello, those prices are for the Semi-modular 750W and with 80+ bronze efficiency. I can see that Canada Computers has a cheaper PSU in stock.
Amazon
Canada Computers
You are welcome to drive to Hamilton by August 10th, pay $109.99 plus tax ($124.29), save the receipt, pay $0.63 to mail the rebate form, and then two months later enjoy your $20 gift card from EVGA with your PSU with less efficiency, less cables, and half the warranty.
If I were you, the first step I would take is to get rid of the PSU. I will come to that later.
If you are a casual gamer, then 60hz will be more than enough. The rest depends on you. You also need it for graphics, so an IPS panel is a must. Price will depend on what screen size you want.
Now coming to the important thing, discard that PSU. Don't cheap out on an important component. I will list you good PSUs with room for future upgrade from one of my recent comment. These are all good PSUs, and you can blindly choose any of them. Prices will be low if you check out local sellers. You can buy 520/550w PSU, but that is purely your choice. I suggested 650w cause you will have ample room if you decide to buy even more powerful Graphics card. Don't go for any 450w PSU.
If you are sure you might try SLI in near future, then you must get at least a minimum of 850w.

Okay. You basically picked the best parts of every category, apart from the ram, and put them in a build. That does not make the build bad, it just makes it complete overkill. With the exception of overwatch, to reach 100 FPS there in best settings the GTX 1070 is not wrong, see http://www.gamersnexus.net/game-bench/2200-overwatch-gpu-benchmark-and-fps-tests. But if you play that on low as well you should get a used GTX 970.
Mainboard is unnecessary expensive, cooler bigger than needed even if you want to overclock more than mildly, i7 is wasted money over an i5, the 950 Pro also serves no purpose. Half of that ram would be enough, half of that half would work as well. The R5 is a good case and I won't criticize that choice. For the psu a 550W unit would be perfectly fine.

Here the Fury is a placeholder for the GTX 1070. Though, like I said, whether that is even close to a sound buy depends on the wanted overwatch settings.
Likely no however the power supply isn't powered. still however an audible pop from a power supply often means blown fuse or blown capacitor.
Buy an atx power supply tester from amazon or your local pc hardware provider. Another option is any pc repair shop worth their weight in salt should have an atx power supply tester. Take your power supply to one of your unable to locate your own atx power supply tester.
The cost to buy your power supply tester is generally very inexpensive however.
If you need a reliable replacment an evga G3 gold efficiency unit is among the best offerings currently available for power supplies having a seven year warranty and near perfect reviews from jonnyguru.
The 650 watt evga G3 gold unit is $80 from amazon.

sorry editor is being wonky and driving me nuts.
Be Quiet! is mixed quality. The Pure Power 9 600W is average quality, at best. It's nowhere near the Supernova G2.

EVGA Supernova 550 G3
It's $40 on Amazon with with Prime also
Yeah that one way my b... I've since swapped it out in favor of this one.
The BQ series is kinda meh, I would buy this one instead, it's the best PSU on the market, is fully modular, and costs the same:
https://www.amazon.com/Seasonic-SSR-650FX-ATX12V-Modular-Compact/dp/B073H33X7R/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1522686434&sr=1-1&keywords=seasonic+focus+plus+gold
The PSU efficiency ratings actually refer to how much extra power the PSU has to pull from the wall to provide the rated power to the components. Remember that your PSU is converting the AC current from the wall into DC current for your components. Your PSU cannot maintain 100% of the wattage it draws from the wall through to the components. It will actually provide less wattage than it draws from the AC power source.
Because of that, PSUs are rated by how much power they can (supposedly) supply to the components, not how much power they need to pull from the wall. So a PSU rated for 500W at 80+ efficiency should theoretically be able to supply 500W to the PC, but to do so it will to pull about 625W from the wall (500/.8 = 625). Higher efficiency ratings like Gold or Platinum means that it may pull less from the wall to hit that 500W. So like, if a Platinum rated PSU is 90% efficient, it may be able to supply its components with 500W but it only pulls 556W from the wall (500/.9).
Generally PSUs rated above 80% efficiency are just given the Bronze/Silver/Gold/Platinum/etc. system rather than hard numbers. I'm not sure precisely why this is other than that manufacturers feel they may not be able to guarantee efficiencies above 80% one hundred percent of the time.
That said I am not an expert so somebody may come along and correct this a bit.
It's probably the worst time it's been to buy a 8700. They are way over priced and if you had to buy one you looking at about £150 premium on what they were a couple of months ago. That's across the board for Intel chips. Even 7600K chips are hitting £180 when they were about £120.
If you buying a CPU that can overclock then you probably should, especially if you have a reasonable cooler already.
I would probably push you to consider an AMD build in the current market as it's better value, I'm sure someone here can provide a decent AMD equivalent build as I'm pretty out of the loop.
If you are picking up a GTX 1080 you should pair the with a 1440p or higher monitor. Probably ideal to pick up a 144hz+ 1440p monitor. (Unless you want 240hz).
RAM prices are crashing and there's been lots of really good deals about, if you can spot a deal just go for it, anything from 2666 and up will do you fine.
You probably want a NVME drive as a boot drive so pickup the NVME version. Could go as low as a 256GB NVME and pickup a cheap 1TB SSD for storage (prices are pretty low and 'black friday' is coming up).
Personally I would swap the PSU for a Seasonic Focus Plus PSU but they aren't miles apart.
If you can wait this is much cheaper:

Are we good? Haha!
It would've been much cheaper if you consider the "used" parts and going with the ex-generation parts (Mobo+Cpu). Heck, X1 and PS4's parts are kinda old, ya know.
Always assume you will need to add a custom BIOS with the 771 Xeon's microcode, as the CPUs aren't supported. The power supply is very old, not even 80+ certified and probably won't have the connections you need, a cheap solution would be this.
There's nothing inherently wrong with using extensions or custom cables (if you bought/were shipped the right ones). BUT YOU HAVE TO TEST THEM. There's too much chance of human failure with custom cables/extensions.
https://www.amazon.com/Optimal-Shop-Computer-Supply-Connectors/dp/B00Q8SUYHW/ or https://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Automated-Supply-Oversized-Supplies/dp/B005F778JO/
At this point I'd test the powersupply both with and without the extensions. But you need to test that power supply!
When you build fancy, you have to "bench test" first. No fancy LEDs, just the base components on a non-conductive/anti-static surface. If you don't have such a surface, then just test the basics in the case.
With an old power supply, there are a few things to keep in mind.
One of the biggest risks is capacitor damage - aging and bursting. Capacitor bursting is less common now, as the root causes were generally discovered - but a really old component or a cheap manufacturer could still run into them. Capacitor aging is still an issue - most capacitor types do suffer from this, and the general affect is that the power supplies overall rating reduces over time. This is so common that the popular OuterVision Power Supply Calculator references it as an issue (albeit less than it used to - see 'Computer Utilization Time'.
All components can fail, however. A few examples:
This isn't to say don't use one! Just know the risks and act accordingly:
I have some systems that have good PSUs that have lasted for well over 5 years. I have some that failed after a year or two. It's all situational, but you're safest when you think it through. Overprovisioning power usage from the start is a big help.
By the way, it's also $99.99 on Amazon.ca and MemoryExpress at its historical lowest ever price: CamelCamelCamel , PCPartPicker . However, only MemoryExpress and Newegg offers the $20 rebate.

With these changes, the build would be withing budget.
Your PSU going bad can kill the rest of your system.
ALWAYS get a PSU with at least a "bronze" rating (which means "it's tested and it will deliver the power on the package 99% of the time and isn't going to crap out on you unless you go over that). Admittably there aren't many sub 450 watt units for a reasonable price with a rating like that, but you NEVER want to cheap on the PSU, even if the shop guy says it's the most "running model."
Get something like this EVGA or this Corsair, both 450w bronze.
You could but at a additional cost of $100, I wouldn't recommend it.
edit: Actually, this would work ($59.99), you wouldn't need the full set. (Amazon link here)
If it's possible to return the SF 450, I personally think you would be better off getting something like an EVGA G3 550 (10mm shorter than ATX standard, same warranty length).
Newegg has it in stock right now.

The cheap Asrock is the cheapest by a good margin, but skimps a bit on some features that all of the others have, like ALC1220. All of the others are mostly comparable.
Also, I would buy a power supply that isn't poopfeces. This is a quality unit.

What the person said above and below. I would not recommend using just any brands for PSU. It's pretty much the foundation of your whole PSU. You don't want your whole system to go haywire because of your PSU.

I had the 500 PSU EVGA. I recently upgraded 3 months ago. It's wonderful!
Do you have any Maximum price you would like to pay? For a new power supply this would be the minimum And for the Graphics card i would suggest This im suggesting these becasue theyre pretty good and not overly expensive. if you would be comfortable spending more or less money just tell me and i can get a lower (or higher) end gpu
I would possibly change the PSU out for a corsair one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00ALYOTTI/?tag=pcp0f-21? There is nothing wrong with the one you have, its just my thoughts. Also, you'll fill that SSD pretty quickly, plus larger drives have better performance
EVGA SuperNOVA G2 850W? https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Crossfire-Warranty-220-G2-0850-XR/dp/B00IKDETOC
Big negative on that power supply considering the fact that you have a high end CPU like that. Spend it on (http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Crossfire-Warranty-110-B2-0750-VR/dp/B00KFAFRW6)Also reccomend getting a better mobo, not that it's the worst but there are better options.
Alternatively, if OP is OK with doing rebates, then one should go for the SeaSonic G Series SSR-550RM power supply instead:

750W is more power than you need for that build, a decent 500W would be more than enough. This would be my choice saving you $25: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00918MEZG/?tag=pcpapi-20
I would not buy the E3-1270 V3 either. The E3-1230 V3 is $100 less, but only 200MHz slower.
There should be no issues at all using a Radeon or GeForce card with that board.
I'd actually go with this one. It's gold and modular, same price.
Corsair CX600, if that's too expensive you can downgrade to the Corsair CX500 relatively safely.

I have the 990 MT with the i7-2600. I would suggest buying the corsair CX550 or CX600 psu for this as it is the EXACT size of the stock PSU you need to install using the case's included mounting bracket. If you don't get the right size the bracket will get in the way of installing the side panel.
This one ----> https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-CX600-Supply-Bronze-Certified/dp/B0092ML0MY/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1522928777&sr=8-4&keywords=corsair%2Bcx%2Bseries%2B550%2Bwatt%2B80%2Bplus%2Bbronze%2Bcertified&dpID=51YFU0kvQJL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch&th=1
I would go with at least the 500 watt model, but I have the 550 watt, you can find them on sale usually.
When it comes to the GPU, just make sure you are buying one that is less than 8" in length. I have the EVGA SC GTX1060 3gb ---- single fan model that is factory overclocked.
Just make sure you aren't trying to install a GPU that runs off only the PCI-E power as it only supplies a max of 50ish watts or less to the card (Dell says only 35watts, but it will push a little more than that). You want a card that will run off the 6 or 8 pin pci-e power connectors on the new PSU.
Picking up 2 more sticks of DDR3 ram is also recommended. I have 16gb in my system now. Keep in mind this board only supports 4 x 4gb dimms of ram. I picked up a matching 8gb kit of matching ram for my machine for $32 from a reputable seller on ebay. just something to keep in the back of your mind.
I've also installed a 4 port usb 3.0 card on my machine. It will fit just fine in the bottom pci-e 16x slot of the mobo. TRUST me, you will want this as the included 2.0 ports are slow as molasses for 3.0 usb drives. You can pick one up here ---> https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B011LZY20G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I also decided to go with an ssd for the boot drive and programs. I went with the Samsung Evo 850 250gb. Make sure you place the SATA cable on the furthest right SATA port on the MOBO. This is the only SATA 3.0 port on the motherboard, the next one to the left is a SATA 2.0 port (that I have a 2tb 7200rpm HDD on for storage and games). I wouldn't use the furthest left 2 white sata ports. They are sata 1.0 and the controller is garbage for those two ports and a known issue with these motherboard.
Last thing I would mention is that if you are running this on Windows for gaming, I would stick to the Windows 7 Pro install that came with your machine. Trying to get my GPU and Windows 10 drivers working on my machine was a nightmare and required hours of searching for compatible drivers, also the board in the 990 didn't get the bios update for win 8.1 or win 10. So for the life of this machine --- 2-3 more years, I would stick with win 7 since it is supported till 2020.
GOOD LUCK!!! PM me if you have questions!
Get a Corsair 500W 80 Plus
Edit: Or even a 430W just be fine. I think.

I don't think the GTX 780 is worth the extra $100. I'd go with an EVGA GTX 770 with and change your PSU to a cheaper Corsair which is better.

Comments:
That power supply is not enough power go for at least 550W 80+ bronze instead to give a little headroom and 600W 80+ bronze if you want to overclock.
Here you go: http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Series-Modular-Bronze-ATX12V/dp/B00ALYOPSS
/u/dirtyunclechris suggested a good motherboard, any z97 chipset will be ok for you. I guess you'll spend 120-150$ on the motherboard, but you can find some z97 for under 100$. There are less features though (no wi-fi, less SATA ports for HDDs, worse soundcard). If you get the Z97-A or Z97-G45 you should be good to go.
Overclocking is pretty much what you said, but it requires a bit of a set up. It's not hard, but if you mess up you could compromise the processor/motherboard. The price for a locked processor is pretty much the same, so I would still go for the 4690K, but you wouldn't need the z97 mobo (look for h97 mobos in this case).
To be honest if your gaming use is that limited you could wait for the GTX960 and see if the price is good enough to buy one at launch (in 2 weeks). GTX970 is kind of overkill unless you want to play really demanding games.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ALYOPSS/?tag=pcpapi-20 this PSU would be good enough, you save 20$ and it's modular.
The corsair will be fine for your need.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ALYOPSS/?tag=pcpapi-20
http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp use this to get an idea of what psu you will need for those parts i would just go with
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ALYOPSS/ref=twister_B00UZWN5XW?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Pretty sure any power supply that's generic a standard ATX power supply with a 24pin connector. Only other factor is size, but that's usually not an issue.
This is the one I bought for my dell xps...(I assume you have a dell xps 8300):
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ALYOPSS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Size is more of an issue with the graphics card. You'll want to measure the length of space in your case for a videocard and only buy one that has less than that in length. I know the super long graphics cards that are like 10-11 inches won't fit in dells small-ish cases.
These came out way under your budget, so it's up to you if you want me to change them to be even better. As they are they'll do great, especially the first build.

And here's the second one:
I'm not sure how much memory you'll want so I put in 4GB, if you need more then go with what I listed for the other build.
I went with a small form factor for this, should look pretty natural by a TV.

Also, we ask if you're near a MicroCenter because they often charge less if you can pick a component up from their stores.
Edit: Have you considered a Chromecast instead of a second pc? It won't be able to do as much but it can stream Chrome tabs to your TV or pull videos (like YouTube) straight from your wifi.
Besides that, it will be a great build. I can't wait until I get my 980.
You will be somewhat hard pressed to find a good unit for that budget, unless you are buying brand new.
I would recommend putting a little extra money with that and going with the Corsiar CX600M. The CX series catches a lot of flack from this community, but it is a very good budget PSU if you aren't pushing it to the limit.
A 600W PSU will save you a bit of cash, which you can put towards an SSD.
Can the XFX Radeon HD 7870 fit inside the Fractal Design Node 304 with the Corsair CX600M Power Supply in there?
pretty good but get a different network adapter and id personally recommended these changes
Network adapter: http://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-Link-TL-WN822N-300MBPS-Wireless-Adapter/dp/B00416Q5KI/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1419014423&sr=1-2&keywords=wifi+adapter

if you play rome 2 or other strategy sims that proc isnt the greatest, the gpu will outshine the cpu in certain games giving huge fps spikes from like 30 one moment to 60 the next
of course this is only select few games anything else is flawless bf4,skyrim etc
Corsair have some great options for PSU's, lemme find you one.
This should do you a solid http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00ALYOTTI/?tag=pcp0f-21
I'd suggest a better GPU and PSU.
I suggest this for a graphics card and this for a power supply. Also, that case comes with 4 fans, so you're good.
Corsair CX600M. Should free up some cables too, as it's semi modular.
Also Amazon have top notch warranty service. I got a tax refund on my RMA'd PSU that meant i got more than what i spent on it.

Here are the parts I found that could deliver to Ireland via amazon.uk. Sadly some of the parts they didn't have(the windforce 980) so I just picked what they had in stock. Others they were not allowed to ship to ireland for whatever reason.....Not sure on the budget for whatever reason this in in pounds.
If you think you might upgrade your graphics card in the future, it might be worth getting a bigger power supply to accommodate more power hungry components. I'm designing a build at the moment very similar to yours and I went for this.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00ALYOTTI?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_4&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE
That extra 100W means I won't have to worry about buying a new one.
How soon do you plan on building this? If you can wait a couple months the NVIDIA GTX 880 will be out soon, and it's supposed to be around the price of the 770 when it came out (about $400, US). This is probably the worst time of the year to build a computer. Devil's Canyon and Z97 did just come out, but Intel is still do for X99 and Haswell-E, NVIDIA is releasing Maxwell, and AMD probably has some stuff being announced soon.
Otherwise it looks good, the only things I would change would be the power supply (for an EVGA SuperNOVA), the motherboard (to something from ASUS), I would maybe get a cheaper SSD as the 850 Pro series don't really offer much more for the premium. An 840 EVO or a Crucial MX100 of the same price would be the optimal as far as price/performance. I would also recommend against getting a 7.1 headset, I've tried them and they're terrible, as an alternative I'd get a cheap pair of studio headphones like the Audio-Technica ATH-M50 and a desktop microphone.
Edit 1: I would recommend getting a case with better airflow as well. Something like the Phanteks Enthoo Pro is a good value case with much better airflow, and has a nice aesthetic.
The PSU is wayy too expensive. An EVGA G2 will work just fine.
EDIT: Just realized the 1080 is going to add to the wattage. Feel free to bump the psu to a 850 (unless someone with a more professional opinion disagrees)
Well I ran mine on a cx750. Not the best reputation. Although I never had a Problem. Extra headroom is always a nice thing. I would get this.

That's not a mid tier PSU. Anything over $100 is considered high end (IMO, especially on sub $1000 builds), and that's a $125, 10 year warranty PSU.

You're absolutely correct, though, otherwise. People should definitely give more of a shit about the thing that's literally powering the system.
Why just RM750X...EVGA G2 850W is on sale as well.

here's a review on this psu, as you can see, pretty much as good as it gets.
Death, fire, World War III, destruction of the known universe, these are some of the results of bad PSUs.
The one you have doesn't get great ratings from sites I checked, if I were you I'd look into something different just to be safe.
Here's a couple of good choices:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IKDETOC?tag=pcpapi-20&pldnSite=1
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010HWDOH6?tag=pcpapi-20&pldnSite=1
Check other sites as well, might be a better price.
that last bit really sounds like a bad power supply to me. Even if the power supply should be enough to handle the system, it might be a cheap power supply and some of the internals may be failing, after all: it is 5 years old. A bad power supply will do some strange things, and when it happens, nearly ever user's experience is slightly different. All of your temps are in the 'normal' range, and the crash occurs only when you start to stress the system by playing a game. Idling won't stress the power supply at all, and that is why you have no problems until you game.
I would go with a name brand power supply, I personally love my EVGA power supply and have had zero issues with either one I've had. I would use a site like https://pcpartpicker.com/ to double check what your estimated wattage is and get a supply that is about 100w, that way dont have to worry about approaching the max limit of the PS. An 850 would probably be what you are looking for.
edit: too add onto this, if the CPU was in fact overheating, in my experience, the computer will just do an emergency shutdown, it won't have any sort of audio loop. the mobo just cut power to make sure it won't do more damage. Speedfan likes to give symbols to say when things are getting hot, but most processors can hit 80c no problem, and most GPUs can hit 100c no problem without getting damaged.
The $20 Cryorig m9i outperforms the EVO thermally and noise-wise, if you plan on running near stock. If you're planning on seriously overclocking, I might recommend a larger cooler.
You can get cheap RAM sets like this one which will outperform your current selection.
A newer Fractal Design R5 is cheaper and better than the R4.
The EVGA 750w semi-modular Bronze PSU is cheaper and far better than the Corsair model you picked out.
Yeah, that's a very fair point. For the R9 390 however, I wouldn't want to go much below 650W. Maybe the [Corsair 650M] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B72W1VA) or the [SuperNova 750] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K85X23O/)?
Thanks for the explanation, this is super helpful. I'm planning to run four 1050 Tis and one 1060 6GB, and I wanted to plan how I was going to power them (using this NEX750B from EVGA.)
My plan was to use two molex risers with separate cables, and two 6 pin risers, but I'm not sure what I'm going to do about the fifth card/riser. Because I'll already be using the two molex cables from my PSU, I was planning to use a SATA to molex adapter, but the ones that came with my molex risers can apparently catch on fire (according to this video) because the SATA end has closed plastic around the wires. I guess I could either take the risk with one of those or try and find a better adapter.
Looks like a good spec, except I'd swich the PSU to;
http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-ATX12V-Supply-110-B1-0750-VR/dp/B00K85X23O/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1419776898&sr=1-5
6$ more than your current total.
Other than that, all good :).
Edit:
I'd also change the case, personally. Take a look at the Antec 300/302 - they're around 60$... do that and you'll save a few bucks, and, IMO have a better case.
A look at it here; http://infinityregion.com/antec-300-review/
Power supply is overpriced, get this instead ($865):
http://www.amazon.com.mx/EVGA-SuperNOVA-750-Fuente-poder/dp/B00K85X23O/
you should get 8GB of RAM ($760).
http://www.amazon.com.mx/Crucial-Ballistix-Sport-Memoria-registrar/dp/B00MTSWG30/
Cheaper GTX 970, different brand but still good ($6659):
http://www.amazon.com.mx/Gigabyte-GeForce-Tarjeta-gr%C3%A1fica-video/dp/B00NH5T1UA/
Cheaper motherboard, different brand but still good, supports SLI ($2999):
http://www.amazon.com.mx/Gigabyte-GA-Z170XP-SLI-DDR4-SDRAM-Celeron-Pentium/dp/B012AQGL4A/
That gets your price down to $22,395. To go lower than that, I think you need to switch to a Haswell DDR3 system instead. Right now Skylake (intel 6000 series) is still very expensive.
You just need a new power supply
It's $59.99 on Amazon too, I ordered one. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K85X23O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Becuase it's not sold by Amazon.
EVGA B2 750 w
And a jonnyguru review
(had to delete comment because I used a referral link)
I would recommend getting
http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Crossfire-Warranty-110-B2-0750-VR/dp/B00KFAFRW6/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1451307293&sr=1-1&keywords=evga+b2+750w
Hey man,
I would suggest:
Seasonic 620w Modular
or EVGA B2 if you want more juice for some reason.
Both of them have enough power for your GPU
Edit: you could usepcpartpicker to look for prices. Example: EVGA 750b2 at 40$
The EVGA SuperNOVA 750 B2 80+ is on sale for $56.99 on Amazon. For $57 it's an awesome deal. It is in the tier 2+ category, almost one of the best you can get.
here is a very quick suggestion. http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-80PLUS-Certified-110-B2-0750-VR/dp/B00KFAFRW6/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1426370230&sr=1-2
all you need is something with 4 6+2 pin connectors. You can get those connectors in several combinations but they all mean the same thing
if you pick a power supply and arent sure if it will work just repost it in here and I can tell you
By the way, I am thinking of upgrading to this psu asap: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KFAFRW6/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
I love the fact that its semi modular. Also, will it be enough if I upgrade to an i3/i5 later down the line of this year?
Thanks again!
Should I buy this before I choose a CPU or MoBo? I already bought this PSU.
*edit: for a budget PC for very light gaming
I have one of these. Green is your on off wire, it's off by default, the supply turns on when you pull it down to ground. Purple is 5 volts stand by, which means it's there as long as the supply is plugged in. Yellow is your 12v supply, which is what I'm assuming you're after. The wire isn't very thick gauge, so I'd suggest tying the like colored ones together.
And if you're interested, red is 5v, orange is 3.3v

You might want to get the EVGA SuperNOVA 550 G3. The G2 and G3 lines are pretty good. Good reputation, solid warranty, and Gold rating. It runs about $80-$100 USD.
Edit: The price of the PSU I sent ya is about $110 AUD. At least, here in the states it is.
That's a good one, but this EVGA G3 is a bit better and cheaper.

here is the G3
Ok, so this PC build is a little over the $700, coming in about $800-ish after taxes. I did go with a Ryzen 7 due to the benefits of extra cores for graphic design and other workstation tasks that you may be doing in the future. This PC should run the vast majority of 1080p games at Maximum settings and can even handle moderate 1440p gaming. Every component is found on Amazon.
I also went with a more compact, grey design that really makes your build blend in with the desktop environment while still looking beautiful from the outside. The mATX form factor also means that your PC could fit into tight spaces.
Hope you enjoy this build.

Black friday and cyber monday don't have great PC part deals. It's more for the peripherals. That being said, if you're willing to buy used, you can get a 1070 for about 200-250. Check out your local fb market place and craigslist. (offerup is a great option as well.) But if you're not, a 1660 or a 1660ti is your best bet. The 1660 goes for around low 200's while the TI is around the mid-high 200's. That being said, I would personally go for the used 1070.
For the PSU, check this one out
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MTJTO2O?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1
It's semi modular and the 600watts will be just fine.
I agree, around 600w would be perfect for this build. I recommend the Seasonic 620W (only if you have prime though) or the EVGA 600B. If you don't mind the small bit of "ketchup and mustard" cabling, these would be great. If that cabling is a deal breaker, there are more expensive options like the EVGA 600BQ.
If you can, I would get a better case, such as the NZXT h510. Also I would get this power supply instead of your current one. This one is more reliable and has a better reputation, you could say, compared to the one you selected. EVGA 600 BQ, 80+ Bronze 600W, Semi Modular, FDB Fan, 3 Year Warranty, Power Supply 110-BQ-0600-K1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MTJTO2O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_wqw3DbV79BWBB
The best and relatively easiest ways to address poor aesthetics in the CPU are a modular or semi-modular PSU and replacement sleeved and color coordinated cables from said PSU, or if they are too expensive (and they are) sleeved cable extensions look just as good and are way cheaper, but create additional cable management.
​
Regarding a cooling system you should definitely still have one even if you are not OC'ing. If you want to go cheap, get a solid air cooler like the Hyper 212 Evo. If you are more concerned about looks, maybe consider an AIO, like the EVGA CLC240. It's more expensive, but looks nice.
​
Not 100% sure what you mean about the front facing fan, but if you are asking about fan placement, then yes at the front of the case is fine just make sure it isn't going against the airflow of other fans. If you mean fan orientation, like intake/exhaust, then that is also fine, with the same caveat. Generally speaking you want your airflow coming in the front/bottom and exhausting out the top/back.

you want 2x - 8 gig sticks to make 16, not one stick of 16. Memory runs in pairs. get these ones.
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/p6RFf7/corsair-memory-cmk16gx4m2b3200c16
and when you install them, you need to install them in the right slots or it will run really slow. read the motherboard manual to see which slots to use.
you can just use that case and buy some good fans later when they start to get loud. also that power supply has really ugly cables. thats fine except you are getting a big window case and its going to look like ass. get this one instead

This will get you covered
It's good to be careful about the Power Supply you purchase. There are a lot of good brands, but EVGA is well known and reputable.
Good job on your parts list!
P.S. I don't know anything about wireless cards, ideally for gaming you should try and play over ethernet cable. Hopefully another user can help you pick a wireless card, sorry!
How about this one or even this?
It depends on what graphics card you are going to put in. This One is fine for pretty much anything aside from super high end graphics cards or sli.
EDIT: Oh, are you asking what a psu is? It stands for power supply and it takes power from the wall and distributes it throughout your system. You're going to have to rewire the system. Watch this video to learn how to do it.
I'm seeing this same one on Amazon, but with a $40 MIR? Total price ends up $39.99. How does this work? A double rebate? I haven't really done this rebate thing, would appreciate if someone could chip in on this.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073H33X7R/ref=twister_B07547XN78?_encoding=UTF8&th=1
Thanks for the list I always wonder what to buy for my next build, between this two:
https://www.amazon.de/Seasonic-Modular-Netzteil-Computer-Gaming/dp/B073H33X7R/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1524348350&sr=8-2&keywords=seasonic+prime+650
http://www2.seasonic.com/product/prime-650-w-gold/
This Seasonic 650w Gold
This Seasonic 620w Bronze
This EVGA 650 G3 Gold
Any of those would be great choices. There’s a 650w Platinum Seasonic if you wanna get real crazy for $100 after rebate. But you probably don’t need a platinum psu.
If you want even cheaper I can recommend some but you’ll lose full modular in exchange for semi or non-modular.
I don't know EU prices, but I'm always a fan of EVGA PSUs. Seasonic is also suppose to be pretty good while being slightly cheaper. Just bought a Seasonic PSU put in my wife's new build.
These are just alternatives I would trust, not sure if they meet your needs or not.
That's a pretty good build indeed, pretty similar to what I have myself. Except I would definatly try to pull a 1070ti. The 10-series are going down in price and a lot of them are actually on sale right now due to the announcements and pre-orders of the 20 series. If you do so you will probably want some 650w psu to power it and have some upgrading potential. (I recommend the Seasonic gold https://www.amazon.com/Seasonic-SSR-650FX-Modular-Warranty-Compact/dp/B073H33X7R ) Good luck dude! hope you will enjoy your pc gaming experience :)
> optiplex 9010
Ah, I think that model can't accept regular front 120mm fans
And I'm not sure about psu. I guess they do sell compact sized ATX PSU like this:
https://www.amazon.com/Seasonic-SSR-650FX-Modular-Warranty-Compact/dp/B073H33X7R/
140mm / 5.51 inches
Expensive though
"Compact" models seem to vary from 140mm to 150mm
How about this Gold PSU only 89.99 usd
Seasonic Focus Plus 650 Gold SSR-650FX 650W 80+ Gold ATX12V & EPS12V Full Modular 120mm FDB Fan 10 Year Warranty Compact 140mm Size Power Supply
https://www.amazon.com/Seasonic-SSR-650FX-Modular-Warranty-Compact/dp/B073H33X7R
If you are going to have a motherboard in your computer and you were not planning on using custom cables, a semi-modular PSU will work just fine.
Historically the TXM line has been good. Although, I would feel a lot better if you put this Seasonic in, instead (I do have a particular love for Seasonic and Super Flower, though):
https://www.amazon.it/Seasonic-Focus-Alimentatore-650W-Nero/dp/B073H33X7R/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1538748325&sr=1-1&keywords=seasonic+650
(and it is fully modular, like BeefWehelington so enjoys)
That is a low end psu not meant for gaming PCs.
This is a high end psu below $100.

Also, for reference regarding PSUs...
https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1045610-new-psu-tier-list/
https://youtu.be/QJ_VV3UjEBY
For anyone that misses the PSU(btw great deal!) Amazon has some Seasonic Focus+ units for good prices. Might be normal, but I just discovered!
[I got this 650w gold rated modular for $77 after rebate] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073H33X7R/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_MskOAbNRADKXJ)
It's not really a good PSU for the price.
Seasonic Focus Gold 550W | 650W
EVGA G2 550W | 650W
Corsair TXM 550W | 650W
Thanks for the help. So a Seasonic focus gold plus would be fine? It has the correct cables? https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Computer-Power-Supply-Components/Seasonic-SSR-650FX-FOCUS-Power-Supply/B073H33X7R

​
Would you suggesti this model for my configuration?
I suppose PSU are globally compatible but i'm not 100% sure...
> Seems like a unbelievable price to performance return point.
It really is, ever since AMD released Ryzen 1000 series, Intel's been feeling the heat. Well priced products that perform great is always good for competition.
As far as cases, I've been eyeballing this one because it has good cooling, with an acceptable price. Only real drawback is that it doesn't have a slot for an optical disk drive. Coolermaster has one with an ODD, but it isn't sold in the USA.
You may be able to re-use your case, unless it's from a prebuilt computer (particularly Dell / Alienware) your new board should fit in it just fine.
I was going to recommend This mATX case, but decided against it because I don't think your video card will fit. If you've got a stubby / short 1060 it might work, but I wouldn't bet on it.
This case is the cheapest case I can find that I'm confident will fit everything you have. $40ish.
8 GB RAM is what you need if you're gaming. 4 GB will bottleneck. If you get a 2X4 GB combo now, you can upgrade to 16 GB later with an additional 2X4 GB kit. In the meantime, look up how to take advantage of "Dual Channel RAM" on your motherboard. Also, make sure you get 3000mhz RAM, the speed makes a considerable difference on AMD CPUs.
2X4GB (8 GB total): [link] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0157UPYZ8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_WXmiDbH8KM7MB). You can select 2X8GB (16 total) if you want, but you don't need it for most games now, and if you prefer older games anyhow, it's a waste of your budget.
If you're going to splurge on anything in your new build, I highly recommend it being your PSU, especially since your old PSU likely killed your motherboard. A modular PSU will look much more tidy, since you can unplug cables that you don't need. I personally trust Corsair's RM series, though the lowest wattage (cheapest) one is still $130: Link.
If that's too much, or if your case doesn't have a Window and aesthetics don't matter, and old 500 watt PSU will do fine. 600 watts if you want some breathing room. Keep a look out for anything with a 3-5 year warranty from the manufacturer (look on their website for this info, don't trust Amazon); those are typically built better and are less likely to fail.
This is the cheapest PSU that I'd personally recommend. 500 Watts is fine for what you have, I think 450 watts is pushing on the "too low" side though.
Edit: All my links are ugly, give me a few minutes to tidy up.
Edit of edit: links tidied up. Also, 450 watts, not $450. (Near the end.)
That PSU should really be around 100-130.
buy it here CORSAIR RMX Series, RM750x, 750 Watt, 80+ Gold Certified, Fully Modular Power Supply https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079HGN5QS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_CcmVDb7TJ2PJR
Having an extra 4-pin atx connector won't give you any issues as you'll only need the 8 pin for your CPU connection.
If you're looking for a good gold psu then something like these would be good:
https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-RM750x-Certified-Modular-Supply/dp/B079HGN5QS/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=750w+psu&qid=1572035995&sr=8-3

The thermaltake one is probably fine too, but I don't know a whole lot about the quality of their psus.
I'd say swap that psu for about anything else, the brand is trouble and 1000w is total overkill. Something like this Corsair is significantly higher quality, fully modular, and on sale right now.
Edit: This handy list is a good guideline on what's worth your while.
https://www.amazon.com/HDE-Power-Supply-Tester-PCI/dp/B005UZHB6G
This is a psu tester which I should have used but did not realize it was the psu. Follow the guidelines online.
This seems to be a complex issue that we may not fully solve. We will help all we can, but this may need to be handed to a computer store.
​
Are you still having driver problems?
​
Did you format the drive after the unsuccessful Windows install? The 0xc0000428 one can be caused by installing new Windows on top of old Windows, making BOOTMGR freak out.
​
I'd order something like this to test for PSU issues, maybe the voltages are off. Make sure that they are within + or - 0.5V.
HDE 20+4 Pin LCD Power Supply Tester for ATX, ITX, BTX, PCI-E, SATA, HDD https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005UZHB6G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_05Wizb97NQZ0D
Mmm you can borrow one from a friend or a family member. From what I know there is no other way to test the PSU (or buy one of these) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005UZHB6G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_44GwCb63PZVZJ
Unfortunately I don't, I'm not sure if any programs could accurately test it as well as a physical tester would. I only have experience using something like this. Its $15 but it's an invaluable tool to have on hand that allows you to plug in the different PSU connectors and test their voltages. I find that PSU's cause a lot of problems in systems and are often the sources of many issues, so a tool like this is definitely a good investment. You may also be able to test a PSU with a multimeter but you would have to do some of your own research on that as I also don't have an personal experience doing it.
You could buy a PSU tester. They aren't that expensive.
Just make sure you get one that can test pcie power.
I recommend grabbing one of these: https://www.amazon.com/HDE-Power-Supply-Tester-PCI/dp/B005UZHB6G/ for $15. I understand you may not want to buy anything extra, but I figure that a $15 tester is better than potentially frying a new GPU.
Have you checked the warranty?

You could test the power supply with a tool like this.

Cheap power supplies eat computers. Don't blow up a 500 dollar video card because you don't want to buy a 75 dollar power supply.
Professional PC builder/technician here. I monitor the market's prices all day, every day.
If you want a temporary and affordable upgrade, your motherboard is running on the AM2 socket. Check your motherboard's model number (Usually in between the PCI slots) and look up CPU compatibility. Assuming you're not running some crappy E-Machine, your socket shouldn't be integrated, and you can pick up something like an AMD Athlon X4 and have a significant boost in power.
If you're looking to fully upgrade, pick up an LGA1150 motherboard. If you want quality and don't want to completely break your bank, go with MSI. They're an awesome mix between affordability and features. For a processor, most i3s on that socket are pretty damn powerful, and cheap. 120 bucks will buy you enough power to do -anything- that 450 you have there will need. If you want long-term, pick up an i5, about 220 bucks will take you miles away from the CPU you have now. The i7 is endgame, it's worth it if you can afford it, but not necessary by any means.
Do not waste your time picking up any motherboard older than an LGA1150. They're the same price as the older LGA1155s, unless you're buying used. Don't buy used mobos, more often than not you'll regret it.
The last thing to consider is your power supply. You're making a serious upgrade with a new processor and mobo, and you need to take power into consideration. Since you seen new to this, Let's make it simple. Google "Power Supply Wattage Calculator" and type in your specs. Go 150 watts above that, spend a lot of money on it and get something nice. Your PSU is your computer's heatbeat, you don't want it failing and killing everything else you have. Buy a nice one the first time, and it will last years and years. Try and save 25 bucks by going off-brand and lower watt, suffer possible thousands of dollars in damage depending on what you have in there.
Edit: I forgot to mention, You're going to be stepping up from DDR2 to DDR3 ram. Don't go too crazy on ram, it's all pretty similar on the base levels. Corsair makes some nice sticks, Patriot does fine and affordable but you really need to look up compatibility with it, and Crucial makes some nice stuff that's affordable. If I were to build a low level affordable PC today, my baseline would sit here:

This one PSU It fits perfectly in my case that I have right now.
Well im not that expert but the case you selected i think it comes with a frontal intake fan and another fan as exhaust on the back, which is the same as my Corsair Carbide 300R series, and trust me with only 2 fans with the case you will have a decent airflow, considering the videocard has its own and also CPU which it really depends on what you want, but take a look at this one for your CPU (if you dont want liquid cooling), COOLER MASTER EVO HYPER 212!
But for the PSU i bought a Corsair 800gs one and let me tell you its reliable, take a look at this one Corsair CXM 750W! , if anything else i can help with let me know.
UPDATE: The version on the pcpartpicker was SEMI MODULAR not non modular (which comes with all cables attached to it), CX 750W CORSAIR NON MODULAR!
this is the lowest price non-modular $70. Anything lower seems to sacrafice quality

I'm so very lucky and grateful to truly not have legitimate needs in my life right now.
I would love to have this computer part for my husband though. He graduates in December, and has always taken care of myself and our son.
Your video card is going to be underpowered vs your CPU, and something like this is going to be better for you if you don't want to break the bank. Some other things, are you wanting wi-fi, an optical drive, and do you already have a mouse? And unless you're Crossfiring Video Cards, you don't need a 750 Watt PSU. Here's a good 600W one. But if you really want a 750W, this is a good one.
No. Never cheap out on a PSU. If a hard graphics card fails, you loose a graphics card, if a cpu fails, you loose a cpu. If a PSU fails you will potentially be destroying all of the components in your system.
Try this one: http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Builder-Series-Bronze-Certified/dp/B008RJZQSW/ . The Corsair Power Supplies are very popular within the build market and this one is 80+ bronze certified meaning it has been through extensive testing and will perform as expected.
This one also seems to be reliable: http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-80PLUS-Certified-220-G2-0750-XR/dp/B00IKDETOW/
evilucius is right. Haswell is a little more expensive, but worth it in terms of extra longevity. My bigger concern, however, is that PSU. Antec is a pretty good company, but not the best, and it's way overpriced. It may just be that is the cheapest option in Australia, but it shouldn't be. Look you can get a PSU more powerful than that by Corsair for $55 after rebate
EDIT: I forgot Newegg doesn't ship internationally. But amazon does
I got this for my card but I'm sure you can find cheaper ones than this.

I'd suggest also posting on bitcointalk as I've seen a number of good answers there about troubleshooting them. I bought 2 about a week ago and haven't had any problems. I'm using this to power 2: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008RJZQSW/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Your GPU needs 250 watts, so a 600 watt PSU is not enough to support all of your parts when you include 2 of your gpu's. I'd look into a 750 watt PSU. Try this...
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008RJZQSW?pc_redir=1397016189&robot_redir=1
You're going to need more than 8G of ram. I suggest:
Brb with update. Mobile sucks
Edit: nvm DDR4 is hella expensive. Upgrade later to just get a second of the same 8G card you have. Or buy 2 if you have the cash. You'll notice a huge difference between 8 and 16G of ram.
Also, here is a 750w power supply for cheaper. it's $69
Thanks for the reply. I have this guy -
Corsair CX750 Builder Series ATX 80 PLUS Bronze Certified Power Supply.
This is the PSU I have.
I recently built a pink case computer with help from my cousin. It runs Minecraft wonderfully and played through the new Tomb raider with it's lovely hair graphics with no problem. I'll include a list of what I got for mine as it was a similar price range without the monitor/keyboard/processor. Some of the prices might have shifted a bit though but I hope it helps.
This is my pink case, it lights up and what not. It runs cold even without all the fans hooked up. There's also this slightly cheaper pink one, they're however the only two I found.
Power Supply
Hard Drive
Mother Board
Graphics Card
Windows 7
And my Ram
I already had a spare monitor so I didn't have to buy one and mouse/keyboard sets can be gotten fairly cheap pretty much anywhere now a days. I didn't include the processor because mines old and was given to me by my cousin. I used Newegg, Amazon, and a site called Outlet PC.
Is this PSU good for the price? https://amzn.com/B008RJZQSW
What are you powering? Any thing Seasonic.Most higher end power supplies are just rebranded seasonics.I usually buy antec(rebranded seasonic)`Remember,Amps is the important thing.I try to stick with a single rail with minimam 38 amps on the 12 volt.Snag this while still avail.Newegg wants 100.00

You know, not all PSU are expensive. 30$ can get you a decent PSU that wont blow up in the first 2 years.
I've never used adapters like this, but I think this is what you'd be looking for https://www.amazon.com/Molex-PCI-Express-Video-Adapter-Converter/dp/B00DFZ7HDK/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1525207978&sr=8-10&keywords=molex+to+6+pin. Just be careful, you never know how these OEM PSU's act with aftermarket parts. I know you said it's out of the budget but whenever you can upgrade your power supply, i'd recommend it. There's cheaper name brand options out there. https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Warranty-Power-Supply-100-N1-0400-L1/dp/B00LV8TZAG/ref=sr_1_18?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1525208126&sr=1-18&keywords=500+watt+power+supply

I'm not familiar with that particular Fluke, but I Googled the manual for it and it it appears you are using it properly, however the meter itself may not be suited to checking for low voltages. According to the manual, it will automatically switch to AC or DC voltage measurement if it encounters a voltage greater than "about 3 volts." Some of the voltages you're looking for are 3.3 volts and 5 volts DC, so the meter may stay in diode check or continuity mode. If so, the beep is telling you that there is continuity, which doesn't really help. Or it could be beeping to let you know it's changing modes when you hit the 12 volt rails. And "about 3 volts" could mean 5 volts or more, depending on the individual meter.Basically, when you're taking the reading, if the meter's display doesn't show V and DC near the numbers, it's not reading voltage.
With the black probe grounded, you should get the following voltages using the red lead on these wires:
Yellow : +12V
Red: +5V
Orange: +3.3V
Blue: -12V
Gray: Should go fro 0 to 5 volts when you press the computer power button (which is essentially what you are doing when you jumper the green and black wires with a paper clip.)
If the PSU fan is not spinning up at all when you put the paper clip in and turn it on, though, the PSU is probably dead or dying.
I recommend getting a cheap power supply tester like this one. It's easier to use than a voltmeter for this purpose, and a lot safer than the paperclip trick.
Please do a jumper test on the PSU without it connected to the PC; or if you're not comfortable/familiar with that do a quick PSU test with a tester.

Having the ability to turn on the fan and the dvd but not the fan on the cpu / mobo makes me wonder if you have correct voltage or not from the psu through the mobo on the 20/4 pin outs.
OTOH, your box is what - 5-7 years old? It's possible it's dead after that length of time.
I've had zero issuess with mine. Had it about a year. I used to double check with a voltmeter but I definitely trust the results now.
I'd pick up one of these and test the PSU. If you have another PSU around, throw that in there and test it. Seems like a power issue.
OP you can get a PSU Tester for like $15, it's cheaper than getting a new PSU
Yeah returning is a good idea. Just for future info, power supply testers are pretty cheap on amazon and can be very helpful.

I just found out about a PSU tester. Alternatively if you have a volt meter, that would work as well. Please click the two links

Looks like a rebrand and I haven't checked the integrity of the reviews, but for sub $20 it's a good diagnostic tool for future maintenance/troubleshooting.
You went pretty big on everything else for only having 80 dollars to spare for a very important part of your build. Also, without knowing your cooler and other components, I can't tell exactly how many watts your PC will pull.
Those letters you're confused by normally denote model number and efficiency class (efficiency is rated in metals, going from bronze, silver, gold (golden standard), platinum, and titanium).
I found this on sale currently from amazon; https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017HA3RGE/?tag=pcpapi-20
It's a 750 watt gold rated power supply for $80 right now. If you're going to constrict your budget, this might be the best you'll get.
I'll help you out there for pricing.
Add another $50 for kb/m.
The parts listed above are similar to the ones you have and they provide a close estimate of what they go for. Totaled up, the sum is $1020. That figure might be on the higher side since some of the parts listed above are new.
Hope this helps.
Holy moses memory prices are still insane. Everything looks good but I'd get this power supply instead to give you more headroom. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017HA3RGE/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1. I'd also dial back your NVMe to 250GB and put that $115 towards an 8TB NAS drive in place of your WD drive since video editing and games are going to eat your drive. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M1BUBSO/ref=twister_B071JTHPZY?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
While I can't answer your questions about the 1070, I will suggest that you purchase a more durable power supply - especially considering there's some overclocking going on in there.
The EVGA 650 GQ 80+ GOLD is semi-modular, which will remove some of the clutter of cables that happens. The only cable that cannot be detached from it is the 24-pin motherboard connector, which is necessary anyways.
Another reliable power supply: EVGA 750 GQ 80+ GOLD

Get the EVGA GQ instead, it's better than the NEX and costs the same. I think the 750W version is 79.99 if you have Amazon Prime.
I'd probably get something like this to give you a lot of headroom
Amazon has good prices on EVGA power supplies. For this build, 650W will be more than enough. Most builds can run on 500W.. but really if it's a $6 difference then go for the 750W.

It has insanely good reviews too plus Prime shipping.
I got this one for $60 on the 11th and am still waiting. Tracking it just says it's arriving tomorrow, which is what it's said for a few days. The details do say it has finally arrived in my state.
I saw a couple deals on /r/buildapcsales for PSU's. I got EVGA 750 GQ, 80+ GOLD 750W for $60.71. Pretty sure it qualifies in that A+ tier. I would keep an eye out there. If you have time I'd wait a week or two until another deal pops up.

I think I'd need at least 500W to be on the safe side - the PC has an i5-6400 and a 750ti. So I'd rather have more than less when it comes to the PSU. With the prebuilt I have, the PSU is at the top of the case.
There was a video someone made on replacing the PSU for this particular PC. But the only other question I have, I guess, would be if any of these PSUs are safe to use and a reliable when it comes to stability?
Like a cheap Chinese psu has a risk of doing damage. Some thing like a Corsair CX550m would be perfectly fine for you. [Here] (https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-CX500M-Modular-Supply-Certified/dp/B01B72W0A2) it is for only $54

The 500-550W units will do just fine. You could run your machine on a 1500W power supply without doing it harm- though it would be terribly inefficient.
I'd recommend a Cooler Master 500-550, but I recently used one and didn't like how loud its fan was. This Corsair model I linked is a tiny bit above your budget, but it's also partially modular, meaning you only need to use the cables you NEED, and can leave the rest in the box, rather than having to hide them.
560s, being small cards, draw a maximum of 100 Watts each. I would recommend a 1000 watt psu for a six card rig, or if you want to spend a little less, an 850 watt should work too. It would be cheaper to use two 550 watt power supplies, but it would be harder to set up. You could get 1 550 watt now, which should be able to run 2-3 of those cards, then get a second one later.

Edited for automod
A quality 500 watt psu would be fine for a 1070. After some quick googling, it seems like your 7970 is fairly power hungry, that same 500w psu would be cutting it close. I'm seeing 550w as being the minimum for a 7970. I never feel good about doing the minimum, especially since you're already having power troubles. I think this 650 would be a good fit for your current build, and it would be fine for your hypothetical 1070 setup too
Or the same thing in 650W for the same price.
If it wasn't refurbished, it'd be a good deal. But since it is, no.
650W tends to be overkill these days unless you're considering an SLI or Crossfire build. At any rate, this is a better option at 650 W for sure.

Do you think I would be ok with this power supply?
https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Bronze-Certified-Modular-CP-9020103-NA/dp/B01B72W1VA
Yep, as far as i know there is nothing wrong with doing that, it is essentially the primary reason for going with higher wattage from the start, so you aren't swapping out units every time you want to upgrade something else. This is the one i just installed in my HP:
https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Bronze-Certified-Non-Modular-CP-9020122-NA/dp/B01B72W1VA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1550768410&sr=8-1&keywords=corsair%2Bcx650&th=1
​
I would say anything over 700w is probably overkill, 650w is probably even overkill for my use case but i figured better to be safe than sorry. If you do end up putting one in your HP just be aware of the fan location on the PSU itself so it's not right up against the top or bottom of the case trying to suck air in. I ended up needing to install mine upside down.

One is modular the other is semi-modular. I understand modular refers to removable cables. Does semi just mean that the power supply cable is non removable and everything else is?
Also does the rebate only apply to newegg?
Yea, that's a fire hazard level PSU with a misleading sticker. It has 23 amps? (picture blurry) on the 12v rail which is about ~270-280 watts or so.
Shady companies like to add the 5v rail to the 12v to make it look like it's a "higher grade". A real 500 watt PSU will have around 40-42 amps on the 12v.
A bronze evga 450 watt will suit you well, is cheap, and will come with the connectors you need for the 1060 (the BT is their newest line but B1s can be found for incredibly cheap - I paid around $30 USD for my old mans). Corsair and Seasonic are two other good brands.
Whats the make and model of it? I'd say target around 400/450W as a minimum for that build just to be safe. Something like this is pretty good if you don't want to spend too much.
Assuming you don't have other parts that require a lot of power, this is what I'd recommend https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LWTS2UL
So looking at your other post, and the info you provided, I have a couple comments:
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.
I got today a EVGA SuperNOVA G3 550W for $40. What a deal! But is gone now. Anyone wanting to give a random look in case it comes back again.
Proof
Thanks for the advice! I'm going to be buying this 400W supply cause I'm cheap.
On a side note, why is power usage not really looked at or even shown in the specs of many websites? It seems like an incredibly major thing, but websites like Amazon and even the AMD website don't include it in the "specs" of the cards.
I never even considered the fact that my PSU could be limiting my current GPU, but for some reason the power usage isn't even shown on the specs on the AMD website so I have no way to check if just getting a new PSU will drastically improve my system.
$27 EVGA 400W
$45 EVGA 500B or
$49 EVGA NEX750 B1
or something else under $49?
I'm looking at Amazon specifically, but if an amazing deal is somewhere else, I'll consider it.
PCPartpicker estimates 343W with the 380, but I could use a 960 instead for the 400W PSU.

PSU should be fine. around the max you could do for it. use sites like :
http://www.coolermaster.com/power-supply-calculator/
or
http://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator
both should give you around 250W of needed and recommmend 300W PSU, but if you want to get new PSU I would recommend to get 400W to 450W and not 600W that is way too big for your system.
also check that you have all cable installed to your GPU. I do not know if it needs 6-pin additional power cable. If it does and your PSU do not have it then you need new PSU. also if you go for getting new PSU. get something like this: https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Warranty-Power-Supply-100-N1-0400-L1/dp/B00LV8TZAG/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1482836063&sr=1-2&refinements=p_n_feature_keywords_two_browse-bin%3A6906983011
corsair is decent brand as is EVGA, do not get any no brand PSU. Also check carefully that you new PSU has all the connections your computer need it is HP prebuilt one and they might have some kind of propietary connectors there.
your problem is not likely to be with the PSU, but graphics drivers. here is some kind of guide.
that worked for me on spring when I moved from GTX 660 to GTX 970.
I did a little bit of research and found this PSU. It is not modular at all, meaning those wires will always be attached to the PSU. It is cheap, has good reviews, and is from a reputable brand however the cables will make it look messy.
There is also this PSU. It is semi modular, so every cord can be removed from the PSU except the 24 pin ATX cord. It is more costly, but again is from a reputable brand and has a ton of positive reviews. This one is more expensive but allows your set up to look cleaner.

You could probably bump that CPU to an i3-8100 or Ryzen 2200G without blowing the budget.
If you go the Ryzen route, the built-in GPU can do some light-gaming. The 2400G seemed to hit 75 FPS in Fortnite at Medium Quality 720P (see this Hardware Unboxed video at around the 5:00 minute mark. But the GTX 1050 is probably going to score above a 750 Ti in whatever benchmarks you see. And the Ryzen would probably need faster RAM since it's GPU performance is linked to system RAM.
Here's a modified Intel build:

The DDR-2400 was cheaper and faster than the RAM you had listed. You could drop the gaming mouse and keyboard and just go with a Logitech combo for half the price.
I should also note this takes advantage a PSU rebate. It's your same PSU, but cheaper. There are frequent discounts/rebates on PSUs in general, so it should be possible to find one in the $20 range. (EVGA has a rather cheap 400 Watt one that hit $20 several times. I'd still go with the one you listed since it seems higher quality.)
A good PSU tester is always handy to have.

Get a power supply tester. They're cheap and it's the first place I would start.
http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00Q8SUYHW/ref=sr_ph?ie=UTF8&qid=1464021675&sr=1&keywords=power+supply+tester
I would check the power supply. If the voltages are not close to the correct output or if they bounce around alot, then you can get some strange behaviors. I have a power supply tester like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Q8SUYHW/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_wIBADb7FACANH
Some Bios will show you the voltages that the power supply is putting out. Try seeing if it tells you when you get it started one time. It should only take 10-30 seconds of watching to see. if the numbers bounce around a lot then i would replace it. (They should be +3.3, -3.3, +12, -12, +5 and -5 ) They generally are not exact, but within like .1. The most important part is that they are stable and not bouncing.
ohhhh i just remembered that they sell a PSU tester online for like 15 bucks
https://www.amazon.com/Optimal-Shop-Computer-Supply-Connectors/dp/B00Q8SUYHW/ref=asc_df_B00Q8SUYHW/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=198093101467&hvpos=1o2&hvnetw=g&hvrand=12164877180442985804&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9024005&hvtargid=pla-350408071424&psc=1
I just use a Power Supply Tester
Let's assume they are not an electrician...
Using one of these would be much easier.
If they don't have a power supply tester, then /u/buddymanson 's process would rule out possible causes of failure. If the RAM is good, the next most likely cause is the PSU.
I wouldn't rule out the PSU yet. Even though the fan spins up, you may not be getting the full 12v/5v/3.3v on all the rails. Another thing is the Power Good signal might not be getting sent, etc. A cheap PSU tester (or multimeter) can help rule those out. This is what I use. There are cheaper versions out there so look around.
If you're starting to have the same issue with the old original build, it could be the PSU. The PSU could be failing the PG (power good) check and taking longer than 500ms to communicate the +5v signal with the motherboard. This can sometimes allow the motherboard to power up without completing POST due to the CPU not initializing. You might can buy a PSU tester like this one - https://www.amazon.com/Optimal-Shop-Computer-Supply-Connectors/dp/B00Q8SUYHW/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=PSU+tester&qid=1555653824&refinements=p_85%3A2470955011&rnid=2470954011&rps=1&s=gateway&sr=8-4 - locally. Note that this shows the PG value on the LCD, some testers only have LED indicators to show voltage values detected.
​
Unfortunately, a UEFI/BIOS update won't solve the issue as the newer boards already support the older CPUs. The update is required for the opposite scenario where you have a newer CPU and an older Motherboard. You can also see on MSI's website that the 1700X and 2700X are both supported on the initial UEFI/BIOS revision (7B79vA0) that shipped with the board back in March of 2018.
​
I assume that the GPU is being used in both configurations but if it's not and you're using a different GPU that doesn't require the additional 6+2 PCIe power connections, make sure that the power is connected to the new card as-well-as the appropriate location on the PSU.
​
If possible, a good way to eliminate other variables would be to POST test the components outside the chassis with only the minimum required for POST. You can setup the board on the box it came in with the CPU+Heatsink installed along with the RAM and GPU. Connect the monitor to the GPU (Not the onboard ports as they are not usable with your CPUs and they would be disabled regardless by default with the installation of the discrete GPU. If the board is able to POST then you can look into the other connections and standoff locations to see if anything is causing a short such as a standoff touching the board or a damaged USB port.
​
With the information provided thus far I would suspect the PSU or a connection issue somewhere.
Order this power supply tester and see what it says.

Since you've tested with 2 different PSU's with the exact same result, it almost certainly just sensor inaccuracy/error. The voltage isn't actually that high, the sensor is just reporting the wrong number. Of course the only way to verify PSU voltages 100% is with a PSU tester like this, or probing the pins with a multimeter as mentioned previously.
The first step I'd recommend is checking VRAM usage and GPU temps (temperature more so, a 1060 has more than enough memory to handle Overwatch).
If temperature is fine then try reseating the card itself and the power connector and make sure both are secure.
If it comes down to it, try using DDU to completely remove the drivers and then reinstall.
From there make sure the PSU has sufficient wattage and is able to deliver the correct voltage (if you don't have a tester this one is pretty good).
Lastly, if none of that works, the card itself might be faulty. Try swapping the cards. Put the wife's 1060 in your machine and put your 1060 in her machine, then test both. If that fixes it for her and your machine now has the problem, the card itself is bad. If that doesn't change anything something else in her machine is faulty.
6 years seems pretty decent for me, personally I consider anything over ~5 years long enough to start considering upgrading anyways.
PSU failures are pretty rare. You can get a tester for them if you're worried similar to this https://www.amazon.com/Optimal-Shop-Computer-Supply-Connectors/dp/B00Q8SUYHW
For 30 Euros more I'd absolutely say get the 1660 TI.
You'd be surprised at how often new parts go bad. Defects are actually a very common thing. So if your solution doesn't fix it try looking into buying some sort of power supply tester.
[This is the one I use at my shop] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00Q8SUYHW/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1467820928&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=power+supply+tester&dpPl=1&dpID=51BT85YewlL&ref=plSrch)
It works pretty good and is cheap
I ran Prime95 with no restarts, so I guess that means CPU and motherboard are fine?
I ran FurMark and my PC restarted 5 seconds into the test.
Is there a way to figure out if my PSU or GPU is at fault? It has to be one or the other right? Test PSU with voltage meter like this amazon . How would I test if its the GPU? I don't have extra parts to swap with.
Get something like this to test the PSU if you're not sure. It doesn't have to be that exact one, I just searched on Amazon for PSU tester and clicked the first one that looked decent.

So not this one either?
If you can go to a Microcenter I'd get a Ryzen 5 3600 and a B450 Tomahawk both from there to save some and to have them do the BIOS update for you, then I'd get some cheaper RAM, a better SSD, a cheaper HDD, a better GPU, and a cheaper, better PSU (backordered at Amazon for $61 right now).

Could anyone tell me if this power supply is fine for the proposed components below:
-Ryzen 5 3600
-212 Cooler Master
-some 16GB 3200mhz 8gbx2(haven't decided)
-RTX 2060S/2070S
-ASUS X570 TUF MB
-two SSDs(probably one M2 and a 2.5")
-a couple fans, maybe RGB.
Plans to do some mild-moderate overclocking.
I think it should be good it terms of power output but I haven't done enough research to know if the semi-modular design would affect my potential build.
Thanks!

Thanks for the advice! I don't personally care about the ram color, so I probably will get cheaper ram.
What would the 80+gold evga do better? I don't understand what the difference is, so I went with a popular model from other builds

Is this EVGA 750W Gold PSU sufficient for a 9900K + RTX 2080 build? It seems that even with overclocking the peak wattage is around 650W not 750W (I think 750 is for 9900K + 2080 Ti).

Change the parts as you wish. The Amazon page is for new Zealand (I hope).
Every time you choose your parts just search in Google "power supply calculator" select "outervison". So that you know just how much wattage you will need :)

Making the large price difference?
Personally I’d go with a better cooler. Perhaps a Noctua NH-D15 for 100 dollars. If that’s too expensive you could opt for a EVGA AIO . Also, I think if you cut down to a 2tb hard drive and 500gb ssd, you could afford a more powerful power supply. I’d recommend atleast 650-700 watts for this build, 600 is cutting it close IMO. Here is a 750w gold rated psu from EVGA, which is cheaper than the one you picked IIRC. Anyway, happy building!
Which of these would you recommend?

Or something else? I think $150 is my upper range of what I'm willing to spend on a new PSU
Good luck, the best thing about psu's is the fact that the work with everything plus 20 bucks is worth it for the efficiency (FYI, I believe there is another evga gold one for $79 which isnt fully modular though and not by the same division (superflower who are known for high quality) but a good deal none the less

) although psu shouldnt be a priority, plus good call on the 1070
Ah OK, so they should work then. Hopefully we can squeak by for now with what he has on that end. I was looking into the power supply you posted and noticed there is one on sale on Amazon for the same price but it looks to be higher wattage:

(I just did this quick and rough btw don't hate)
I was thinking Corsair Semi-Modular ATX CX550M Power Supply CP-9020102-NA
Your PSU has 2 +12-volt rails, each rated at around 228W max load. One is typically assigned to primarily power the PCIe bus, and the other runs your CPU (in addition to some other things).
The problem: Even though the RX 580 reports a TDP of 185W, AMD's GPUs are known to push far past this rating. Your RX 580 will regularly attempt to consume more than 228W, which is more than its power rail can handle.
The solution: get a modern PSU. Most modern PSUs will not use 2 +12v rails like this one does. If you want to be sure, check the power chart for the PSU, and if it displays +12V1 and +12V2, then it has 2 rails. Get one with only one +12V rail.
I'd recommend the Corsair CX 550M, but your PC will do fine with 450W.
If you don't want to shell out for another PSU you can always downclock+undervolt your GPU by ~10%.
Unfortunately, with PSUs the quality is directly related to the price. Better quality = more expensive. You won't find a decent PSU for 30 USD.
The cheapest I would recommend is the CXM 550W right now. Prices fluctuate as sellers offer discounts and price cuts.
Amazon is having a pretty good sale right now
Can this Power supply power two rx480s and an i5 6500?

Is there any other psu you would recommend? The one on the list doesnt have good recent reviews https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Bronze-Certified-Modular-CP-9020102-NA/dp/B01B72W0A2/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=Corsair+CXM+550+W+80%2B+Bronze+Certified+Semi-modular+ATX+Power+Supply&qid=1568434648&sr=8-2
Nice great monitor.
I'd go for slightly cheaper case. Either the Meshify C is a great option or the Cooler Master Masterbox if you wanna stick with the RGB.
I'd go a little higher end on the PSU. The Seasonic Focus Plus is a great tier 1 PSU and fully modular but if you don't want to spend more then go for a Corsair CX series which is semi modular at least. Or if you wanna maintain the RGB theme you could go with this Thermaltake PSU.
Double your SSD capacity and get a higher tier one for only a few bucks more with the WD Blue.. Or go with a M.2 form factor one since your MOBO has a slot for it.
Just some ideas. CPU and GPU are good combo, as is the RAM.
For this rig I would get 80+ gold modular or semimodular 500-600W PSU.
Something like:
https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Bronze-Certified-Modular-CP-9020102-NA/dp/B01B72W0A2/
or
https://www.amazon.com/Seasonic-SSR-550FM-Semi-Modular-Warranty-Compact/dp/B077916ZZV/
You may want to get 600-700W instead if you are going to upgade motherboard and cpu to ryzen 3900x or power hungry gpu.

Also NEVER cheap out on the psu.

If you upgrade to ryzen then you are pretty much getting rid of the system your friend gave you, some suggested upgrades from me personally would be upgrading your cpu and ram and getting a graphics card, and maybe a new power supply, here’s some links to a few parts that would be compatible with your current build.

This puts the total to around 400, leaving you about 300 for peripherals and a monitor or two
EVGA hasn't included the B3 in it's product chart yet, but it's modular, has japanese caps on the main PCB, a silent fan mode, and 5 years of warranty vs. 3 years for the other bronze PSUs EVGA has.
Edit: You can also get the Corsair CX550M.

https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Bronze-Certified-Modular-CP-9020102-NA/dp/B01B72W0A2
Just googled the power supply, never heard of it in my life, so, I can't necessarily vouch for it's quality, but that should give you some sort of indication.
The fact that it's from an unknown brand doesn't sit well.
Edit: upon some googling the only thing I could find about that power supply is that it's made by some company called AmacroX which is apparently a France based company? I'm actually not entirely sure if there's regional differences on PSU's, I know power delivery is different by region, may want to look into that if you're outside of America, searching around on google has given me no clear answers.
Edit 2: Did some more googling and research on regional power delivery than I ever expected to do, the model I sent is universal, no worries.

The CXM actually does fit but Amazon marked it incorrectly, but I found a seasonic psu that is also 140mm in depth, it's 11 dollars more expensive but it is gold certified and is newer.

This is a good psu and it’s semi modular
Is one of these PSUs significantly better than the other?
I'm looking specifically at a 550 watt Corsair and a 600 watt EVGA.
These two brands seem to be the most common and are both highly rated, but now I can't decide which one I want. Googling around for comparisons only turns up comparisons of top-of-the-line models so I'm not sure how these cheaper models compare.
Two of these for the monitors would be greatt. 23", IPS, slim bezels, 75Hz, freesync.
I'd probably replace the PSU. Raidmax isn't exactly know for quality units. I'd suggest going with this unit.
1050ti is arguably the best budget card. For PSU, go with this.
EDIT: Wait, I should ask, which one?
This one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B72W0A2/
Also, don't forget you'll need a new motherboard for the 9400.
What about the EVGA BQ?
Aren't the new grey label CXM supplies supposed to be good? I've seen people saying that they aren't garbage like the green label ones.
https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-CX550M-BRONZE-Haswell-Modular/dp/B01B72W0A2/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1478997243&sr=8-3&keywords=550+power+supply

this?
Thanks a lot for the recommendations! I'll do as you suggested.
I also forgot to add a power supply.
This should do fine right?https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01B72W0A2
Compatible? Yes. Recommended for an 8700k system? No.
The "Haswell" compatibility thing had to do with a change between 3rd gen and 4th gen processors and how 4th gen handled power in certain scenarios (the C7 sleep state, in particular). It's mainly to say that you shouldn't really use a PSU from earlier generations on a system 4th Gen or later (though, technically, there isn't anything that could stop you, as they have the same plugs and pinouts).
For an 8700k/1070 system, I would recommend nothing less than 600w Bronze rated, particularly if you want to overclock (which, with a k series processor, you likely do). Even then, while adequate, I would really recommend something 600w or more, and Gold rated.
The 80+ "Colour/Metal" rating on power supplies is in regards to efficiency, and with that, overall quality of the PSU (compared to other PSUs from that manufacturer). There's 80+ White, 80+ Bronze, 80+ Silver (which isn't common), 80+ Gold, 80+ Platinum and 80+ Titanium, going from lowest efficiency (and typically lowest component quality and warranty length) to highest efficiency. The one you linked is of the lowest efficiency rating
It's all about how much power a PSU draws from the wall in order to give you the power your computer needs. The extra power drawn is generally bled off as heat waste. So, the more efficient the PSU is rated, the less "extra" it needs to pull from the wall, and ultimately the less heat it generates in the process. So, while they cost more, the higher rated the PSU, the less it'll cost you on your power bill (compared to the same wattage at a lower efficiency rating), the less heat will radiate into the system, and the less the fan will need to run (which means less noise).
It can also affect overclocking, as the more efficient units will also typically supply a cleaner (more even, less spiky) power delivery to the components, which helps stability when pushing your speeds.
As a minimum I would recommend something like this EVGA or Corsair, and would personally choose something like these Gold rated EVGA or Corsair units.
I would also recommend looking up the PSUs on ca.pcpartpicker.com, as they will pull pricing from a number of different Canadian PC part retailers (including Amazon) and allow you to see the difference and pick the lowest option (though, they don't always factor in shipping costs, and it doesn't always immediately update if it's out of stock at a particular retailer).

For the PSU is something like this one okay? [CORSAIR CXM series CX650M 650W 80 PLUS BRONZE Haswell Ready ATX12V & EPS12V Modular Power Supply!] (https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-CX650M-BRONZE-Haswell-Modular/dp/B01B72W1VA?tag=bom_tomshardware-20&ascsubtag=site:thus|tid:98081498178748228&SubscriptionId=AKIAIPWQY5MS2ASMLWOQ&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953)
And I don't plan on overclocking. I didn't know the processor already comes with a cooler, I'll just use that one.
I'm not too familiar with how fast M.2 speed is compared to the Sata SSD, but just from taking a quick look at 240gb ssd's on amazon they seem to be at the ~$90 price range. I don't mind spending an extra ~$8 in this case, but I'll keep an eye out for cheaper ones.
Thank you for the advice!
https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-CX550M-BRONZE-Haswell-Modular/dp/B01B72W1VA?th=1
Looks to be cheaper than the G2 supernova however it is bronze compared to gold. What does that mean and is it a big deal?
My current PSU This is the PSU (Corsair 650w) that I have currently, and it has served me well. It is a 650w semi-modular Bronze rated PSU. I've also had good luck with EVGA's PSUs as well. This link is to a higher efficiency but similar wattage PSU from EVGA - This is the link
I would get a 500 or 650 watt power supply. Like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Bronze-Certified-Modular-CP-9020103-NA/dp/B01B72W1VA/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1549986753&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=650+watt+bronze+power+supply&dpPl=1&dpID=41h2NmpC0DL&ref=plSrch
So something like this would be better?
EDIT: Actually I bought this one which does include "OVP, UVP, OCP, OPP, SCP and OTP", hope that's ok.

Is it the best power supply? No. Will it do its job day in and day out without blowing up? Yes.
Plenty of wattage for almost any system, 80+ Bronze, semi-modular, decently sleeved cables. On the other hand it has pretty average 12V ripple. That can affect overclocking a little. But if you just need a PSU that will be reliable and not self-destruct, it will work just fine.
https://www.techpowerup.com/review/corsair-cs650m/11.html
This power supply is perfect for your build https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Bronze-Certified-Modular-CP-9020103-NA/dp/B01B72W1VA/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=corsair+650w&qid=1572112258&sr=8-2
​
You can get the EVGA if you want. But having a semi-modular psu just makes it a little easier to install since you only use the cables you need. But either one is fine.
You'll be cutting it really close then at 800. Go for a ryzen 5 2600x and an Rx 590 8GB card.

Alright, I currently own a Cooler Master elite v2 550w, that I bought to test if my motherboard or power supply was fried a while ago. Do you think the cables would look horrible?
Current
Power Supply I would buy
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.
I agree. You'll get more bang for your buck with this one too. It's the recommended supply from Outer Vision's calculator.
>This has been said so so so many times but I want to get it stuck into everybody's head TO NEVER BUY A CHEAP POWER SUPPLY. While cheapening out and buying used cpus/gpus etc are okay do not ever buy an unreliable power supply.

I can't access amazon.ca through my company firewall but something like this PSU would be ideal.

If I were to buy a new PSU, what are the things I should look out for?
https://www.amazon.ca/EVGA-BRONZE-Warranty-Tester-100-B1-0450-K1/dp/B01F5LX55K/ref=sr_1_22?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1494703561&sr=1-22&keywords=evga+power+supply
I found this but not sure if it'd fit into my case.
24pin connector for mobo, 8 pin pci-e power cable, 8 pin cpu cable.
Something like this would work perfectly.
You can get a 450W EVGA 80+ Bronze PSU for only $35. There aren't too many decent power supplies cheaper than that anyway.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01F5LX55K
The only real reason to go with something lower capacity is if you want to use a Pico Power Supply.
So it doesn't look like you have a 6 pin power (And I mean look, because im just going off random pictures). Yop can pick up a proper power supply and plop it in. Probably run you $30 to $50.
This page actually has a handy video on replacing it. https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02879451
And here is a power supply that doesn't look sketch as fuck
https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-BRONZE-Warranty-Tester-100-B1-0450-K1/dp/B01F5LX55K/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1499747920&sr=8-4&keywords=power+supply+bronze
You could also return the card and get a 1050 Ti, which has versions that don't need the connector, but there is potential to run into issues there also, lets just assume a return is out of the question)
I was planning on getting this since it's what I can afford
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01F5LX55K/ref=psdc_1161760_t1_B00H33SFJU?th=1
This is my planned build:
I'm recycling the HDD of my dell (1TB) and getting a 128GB SSD 6.0gb/s
Any PSU you could recommend for this?
You need an updated bios for the motherboard in order to support that CPU so either get B250 motherboard or an i5 6500 CPU.
SSD: Don't buy the Kingston V300 model it's notoriously bad vs any other budget SSD.
GPU: In that price I'd recommend getting RX 470 or 480 instead. 1060 6GB if you want Nvidia I don't recommend getting a 3GB GPU for a new build even for 1080p gaming.
PSU: a 300W PSU is cutting it close recommend getting at least 450-500W. This was the cheapest that'll work although I'd recommend getting the 500B unit if you can afford to: https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-BRONZE-Warranty-Tester-100-B1-0450-K1/dp/B01F5LX55K/
ACTUALLY, I just found a deal on an EVGA 450W PSU on Amazon for $29.99. Would this be a fine substitution for the EVGA BQ500W, as PC PartsPicker is estimating that the build will only be drawing 214W of power on average?
EVGA 450B
https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-BRONZE-Warranty-Tester-100-B1-0450-K1/dp/B01F5LX55K
Very basic psu
I figured some stuff like that. Also noticed that my motherboard has the C states option in the bios on automatic, but can be totally turned off without issues.
What do you think of this one? https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-BRONZE-Warranty-Tester-100-B1-0450-K1/dp/B01F5LX55K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1488037658&sr=8-1&keywords=evga+450w for some reason I can get it at half the price than the seasonics or their 600b counterpart.
havent found any hard reviews about this PSU, just customers saying its a good one, and if its the same than the 600b I had for over half the price, I could go with this option since I dont really draw that much power.
I know I shouldnt cheap out on the power supply, but isnt like its a bad brand or that I had a bad experience with the 600b.
Okay, thanks
I was going to buy this, but as it's not avaliable in my country, I'll go with this one

Gonna figure out something for the case soon or just make one. Checked the parts to see if they're compatible and they seem fine together but I could be wrong. This won't be a profitable build, I'm aware but just for fun. Total cost just a little above 700 at 764

Here's the comparison of the two

I would also go with a larger air cooler or get a 240mm cooler if you really wanted to go with liquid cooling instead of the H60
edit: If you want to do a 970, you'll need a beefier power supply, here's one that isn't that much more expensive
https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Modular-Warranty-220-G2-0550-Y1/dp/B01LWTS2UL?th=1
I'm a big fan of the EVGA Super Nova series. Here it is on Amazon
CPU - Intel i5 8600k $239.
CPU Cooler - Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO $30.
Motherboard - MSI Z370-A PRO $100.
RAM - Patriot Viper Elite Series 8GB DDR4 2400MHz $81.
SSD - PNY CS1311 240GB $70.
HDD - Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB $44.
Video Card - Zotac GeForce GTX 1050-Ti 4GB mini $200.
Case - NZXT S340 Black $70.
Power Supply - EVGA SuperNOVA G3 80+ Gold 550W $70.
Total Price: $904. Throw in Windows for an additional $90-$100. It's really hard to get a decent PC to be under $1,000 nowadays with the price of RAM and GPU's :( I think this build will suit you best though. It's definitely not bad,
Amazon Link
Ryzen works great with Nvidia graphics cards. No issues there.
For powering your rig, the GTX 1060 is rated at roughly 120W and your CPU is ~130W at load. So, I would recommend you a quality 550W to 650W power supply for plenty of room to overclock and remain efficient. E.g. The EVGA SuperNova G3 550W Gold
Excellent choice of CPU/GPU for the games you play. Should be a very good experience.
Another option for only $5 more.
EVGA SuperNOVA 550 G3, 80 Plus Gold 550W, Fully Modular, Eco Mode with New HDB Fan, 7 Year Warranty, Includes Power ON Self Tester, Compact 150mm Size, Power Supply 220-G3-0550-Y1 https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01LWTS2UL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_OK20AbHQKB8NC
G3 should be the same price as the G2 right now, at least on Amazon.
https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Modular-Warranty-220-G3-0550-Y1/dp/B01LWTS2UL
It is literally just an improved version of the G2 platform. SuperFlower Leadex was the OEM series of the G2, G3 is v2.
Thanks for the response!
I'll look into the Z270 and try and see what kind of prices I can find. Thanks for the suggestion!
In regards to the PSU, I found these two options on sale as well:
The second one is A SuperNOVA G3, but it's only 550W - would that not cut it?
Lastly, the ram choice is due to the fact that an ITX mobo is only going to have 2 ram slots, and while I think I'll only ever need 16gb, I was trying to leave the option open to splurge for a second piece. I did look around for 2 x 8gb, but I didn't see any sales that would save me anything major. Are there performance concerns when using just one stick?
Thanks again!
EVGA G3
G3 is their latest PSU lineup; there may be G2s for cheaper. Fully modular, silent operation, 'Supernova' monitoring software.
> I kind of need you to explain it to me like i'm five. My PC's specs are adequate to run games on ultra save for one component
Actually list said specs.
> However I was told that upgrading from a 745 to a 1080 might require a new power supply
Most definitely the case, yes.
> that new power supply might require a new case
Generally NOT the case.
You need to be more specific. Firstly, do you know what ARE your current specs? Secondly, if it's a prebuilt then indeed, this can come with non-standarized parts. But in that case problems can lie deeper than just having to replace a case and PSU. Because even your motherboard can use proprietary connectors that can be only found in that already existing PSU... and suddenly it becomes a reallllly annoying problem to fix.
One way or another - you likely will need to open the case and take some photos of what's inside. Then look for a label on your PSU and paste a photo of it here (or at least write down it's full model name. And no, there are no software ways to tell what PSU you actually have).
In general - I wouldn't go near a GTX 1080 without a good 500W PSU, for instance this 550W one.
Yup, gold is definitely the way to go. For your build, a 550W or a 650W be enough for a lot. I've tried EVGA, they are a great company!
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LWTS2UL/ref=twister_B01LXKQ07C?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Above is the G3, fairly new line of EVGA's modular 80+ Gold Black cables. Only $5 more than the G2.
Why choose this, you may ask? It's new, it's modular, it's 80 Gold, and it got black cables so your cable management can look super nice over your preferred case.
Also, the Sandisk SSD is okay, but I would much rather get a WD blue or a Crucial MX300 for the price. Unless it's a hand-me down, it's fine. https://www.amazon.com/250GB-Internal-Solid-State-Drive/dp/B01LXDQX35/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1496963328&sr=8-8&keywords=crucial+mx300
You're a really nice guy, congrats!
EVGA Supernova 550 G3, 80 Plus Gold 550W - PSU - 69.60$
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo - CPU cooler - 25.83$
I'm using Cooler Master for 2 years and it's very quiet.
The PSU has a Gold standard and my brother use it since 2015, it very reliable and works very good.
First of all thank you so much for the time you put into it and I do not have the parts but I already had a motherboard in mind but I’ll look into a ryzen and I’m most likely going to get that gpu [this psu](EVGA Supernova 550 G3, 80 Plus Gold 550W, Fully Modular, Eco Mode with New HDB Fan, 7 Year Warranty, Includes Power ON Self Tester, Compact 150mm Size, Power Supply 220-G3-0550-Y1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LWTS2UL/)
Edit: the rx 570 is atx this is a micro atx build
Then your choices for a case are only limited to itx, nearly every tower case you come across will support mATX and ATX, then you have Full Tower cases that would make that little motherboard seem out of place. Tons and tons of good options from $60 and up.
As others have touched on, a good modular power supply unit will not only be more efficient/reliable (especially if you want to OC anything!), it will help take care of cable management. I have always went for "full modular", semi modular will have a 'pony tail' with the motherboard, cpu, and gpu connectors rolled into one. It's nice to be able to route each PSU cable where you want imo.
So then there are your two main issues, cable management and airflow. You have a decision to make regarding the case, I understand liking how a prebuilt case looks because some do look nice. If you want to stick with that case you need to figure out how to mod it to increase airflow. Generally speaking, switching to a aftermarket case will be simple and increase your cooling performance twice over without having to mod a thing.
I use and always recommend EVGA PSU's because they generally perform great in benchmarks and come with a 10yr warranty: 550w Gold
If it were me I'd build in this case just for the hell of it for $40: CM Masterbox
Here's another case that would be good in your situation: Corsair Air 240
All depends on your budget.
Hey all, new builder here. I'm building a PC as a small Plex server, Netflix/YouTube streamer and possibly hosting a couple of virtual machines. Im wondering what kind of PSU I should get? I have a Ryzen 2400G and will be using 2 HDDs and 1 SSD.
Obviously prefer as inexpensive as I can get. Would something like the EVGA Supernova 550 br sufficient? https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Supernova-Modular-Warranty-220-G3-0550-Y1/dp/B01LWTS2UL/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1543061898&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=evga+supernova+550&dpPl=1&dpID=51Z7xl7vVpL&ref=plSrch
Amazon doesn't appear to have any cheap PSU deals. Closest I can find is:
550W G3, $50
Not bad, but not matching what you can get on other sites.
So, I still have to realize I'm on a budget, but I found this one here. It's a 550W 80+ Gold rating. What do you think?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LWTS2UL/?tag=pcpapi-20&th=1
This is a bit more than my current budget, but is it worth it?

Thank you so much for that very informative and helpful reply and taking the time to help me! So I think this is what I should go with then?
EVGA Supernova 550 G3, 80 Plus Gold 550W, Fully Modular, Eco Mode with New HDB Fan, 7 Year Warranty, Includes Power ON Self Tester, Compact 150mm Size, Power Supply 220-G3-0550-Y1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LWTS2UL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_vBYNBbD4YVVV4
Some of the more recent reviews for it on NewEgg say that people get it and it fails or has coil whine. This sub inparticular is a huge fan of the EVGA power supplies since their customer support is great and they have a big range of options that tend to be very reliable. Don't skimp on the PSU unless you have to. You can get the EVGA equivalent of what you have here for only a bit more. The deal is pretty good though and I'd say if your budget is tight it should be good.
If I had to point my finger at your problem, it'd definitely be that. There's an old expression when it comes to PC building: Never cheap out on your power supply. Sorry to be a dick, but the one you picked up is definitely doing exactly that.
I'd return your power supply to Amazon as defective, and get something like a Corsair TX550m as it'd be a colossal upgrade in power supply quality. If you want to stay with EVGA, they sell some really great power supplies (the W1 just isn't one of them), you might consider the G3 550W.
https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Modular-Warranty-220-G3-0550-Y1/dp/B01LWTS2UL/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1503025897&sr=8-1&keywords=EVGA+SuperNOVA+550+G3
This right?
The EVGA SuperNova G3 550W will work just fine for the build in your flair (recommended wattage is around 300 watts). It's a tier one gold certified fully modular PSU. NewEgg has the G3 for $80, but it drops to $60 after a $20 rebate card. Amazon also has it, but for $80 and no rebate.
It is, for a few reasons. First, an 80+ rating of any kind shows it's proven to be stable. Since it's 80+ Gold Rating, that's going to be plenty good for anything needing up to 440w of raw output under a heavy load. Second, EVGA takes great care to ensure that their parts are well put together.
The only con to this (if it really is much of one) is that it isn't modular. Going with modular would make cable management a ton easier on a new build, as you can only plug in what you're using. It does come at a premium though. You don't need modular, but keeps the mess down.
You can see EVGA's 550w 80+ Gold Modular here for $95, so a decent amount more: https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Supernova-Modular-Warranty-220-G3-0550-Y1/dp/B01LWTS2UL
Looks great man! I would just switch out that psu for a much higher quality one such as this (I would recommend something like a 550w or even 500w for this build as 650w is a bit overkill but who am I to say since I ended up getting a EVGA G3 650 this past summer for my gtx 1060 and r5 1600 build haha): https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Modular-Warranty-220-G3-0550-Y1/dp/B01LWTS2UL/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1506353119&sr=1-1&keywords=evga+g3+550w
Edit: If that is out of your price range for this build, check out some of the modular seasonic psu's as they are cheaper but still of great quality.
https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Modular-Warranty-220-G2-0550-Y1/dp/B01LWTS2UL?th=1
I got the 750w G2 a few years ago and it is still going strong through several builds. Modular so you can swap cables for color or troubleshooting. The G3 model is newer with what appears to be a better fan (correct me if I'm wrong, folks).
Can't speak on the customer service experience with EVGA, but from what I've seen they're pretty good. The products speak for themselves.
I had an Antec EarthWatts prior to this and it held up very well for a lower end build (not much power consumption) so that may be another brand you could look into if you don't need a beefy PSU.
However, the PSU is the major component of PC builds - DO NOT go cheap! Get the best model for your consumption, and if you plan on a beefier build later on, go ahead and spend a few extra bucks for more wattage with that good brand. Some PSUs can go through several builds before becoming obsolete.
Amongst other upgrades, I highly recommend purchasing an 2.5-inch SSD for your operating system, like this Kingston one on Amazon. Plug it in alongside your hard drive, install Windows 10 from a USB thumbdrive onto the SSD using these instructions from Microsoft, and then install drivers from HP. Finally, change your storage folders (Documents, Pictures, Videos, etc.) over to folders on the hard drive. The improved read-write performance for games loading from an SSD will help ameliorate any drawbacks from system age.
Also, if you're going to upgrade your PSU, DO NOT SKIMP on it. It is the single thing most likely to fry your computer and start a fire. I recommend ones like this EVGA G3 550W 80plus Gold one or a similar PSU from a reputable brand like Seasonic or Corsair.
This seems like a good deal:

im on a tight budget not trying to go over 1k but do u think i could just choose a different PSU ? same brand as one u were talking about just lower tier this is the link https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MTJTO2O/ref=psdc_1161760_t2_B01B72VXE6
1-Intel stock cooler sounds like a jet engine and will leave your CPU in 80s for any long gaming session. It also matches his color scheme much better than the stock coolers, and it has a higher TDP allowance than both.
2-Windows 10 and a monitor took up that budget, and I don't want OP to have a permanent watermark.
3-Do you think for gaming with a 6GB graphics card, he'll need more than 8GB of RAM?
4-It has 4.5 stars on amazon with 3,570 reviews, which is insane for really any product on Amazon, and the reason it's so cheap is that B&H has a price drop for it.
5-Included a Z370 board so OP wouldn't have to buy one for another $100+ down the line. It also has more features, another reason to get it for long-term use.
Alright you're good with 600W psu, recommend my PSU which is a semi-modular EVGA BQ 80+ 600WIt will let you do nice cable management (Please for the love of God do cable management it helps so much)
Here is a guide on how to do cable management

Same thing... Decent PSU but just a little pricey for a 600W Bronze
https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Bronze-Modular-Warranty-110-BQ-0600-K1/dp/B01MTJTO2O you think this is good? As i said im really new to this and i really want to get the best on my budget.
id say spend a few more bucks on this one
Here's a link for it:

fter looking at your machine, you should be able to install a new power supply. If you are on a budget I suggest this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MTJTO2O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_sQ0BCbQ7XE3W5
The GTX 1050 is not much of a power eater, so this power supply is more than enough.
You need a new PSU most likely. I'd suggest getting a 600w PSU and a RX 480 (which is $40 more expensive than 1050 ti) to get around double the performance of a 1050 ti.
https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-BRONZE-Modular-Warranty-110-BQ-0500-K1/dp/B01MTJTO2O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1492799566&sr=8-1&keywords=500w%2Bsemi%2Bmodular%2Bpower%2Bsupply&th=1

(NOTE: I would suggest a RX 580 or 570, but from the looks of it, they are out of stock on amazon, and its gonna be a long time before they are "Fairly" priced again).
Your 450W is probably fine. The 970 lists 500W as the minimum, but the rest of your system is pretty low power. The FX-6300 is not a very power hungry CPU, and a link to your actual motherboard model would be helpful, but only a little. It's a small board, and they don't consume much. You should be maxing out at <400W, and you should be running your PSU between, oh, say, 60% and 85% load (it's fuzzy, and newer PSUs have wider peak efficiency curves than older supplies for the most part) at all times so it runs most efficiently. If it's running too far under load or too close to its max load, your PSU is losing efficiency and running hotter and wasting electricity, and wearing out faster as a result. Many newer, higher end supplies, like EVGA's Gold- and Platinum-certified models, can even maintain peak efficiency up to 95% of their max output - we don't know your actual power supply model.
Note, if shopping for these, that their efficiency certifications apply within their peak efficiency curve - not above or below it. Therefore, most supplies that are advertised as something along the lines of "80+% efficiency" means they run that efficiently between somewhere around 60%, and somewhere around 85%, of their max output - so, roughly, between 270W and 380W on a 450W supply (and even 400W is not far above it).
If you are dead set on upgrading, you'd be best suited not putting one in with a much higher capacity unless you're going to be upgrading more on your system to more power hungry components or adding a second video card in SLI (which is losing software support as time goes on and not many people would recommend). I would not shop for more than a 600W PSU, or you're wasting your money twice over - once in buying an overkill power supply, and again in wasted electricity on your utility bill every month.
I would not say that your 450W is plenty or more than enough, but I would say a decent 450W PSU is correct for your system. I don't see a reason for you to replace it.
As a side note, you may want to check that your motherboard actually has a PCI-e 3.0 slot to use with the 970, or your motherboard could be slowing your graphics card down pretty hard. Prebuilt systems like that are usually not made with upgradability in mind - they usually contain the minimum specs for the included components, as anything else would be a waste of money.
If you do the install and find you really need the new PSU, or you're just not confident without the upgrade and want it regardless, here are two I'd recommend: 500W and 600W. You are almost certainly fine with the 500W model, but the 600W is still a good pick for you, and will allow for future major system upgrades. The 600W model also has an equivalent that's semi-modular for an extra $5, if you want easier cable management. EVGA's PSUs are extremely robust and absurdly reliable, and yes I'm shilling, because their products, warranties, and support are top notch. And they'll actually hold up consistently to whatever they're rated for.
That's a great psu or this from evga.

EVGA is one of the better brands, i don't know what that guy means by 'cheaply' made. But if you can afford it, I'd go with a modular, or at least a semi modular psu. It helps so much with wire management. For semi modular I'd recommend this one

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.
Thanks for the help! I looked for some EVGA PSUs and I found this one on Amazon. It's semi-modular but I couldn't really find reviews for it anywhere. Should I go for this one instead?
$400 for a 1060 3GB, makes me sick.I will jump into traffic if you buy that. Save yourself $200 and get a GTX 1050ti 4GB that are everywhere for $160-200. Maybe one with a 6PIN plug and overclock the shit out of it. Divert that money into an i5-8400 or just save it.
That PSU is an absolute rip off. Get this $20 cheaper and better

Intel changes their Motherboard sockets every TWO generations, so far at least. So as far as history tell us you will be able to do a bios update and put a 9th gen intel cpu in your mobo, but who knows.

I'm looking to change my PSU after nearly 6 years of regular gaming use. I've found two PSU's that look good but I need help deciding between the reliability of these two brands:EVGA BQ 500W 80 Plus Bronze or a Rosewill Photon 650W 80 Plus Gold Fully Modular. Any help figuring out the reliability of the Rosewill PSU would be great!
Pretty much anything from Corsair, EVGA, Be Quiet, Thermaltake, and that’s got a 80+ bronze rating or better. I would look for something that’s semi-modular meaning that most of the cables can be removed completely from the PSU Itself and will help with cable management down the line. A non modular PSU has all the cables connected which is what most pre-builts and lower end models have which makes it harder to hide the extra cables lol.
EVGA 500 W 80+ Bronze 66$ Amazon
thermaltake 500W 80+ bronze 44$
You should check out the site PCpartpicker.com as it has tons of hardware on there and you can check out reviews and stuff.
Trying to get a psu around $50. I'm between the seasonic 430w, the corsair cx450m and the evga 500bq. Of those three which is the best?

Yeah, what I was saying was that there isn't a GPU to swap out - you're just adding one. (There is room on the mobo) A precaution I would take before adding a GPU is checking the PSU when you receive the PC. 500 watt is very vague. Is it 80+ certified? bronze certified? If there aren't any of these markers, I'd drop 50 dollars on a new PSU such as this one as to avoid over stressing the PSU.
At that price range, I would pick one of these instead.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N3OAFHD/
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MRW2K79/
Whats the difference between B1 and BQ? I meant to add that it would be better to be modular because of the case size and the BQ looks semi Modular.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N3OAFHD/ref=twister_B01G69E69E?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1
Thanks for the advice.
Would this be a good motherboard?
I've decided to get a semi-modular PSU instead of a fully modular one. It looks for like this one, the 500W version costs exactly the same as the 600W version... So there any reason to get the 500W version?
whats the difference between this and the EVGA 500w BQ?
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01N3OAFHD/
Was looking at these two PSUs:
EVGA 500 BQ (semi-modular)
Seasonic M12II 520 EVO (fully-modular)
After shipping and tax here in Ontario, the Seasonic one ends up being an extra $10 (excluding mail-in rebate). Is 20W extra and full modularity worth that extra cash?
... no, replacing your current terrible power supply with the same terrible one is not acceptable. You are spending $700 on just a video card. You can afford to spend a couple bucks more on a power supply that doesn't kill all your brand new expensive components the second you put load on the GPU.

It's like buying a $250,000 supercar and then filling it with shit tier watered down 87 octane gas from "Bob's Gas" because it's $0.05 cheaper.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073H33X7R/?tag=pcpapi-20
change PSU to https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B073H33X7R/?tag=pcp0f-21 , worth the extra few pounds.
I'd maybe shop around for cheaper ram as £100 for 16Gb seems a bit steep.
Check if you can get a better motherboard if you have the budget.

I'm pretty stuck maybe you have another option? system draws like 400
This is a decent option: ready for prime delivery. It's not modular but it's a good psu and 700w, bronze rated.

Better quality but a bit more expensive:

And also, I've used Seasonic's Wattage Calculator as well as I've looked at the recommended Wattage according to the graphics card and the results are ~420 W minimum to 550 W recommended. So your PSU will do the job, however if you've got some spare cash I'd consider upgrading it to Seasonic's Focus Plus 650W 80+ Gold Modular power supply. Higher wattage capacity should increase its efficiency and keep it cooler as a result (plus it allows for further upgrades in the future). It's not an absolute must, however. You should check whether it's compatible if you plan to get it.
Edit: Considerably more important: buy more case fans. One case fan typically won't provide enough airflow. Atleast 2 more would be a good idea.
This is my psu. Would you use 2 cables?
Oops sorry about that part. I would get this power supply:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073H33X7R/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_R-ahDbDV248TP
It costs more but will last you a lot longer. If you plan to upgrade then the psu should be at least 650w. This one also comes with like a 10 year warranty.
Thanks so much for your help, this is extremely helpful.

You can go with two power supplies, but you don't need to do that and your case probably won't fit two supplies. Your system likely draws less than 550Watts.

Will that do the job?
Is it though, it's PRIME / Platinum that's premium for Seasonic right?
650w goes for $90 hardly budget I do agree but worth the initial hit to the wallet, mid range then? lol. The PRIME / Platinum models which are the ones I consider premium are in the 200s
As was already said, maybe up the PSU. In theory, 550W should be plenty, but on my first build all the Wattage calculators told me 520W was fine ... it was not. So I tend to err on the side of caution nowadays.
You could buy the Seasonic Focus Plus Gold 650. A bit cheaper plus 650W, what's not to like?
You could go cheaper on the cpu cooler and the case, but it depends on your overclocking plans and features you want in your case
Lost my psu cable while moving. Can I just but a random cable on Amazon or should I buy a specific type/one sold by the company?

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073H33X7R/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fPPVAb7QWTHE3
I'd recommend this one.
That other Seasonic unit is pretty old at this point. Still good, but there are improvements to be had.
I plan on going with [this] (https://www.amazon.de/Seasonic-Modular-Netzteil-Computer-Gaming/dp/B073H33X7R/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1520580943&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=Seasonic) one, because I'd be able to use it for a while.
What GPU you have? Figure a healthy 250W for everything in your system before a GPU, and add for instance ~300W for a 2080 ti, so for that total draw of 550W, I'd spec a 750 or 850W 80+ Gold to give some leeway for spikes and the efficiency curve.
On the other hand if you're going for something like a 2070, the GPU power draw would be closer to only 200W, so something like a 650W 80+Gold.
I use SeaSonic power supplies in all of my PC's.
Something like this https://www.amazon.fr/Seasonic-SSR-650FX-Modular-Warranty-Compact/dp/B073H33X7R
Amazon has the full modular version of that power supply for almost the same price ($92 vs 88).

I just found this one.
Yeah, definitely get a better PSU, the Corsair TX PSU's aren't very good and I definitely recommend you buy a better PSU if you can afford to. (I am assuming you can afford a good PSU because of the fact that you can afford a i9-9900k and a GTX 1080.
I recommend at least a 700 watt Gold rated power supply like a [Corsair RM750x](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079HGN5QS], a EVGA Supernova 750w G3, or a EVGA Supernova 750w G1+, but any decent PSU should do.
I would recommend the Supernova G3 if you are willing to handle the mail-in rebate, but if you don't want to fuss with the MIR the RM750x is what I recommend.
I understand, I guess I'll get another psu. Think this would be good? CORSAIR RMX Series, RM750x, 750 Watt, 80+ Gold Certified, Fully Modular Power Supply https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079HGN5QS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_pK2vDbAKKKWGA

One more question. Still on the fence right now since it doesn't seem needed, but do you know if the corsair RMX 750W ( https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-RM850x-Certified-Modular-Supply/dp/B079HGN5QS/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=CORSAIR%2B-%2BRMx%2BSeries%2B750W%2BATX12V%2B2.4%2FEPS12V%2B2.92%2B80%2BPlus%2BGold%2BModular%2BPower%2BSupply%2B-%2BBlack&qid=1567575819&s=electronics&sr=1-1&th=1 ) has a 12V connector?

I’m looking to get a longer psu cord. Do I get a 14AWG or an 18 AWG?
I'd go with a fully modular PSU.

These are all my selected parts
I've heard that the G3 does have problems sometimes. If your going to buy a new PSU and you want a high end one, I would recommend the RM750x (2018). I would recommend a lower wattage but I think 750w is the lowest it goes.
I have the same power supply in my cart on amazon for the build I am working on and its listed at $109 (sold by amazon).
CORSAIR RMX Series, RM750x, 750 Watt, 80+ Gold Certified, Fully Modular Power Supply
Yes
XFX's powersupplies, as those are made in the same factories as Seasonic.
Seasonic arguably makes the best powersupply units in the world, I have nothing but praise for their units.
I've worked a lot of times with the G -Series 550watt and that would be perfect for you. It's quite a bit more expensive than your current PSU, I'm always a big advocate to spending a good chunk on a PSU as it's a really important component.
this XFX TS shares tons of components with the Seasonic units.
EVGA's Supernova G2 550watt also gets a lot of praise.
I'd go with one of those models. Buy good PSU now and have nothing to worry about for years to come :)
Any opinion on wether this is a better deal?

Hello! I need a new motherboard. This is the PC I currently have I've upgraded the graphics card to a 1060 and the power supply to this one. Just wondering what motherboard is compatible with everything I've got in there. thanks! :)
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00918MEZG/?tag=pcpapi-20
How's this for the power supply?
Seasonic G 550W.
The Corsair CSM 80+Gold is inferior in quality to the SeaSonic 520W 80+Bronze you had at the beginning. If what you want is a 80+Gold rated PSU, get this one, if you want Corsair (because you have a Corsair case or whatever) get this one or this one.
The rest of the partlist is good :)
Yea this https://www.amazon.com/SeaSonic-550-Watt-CrossFire-Certified-SSR-550RM/dp/B00918MEZG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1487815087&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=seasonic+g550 seasonic g550 is currently listed on amazon for 69.99 before $10 MIR. So would this be a better buy for me over the suprnova g2 based on my budget? Amazon also is taking $8 off of purchases as well which isn't much but its still a savings I figure.
You're going to want a much higher quality PSU. For about the same price I'd recommend this Seasonic PSU. Here's another option.
alright, I'll probably just wait then. This is the PSU I was planning to get http://www.amazon.com/SeaSonic-550-Watt-CrossFire-Certified-SSR-550RM/dp/B00918MEZG/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1417305346&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=seasonic+550w
I found this one but it is more expensive:

It's $10 more for the 650W one but I am trying not to add $30 extra to your budget :)
What about the G-Series ones? I haven't heard much about SeaSonic before, but they seem popular around here.
And this is a fantastic unit for $80, if you don't need to support dual GPUs: http://www.amazon.com/SeaSonic-550-Watt-CrossFire-Certified-SSR-550RM/dp/B00918MEZG
Two options: Buy a new power supply (I recommend this one. The price is killer, and the reviews excellent.
Or just get this cable. You'll be fine. https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-2-Pack-Molex-Power/dp/B01DV1Z22K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1478306161&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=dual+molex+to+6-pin+pci
Take one 4 pin MOLEX from one cable line and another 4 pin MOLEX from a different cable line (don't use two MOLEX connectors on the same cable. This is silly, and defeats the purpose of having two connectors).
What are your thoughts on this, Seas Modular Active PFC 550RM SSR G 550 pc Power Supply 550 Watt/ATX 12 V)
I'd really not recommend that unless you're just fucking around for a few minutes. There are too many things that could go wrong. You'd be much better off just buying one quality budget power supply. I've read good reviews of the CX500M. It's better than the 750w cousin on some things and should be plenty for a pre-built with an older card. It goes for $60 on Amazon. You can also get a Seasonic 550 G-series for $80. Seasonic is a top-notch name for power supplies.
Your power supply will likely outlast your current PC by several years if it's a quality unit, and they can include some incredible warranties. The Seasonic I listed has a 5-year, but some others will have up to 10 years. The PSU is the last place that you want to skimp, IMO.
Why would you buy a PSU with uninteresting internals, when you have good PSU's at lower prices?

Seriously, consider the EVGA gold one, way superior to the Corsair CX/CXM series.
I've seen this linked as a reference for the relative quality of different PSU line-ups. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html Yours is in the tier 4 list, which is the cheap but works well enough category.
After looking around for my build, I ended up with this. Tier 2 and extremely widely recommended. Seasonic is generally accepted as being a quality manufacturer. 45.99 after MIR is hard to beat. https://www.amazon.com/SeaSonic-550-Watt-CrossFire-Certified-SSR-550RM/dp/B00918MEZG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1480098153&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=seasonic+g+series
The EVGA 600B is a few bucks cheaper, is not modular at all, but is supposedly slightly better than the Corsair CX500.
The Corsair CS PSUs are a step up from the CX PSUs, and could be good too.
I've found that PSUs are the hardest part to differentiate based on the information on newegg and the other vendor websites.

How do you feel about Seasonic? I had a few people tell me they had really good products.
I found this and it's really not a huge price difference
https://www.amazon.com/Seasonic-SSR-550RM-Semi-Modular-CrossFire-Capacitor/dp/B00918MEZG
You can get the same PSU but 100w higher on amazon.
Okay, if you think $70 is too much for a semi-modular bronze PSU then what would you suggest? I've been flip-flopping on my choices a lot lately. I've considered the Corsair CX, Corsair CS, This Seasonic one is gold and modular.
How does this compare to seasonic g series 5502 link
I am going to expand storage at a later date, my short term goal is around 12tb with a parity disk. The case has space for 9 3.5" drives and I hope to fill those. Also a little extra room for a video card is helpful. Thus the reason for a 600w power supply. How about this PSU?
I have been looking into flashing the 460 into it's quadro counter part to eliminate issues with the gpu pass through.
Performance wise would running a Linux host be faster? I wanted to pass a GPU through to Windows because when the VM is off the card will be off so I will be able to save power. The windows VM will not be running very often.
Thanks for your reply, this is my current PSU.
I found the Seasonics to be reliable (and cheaper)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00918MEZG/ref=psdcmw_1161760_t1_B00FW6EICS
Which PSU do I have? I'm not sure if you went through my post history for that but I have this Seasonic one, and I'm sure I do have enough connectors but I have 3 hard drives and other things connected to it. Although none of them use the 6 pin, the PSU is modular and only has a certain number of slots so I need to figure that part out.
EDIT: This PSU. I need to go home and check on the slots.
You need a powersupply.
If you aren't going crossfire this will be fine. PSU
This one is 500W and will work fine.
Don't cheap out on the PSU. It's not about the CPU... He's just saying that PSU is junk. Get a reliable one from a GOOD BRAND. (Super important!) Look at cooler master or corsair - http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Builder-Watt-EPS%C2%A0-CX500/dp/B0092ML0MY/ref=lp_1161760_1_3_m?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1405893912&amp;sr=1-3
In the last part of my build, currently all I have left is the GPU and CPU, will be purchasing this week. I am just curious which direction I should go, I have been pondering for a few weeks and I really don't know. School is coming up quick and I don't really have time to wait for the 1070 so I need some advice on which card to get. THE KICKER- I only have a 500w PSU and I am only going to be doing 1080p.
So I am thinking of just doing the 970, they are going for pretty cheap on hardwareswap, but I have a 300 dollar budget for the GPU, what do you all think?
EDIT- I would like to do a 980 if my PSU can handle it.
This is my PSU

Pretty good price.
I think you should consider at least a 500w PSU with a 750ti and Intel. If you have room in your budget, I'd get a CX500, or this 500w PSU that costs LESS then the one on your parts list.
This PSU
Mini-ITX setups are king of this field! Unfortunately they tend to get kind of expensive, and Intel seems to be the only only one on the boat. If you are looking for a less expensive setup, the AMD APU line is stellar for entry-mid range gaming setups ref=sr_1_2on the cheap. Here is my suggestion:

You can either go with a single 1TB HDD or a 120gb SSD and still remain in budget. I would suggest Samsung for the SSD and any old HDD will do, they are all about the same these days.
Additionally, if you wanted a boost in video game performance you Crossfire [Link the internal GPU with a Graphics card in this case] for a fairly significant performance boost. Below is a link to the card that delivers:
http://www.amazon.com/XFX-650MHz-PCI-Express-Graphics-HD667XCLF3/dp/B00AHV7NNE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1416517809&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=HD+6670
Excluding the graphics card, you are just below you $500 maximum. I would highly suggest the card if you intend on some light gaming.
Good Luck!
I got a gtx 970 and my power supply died, it was a 1050 watt and i think it died cause my old case was badly ventilated.
I wanted one of these to go with my 16 gigs of ram, and my I7 processor, is this enough or should i go to a 600 watt?
$55 will get you the Corsair CX500. Definitely don't cheap out on your power supply. Corsair has top notch quality and support as well.
personally i would recommend this if you can afford it
but this is ok if you need it to be less expensive.
the only real benefit the first one has is that its fully modular
Ok, I was just trying to find one through Amazon Prime so I could get it here pretty quick. Would this be a better option? https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-CX500-Supply-Bronze-Certified/dp/B0092ML0MY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1492720275&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=corsair%2B500w&amp;th=1
You don't want anymore RAM, you should upgrade your CPU to maybe a 1155 series overclockable i5 or i7? Or if you want a bigger upgrade, get a new 1150 compatible mobo and a 4690k or something like that. As for the GPU depending on the price range i'd suggest getting the R9 280 or the GTX 970 once again if you're looking for a big upgrade. If you PSU is less than 500W you probably want to upgrade that tpp/
If you only have $300 then you will have to be a bit canny with your upgrade. The i5 4570K mentioned is a really nice CPU, but just buying that CPU and a cheap board you will have used your entire budget - leaving you with the HD 6450 graphics card, which is really poor for gaming and will severly limit your performance in all modern games (including arma2/dayz).
Depending what your motherboard model is (which you can find out using CPU-Z http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html) you may be able to upgrade to something like an AMD Phenom II X4 965. This is a relatively powerful chip and can be found relatively cheaply second-hand (or new for $100 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103727).
With the remaining money you will be able to afford a decent graphics card - something like a HD 7850 1GB for ~$155.
However, both the graphic card and CPU upgrades will draw more power than your existing components - so the Power Supply Unit (PSU) in your current system may not be up to the task. Therefore, if a new PSU is needed then a decent quality replacement unit like this 500W corsair would be ideal http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Builder-Series-Watt-CX500/dp/B0092ML0MY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1373701374&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=corsair+cx+500w .

Total: £246
Unfortunately, in UK prices the parts are more expensive and therefore out of budget. To stick close to the £200 budget then this rather good value Asus GTX 650 Ti 1GB (http://www.amazon.co.uk/GeForce-Graphics-Dual-link-Express-Technology/dp/B009M4MAIK/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1373702235&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=gtx+650+ti ) for £85 put you at just £203 including delivery.
Those Corsair PSUs are currently going for about 47 on Amazon and NewEgg, which should include shipping (NewEgg is free standard and I have Prime, so it doesn't show).
After shipping costs and PayPal fees you'd be at about/above retail+tax and they'd be getting a new PSU instead of a used one.
Would this work as well? https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-CX500-Supply-Bronze-Certified/dp/B0092ML0MY/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&amp;dd=rCzp0GH8kYnN7-Uv3bWVyA%2C%2C&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1482157156&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=power%2Bsupply%2B500w&amp;refinements=p_96%3A10155283011
Idk if I should get the GTX 1660 ti or RTX 2060. I want to get the RTX 2060 but I’m reconsidering because I want to get the GTX 1660 ti and upgrade my cpu to ryzen 5 3600. I also have a 500w psu , which I would have to upgrade if I do get the RTX 2060. I’m on a budget, so could y’all give me your opinions.
I don't see any problems with this system, however you can probably save a little bit of money by going with this power supply. The 600W is a bit much for just this, 500W would be fine.
which of these two would you recommend?

So, something like this would work really well? What would I need to hook the power cables from this up to the car amp? Are there grounding issues? This looks promising...and for $60 - I'm jacked about it.
You don't need to get a CPU cooler if you're not planning to overclock. Your i5-4460 is not overclockable, BTW, since it does not have a K at the end (ex. 4460K). Consider also bumping it up to a 4690. I see a lot of people using it and it's great for the price. I got one myself recently for my first build.
You can save some money by getting a non-modular PSU if you don't mind not having impeccably clean cables. Check this one out.
MicroATX high-five. Your case looks very interesting. I went with this one personally.
With that low a budget I suggest getting a use Optiplex 790 MT i5 $120. Upgrade the HDD to a SSD and upgrade the PSU $45 and add your current GPU for a good system in the cheap. Plus this [WiFi card] ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016K0896K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_DVb8AbQ3ZC409) $45.
$210 total. You'll have enough to upgrade to a better GPU.
Thanks. I have tried turning it on with just the mobo, but with no RAM installed. And about the PSU, I just realized I'm not actually using that one. I'm using another one mentioned in the video. http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Builder-Watt-EPS%C2%A0-CX500/dp/B0092ML0MY/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1364752620&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=500W+Storm+Silent+LPJ19-25
That is what I'm using. I will try the things you guys suggested and give feedback ASAP.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0092ML0MY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
Hows this?
Edit: Also i see theres a modular and non-modular one, Theres also a 600 and 700 watt version, should i pick one of those instead?
With 4x 280x's you need to have ~ 1200 watts for the cards (with minor downvolting applied and about 100 for the system board. So in the 1300 watt realm its prolly better to get:
1x 1000 watt PSU with 3 cards running here this PSU
1x 550 watt psu for the system board and 1 gfx card
***
That said if your going with the 280x you might also go for bang for the buck! Just get 2x the 1000 watt PSU, skip the smaller PSU. Get 2 additional cards then this MOBO:
H81 mobo
If you are thinking of growing the board in the future this makes more sense now. You also need to get all risers (I recommend the USB 3 style also, link on sidebar of /r/scryptminingrigs)
Should I have any power consumption worries getting an r9 290 GPU if I have a Corsair CX 500w? And if so is there a manufacturer that would be better for power usage and temp? I've heard 970's have lower power consumption but I'm trying to stay as budget as possible while still able to run Witcher 3 at playable settings.
Amazon Link to PSU http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0092ML0MY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
This one look good?
That is a great choice, and the R9 270 is lightyears ahead of the 525m. It will play most current games at Ultra-High settings at 60fps.
Although, a 300w PSU is not enough. This is way more than enough wattage, but a great choice.
If you can upgrade your PSU or don't have the money for it, a 750ti is a great choice.
ttp://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ALYOPSS/?tag=pcpapi-20 Does this look far better?
how about this power supply? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ALYOPSS/?tag=pcpapi-20
(Its prime eligible)
hmm. actually you don't need the Silverstone Tek HDD SSD as the Corsair 330R got Four 3.5” / 2.5” hard drive bays with full SSD compatibility.
for ssd get the crucial MX100 128GB
for PSU Corsair CX600M will be sufficient.
That seems like a very expensive PSU compared to the rest of the parts.
I mean something like this (I have the same PSU and it works nicely) would work well and is semi-modular: http://www.amazon.ca/Corsair-Modular-Bronze-ATX12V-EPS12V/dp/B00ALYOPSS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1404439793&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=corsair+cx+600m
And it's $120 cheaper.
I intend to use it primarily for video editing. I'll definitely end up with Final Cut X (it's what we use at work), but I'd like to learn the Adobe Suite for personal projects.
I'm completely new to building so any feedback I can get is gratefully accepted. I expect that I'm underpowered in key areas or overpowered in others, and may even have overlooked compatibility. Here's the build I'm looking at:

I never have used Seasonic but Antec, Corsair, or EVGA are all good.
This Corsair 600w Modular is very nice.
First off, don't even consider the USB miners. They are horribly weak, and will take a long time to pay off. Most pools will only allow you to withdraw when you make a certain amount of Bitcoin, so it would be about 14 days before you can even withdraw. I wholly suggest you stay away from those. If you are looking for the training wheels of bitcoin mining, buy one of [these] (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antminer-s1-/111582226282?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&amp;hash=item19fad1a76a). The miner I just referenced is a fantastic deal, buy it ASAP. However, you will also need a power supply. The only plugs in this PSU that we need are [these] (http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/attachments/pcie6-2-jpg.57637/). And about the last question: BTC can be converted or used for a variety of things. You can purchase things at the Microsoft Store, Overstock.com, or TigerDirect. You can use several sites such as [gyft] (gyft.com) to buy gift cards to popular retailers for Bitcoin. A list can be found [here] (http://www.coindesk.com/information/what-can-you-buy-with-bitcoins/). You can also just convert to cash, but the middleman (the buyer) takes around 3% of the money you get. I think you can convert to dinars as well.
would this be a good choice

> I'm looking to do 1080p/60fps at least, or maybe 1440. With games like the witcher 3 or battlefield. Single monitor setup is fine. Also, would like to use as my streaming box for videos
The 280x is just short of Witcher 3's recommended specs. It'll play it for sure, it's a great card, but you can't expect 60fps 1440. It's impossible to tell you exactly how it will perform considering the game is not out yet, all we have to go on is the recommended specs, which is a 290.
> I haven't picked out ram in a long time; probably six years. What's the best bang for the buck with the listed motherboard? Probably 8gb
Just pick the chapest 2x4GB DDR-1600 kit from a good brand like Corsair, G.Skill, Crucial, Kingston.. I like these.
> That leaves the PSU to pick out. I would prefer a modular model since I'm a neat freak with cabling.
Always pick a good PSU brand. Corsair, Seasonic, Antec.. I'd suggest this one for the value.
> I'm also going to be using the windows 7 key from my laptop.
This will most likely not work.
I only have 1 HDD, my power supply only came with 4 ports. But I can take engineerfromhell's advice.
Take a look at my power supply. [Power Supply]

2 are taken which are not SATA.
You can build a pretty decent rig with $1200... But it depends on what type of work you'd need to be doing on your laptop.
If you just need something for word processing, get the Asus X205TA or HP Stream 11, and then build a rig with:
That should put you around your price point and getting the best of both worlds. That machine WILL run WoW on ultra, and it'll leave you with a small laptop with great battery life to take to classes and take notes on.
Yessuh. What about this?

Thanks for the reply. I decided to downgrade to this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ALYOPSS?psc=1&amp;redirect=true&amp;ref_=ox_sc_act_title_1&amp;smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
I already have that SSD, so it is not needed for this list.
Yeah I went with a 600W PSU, which is easily more than I'll need with my rig, but I got it for a steal, so I can't complain.
The main difference between the motherboards is the features and layout. Personally, I find the UD3H as the perfect balance of price to features, and the UD5H being just a bit too overkill. They're both equal in overclocking performance. The RAM is not a big deal, go with what is cheap and that you like. Its not worth more for higher speed and lower latency, im using 1600mhz at CAS9, and it runs just great. As for your CPU cooler either a Corsair Hxxx series or Cooler Master Seidons and Neptons will provide adequate headroom when overclocking. I have a CM Seidon 120XL that I overclock my 4690k on and it remains nice and cool. And as for the power supply, I recommend at least 500w(if you go GTX 970) and preferably 600w(for an AMD R9 290x). EVGA, Corsair, Seasonic, even Rosewill and Antec, are all safe and reliable manufacturers, so just stick with a decent brand rated at least 80plus bronze. This one is 600w, so it should be enough for your build, however if you wanted to Crossfire/SLI in the future then you'd want a bigger power supply thats around 750W, like the NZXT

Now the graphics cards is personal preference. i'm green team, and always want the newest and most current (and I already had a space heater, lol). But a GtX 970 is usually around $350 and you can get kick ass deals on the R9 series, like $100 less, and the performance of the two card is quite comparable. Go with whatever feels best to you, I like to say that you should follow your gut on decisions like that.

I don't really want to cheap out on my PSU because I did (stupid I know) and it had problems.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CP-9020102-UK-CX550M-Semi-Modular-Bronze/dp/B00ALYOTTI/ref=sr_1_28?s=computers&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1473437891&amp;sr=1-28&amp;keywords=psu
Do ya think that PSU will be good?
I ended up going for this.
PSU
Graphics Card
And the rest of the PC
Yes... I know it isn't custom made (as it uses a Zoostorm base), but the other parts (CPU, ect) aint too bad on it. So I decided to upgrade the shittest parts
Would something like this ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-Builder-Series-Modular-Certified/dp/B00ALYOTTI ) be okay with this ( http://www.scan.co.uk/products/2gb-asus-gtx-760-directcu-ii-oc-28nm-pcie-30-(x16)-6008mhz-gddr5-gpu-1006mhz-boost-1072mhz-cores-115 ) ?
EDIT: Actually it's only £3 to get the 750W version, which I assume would be better?
Most people are pointing towards the 970, and i have had a look at a few PSU's and it's around £50, i was thinking of getting This PSU
Maybe i should just save some extra and get the 970 as everyone is telling me to do so.
the 970 Dimensions are - 40 x 25 x 6 cm i would need a new case to support the card too.
Why not this for the PSU and this for the GPU? Almost the same price as the ones you have but slightly better. The 760 is pretty much 270~270x tier, and for the price you save by not having a gold PSU, but still having a bronze one, you can get a GPU which is better, 280x
If gaming is the main use I would ditch the SSD. Start up times and general opening/closing files is what I notice with an SSD. I have one since I'm constantly switching tasks and run multiple OSes, but then again I had a bigger budget.
In my opinion Nvidia cards are better but for power per pound AMD has the edge. On this budget I'd probably go for the AMD.
Your PSU is over powered, you won't need over 500W. Just be careful that the PSU can run your GPU in terms of outputs, as my friend discovered by ending up having to buy molex adapters...
I have this PSU suggested below and it's pretty great, but you could drop down further to something like this and perhaps upgrade the processor.
I have a HD 7750 and this 600W PSU. I'm willing to upgrade the PSU.
Is this one good enough? Should be close enough
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-Builder-Series-Modular-Certified/dp/B00ALYOTTI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1419733606&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=600W+PSU
Wait, so it would be a bad idea to get this then? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-Builder-Series-Modular-Certified/dp/B00ALYOTTI/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1418747481&amp;sr=1-1
It's best you dont cheap out on a new PSU.
edit: I found this, looks pretty good and it's only 56 pounds.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-Builder-Series-Modular-Certified/dp/B00ALYOTTI/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1418747481&amp;sr=1-1
Changed the PSU for 600w.
Switched the GPU for a 750ti.
It'll cost you about $240, but it's some good hardware and will last you a few years.
It'll probably link you to the UK site, just google it for the US. :)
Maybe put an extra 8GB DDR3
And a GTX 960
There's no info about the PSU there.. But you can upgrade to a 650W
Should be exactly your amount... If your PC has a 500W or more PSU, you can just buy an HDD with that money.

EDIT: It's managed fine the past year with the 970 and two years prior with a 7870. I've not added anything new to the system that would draw much power.
Is this ideal? And can I get it cheaper anywhere else or will amazon be the best for buying components and stuff?
Yeah it works great so far, bit worried about the stress on the motherboard, wasn't any other way to put it in though.
600W Corsair for £50
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00ALYOTTI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
How about these 2?
PSU
GPU
Ah nice. A friend of mine recommended I get the CXM600. Awesome set by the way! I cant wait to put mine together and play games at 60fps+ without having to use 720p
I just bought the ASRock Z97 Extreme4 along with the 4690K to compliment my 770 since my current Phenom II X4 955 wasn't allowing me to get the most out of the 770. The E4 has the best build quality of all of the Z97's so it'd be worth the extra dough. I've also bought the Dark Rock Pro 3 cooler for the CPU and I use the Corsair CXM 600W.
Hopefully this works :

A lot of people, with this problem, are being told that it is the power supply. Could that be the case?
Should I get the gold efficiency version of this PSU
http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Crossfire-Warranty-220-G2-0850-XR/dp/B00IKDETOC/
Or Platinum
http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-PLATINUM-Crossfire-Warranty/dp/B010HWDP48/
I'm going for the 850W for both. The platinum 850 is cheaper which is why I'm curious.
I've been gifted a Titan Z, currently using a GTX 970, but it looks like my power supply can't handle it (only 500 watt). I looked up the minimum power requirements here in the link below, and it appears to require 700 watt. Currently eyeing one of these:
https://www.amazon.com/SuperNOVA-Modular-Crossfire-Warranty-220-G2-0850-XR/dp/B00IKDETOC?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=pcpapi-20
The price difference between a 750 watt and a 850 watt seems negligible, so I figured I may as well not cut it close. Anything I should know, or any better suggestions?
http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-titan-z/specifications
He said he used the PcGamer High end build guide with some changes. He swapped the 1080 to a 1070, the SSD's to a 1TB SSD, he changed the case to a MasterCase Maker 5 Mid-Tower and ordered everything form Amazon
So overall I'm guessing this is his build;
Coming to a grand total of 1945$ add shipping to that and you're looking at pretty close to 2 grand.
This build is fucking retarded though.
First of all, you can actually buy a a goddamn prebuilt with almost the same specs for about 400$ cheaper. That HP is just the first one I found, there are dozens of other prebuilts ranging from about 400-100$ cheaper with no real performance loss.
Yeah it's a prebuilt and has bloatware and all that shit, but in terms of performance it's actually pretty much equal to the authors build.
Second, you could just go for a more reasonable part list.
Swap the 6700k to an i5 6500 with the stock cooler and you'll cut 250$ from the price.
Even an i5-6600k with a hyper 212 evo would cost you about 260$, saving almost 200$
Swap the ridiculous motherboard to something decent for about 100-150$ and you're saving another 100$ right there.
32 gigs of RAM is overkill, you could easily go for 16GB DDR4 2400, and save another 70$
Dump the optical drive, who the hell watches BD movies on a PC anyways? If you really need a DVD drive they're like 20$
Swap the ridiculously high end case to something like Fractal Design R5 and save another 50$. R5 is still an excellent and fairly high end case, you could easily go for a 50-80$ mid-tower and save 100$.
I would also swap the 1TB SSD to a 256gb SSD and a 2TB mechanical drive which would be about 160-200$ saving him another 100$. but I can at least understand that someone wants the simplicity of just having a single drive.
With a few simple changes he could save about 450-650$ without losing any performance whatsoever in gaming, and that's without hunting for cheaper prices from somewhere that's not Amazon.
He said he paid about 100$ extra to buy everything from Amazon, so with an updated parts list and using PCpartpicker the price drops down to 1171$ so about 770$ cheaper than the authors build and with no real performance loss.
MSI 290X refurbished w/ 90 day warranty - $399
Good Gold Rated PSU - $139
Hello /r/buildapc,
This is my current build. (Not the best, but new to improving my stuff and I'm trying. :/ )
I just bought a Radeon RX 480 8GB to upgrade my GPU.
According to PC Part Picker, everything should be compatible but as soon as I started my system I smelled a burning smell that I think originated from my PSU.
I immediately turned everything off. I just reinstalled my previous GPU and everything started back up fine.
I also remember a red light lit on my motherboard that wasn't lit previous to the new card being installed. There wasn't any distinction on the board as to what it meant.
Could it be my PSU? Should I upgrade that too?
If so, how about the EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G2 PSU for this end build?
Thank you for any help.

How much are you asking for local pickup?
Rmx not cx i was trying to recall from memeory. And like I said it would be 3 possible units because I had 2 corsair RMx (not cx my mistake) and an evga the current psu I have is this
Hmm, yeah. I kind of already eliminated the Corsair from the list since it's the most expensive, leaving only the XFX and Seasonic. The Gold Seasonic is tempting but I'm not sure if the extra $40 is worth it since the only thing raised is the standard. The XFX sits between them, so I guess that's a good option too.
Actually, looking around, this seems to be the G2 EVGA you suggested. Is it the right one?
It mean two chip on the same card (Look at tha R9 295X2 or the Radeon Pro duo). It's exactly like a crossfire. So in supported game the card is great, but you can have a lot of trouble in unsuported game.
if you have a prime account, this one is really great and more future proof.
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00IKDETOC/?tag=pcp0f-20
I was looking at the EVGA 850w G2. Should I save some money and go for a 750 instead?
Ah, Ok. I'll wait for another person to chime in before I purchase these things. I've got like one hour and I can still get these delivered thursday from prime.
Is this the PSU you're talking about?

Would this CPU (link) be better paired with two 980 ti's and an 850PW Supply (link)?
I was checking on PSU for a little bit and I did not even realize there are bronze - gold certified. I came up with this that is way more then enough power and gold cert but seems it's very reliable.

I never heard of EVGA PSU's, but I went with them for my replacement. Corsair is sending me a replacement PSU but I'm only going to keep it for troubleshooting purposes. It's probably not rational, like they say lightning doesn't strike twice... but I just can't risk $700 again on their brand and feel good about it.
I never had a EVGA videocard but alot of people swear by them, so I'm running a SuperNOVA 850G2 in the meantime. So far, it hasn't fried anything, which is a good sign.
I have this psu. Does it have the PCIe 6-pin connector? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00IKDETOC/ref=oh_aui_i_sh_in_o0_img?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
I can go Gold for $92, that seems the best deal: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IKDETOC/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
I was planning on getting this power supply and was just curious do i need to buy plugs for it separately does it come with the cords? Or will the parts that i buy come with the plugs i need?
You didn't ask for power supplies but I've got an EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G2, 850W power supply, brand new, never opened. Cost $90-100, would gladly sell for $60.

GTX 780. It's this PSU from 2012. The PSU has been in use since then and may be the problem, though it works fine with the 1080ti I have now.
I have an EVGA SuperNova coming tomorrow as I've been having some other problems that might be PSU related.

It is good but I'd want to change the PSU. I'd suggest EVGA 600W 80+ Bronze or EVGA 750W 80+ Bronze (full modular) .
I heard that the CX series is bad for both overclocking and not overclocking. Also 500W is not enough if you want to overclock.
Idon't think it's the best psu. It's this I believe.
I'm making some upgrades to my computer, specifically the case and PSU and adding an SSD. I know I'm getting the 850 Evo but having trouble deciding on a case and power supply. For the case, I'm looking for something with either a white/blue or white/black (or black/white) color theme. My main concern with getting a while one though is that I have a black DVD drive and I'd either need to paint my drive white or get one with a door. I like the look of the Bitfenix and NZXT ones so I've been looking mostly at those but I'm open to suggestions for anything I've missed. These are the main ones I'm looking at:
Bitfenix Shinobi Black or White
NZXT Phantom 410
Any opinions on these would be appreciated. Also trying to figure out which power supply to get. Going for semi-modular, I have a 500 watt right now and don't really need any more for now but it wouldn't hurt to get something bigger I guess. Currently looking at these:
EVGA 750 B1
EVGA 650 GQ
Corsair CX650M
Corsair CX750M
Any insight into any of this would be super helpful. This will be my first real upgrade other than adding a hard drive.
If you're shopping at Best Buy and looking for a 600W this would be a better contender. I heard thermaltake PSUs range from shit to bad. However, for future proofing, I would rather spend the extra $15 for this for further upgrades down your road :)
Things that are over the top? As someone else mentioned, the HDD is a little overboard. You could get a moderate capacity SSD and 1 TB HDD for roughly the same price. Other things would be chassis (if that is the one that you think looks the best, more power to you but that would be considered a medium priced case and would lose 0 aesthetics and functionality in getting a $50 case) and maybe the PSU.
My opinion on PSU is buy from a reputable brand like Thermaltake or Sentey (roast me if you hate them but I have never had any problems with them) and go semi-modular. All the "semi" means is that the main 24 pin connector is not removable which is usually not a problem because that is a pretty important cable anyways.
Even if you want to stick with EVGA for your PSU, I would recommend something like this.
If you want some other case ideas, I know of a few in the $50 ish range that look really nice.
Ram: Higher clock speed while costing slightly less.
Storage: 50% more storage with a slight price increase, personally prefer Toshiba as I've had several Seagate HDD's fail on me.
Power Supply: More wattage while sticking with a reputable brand at a cheaper price. 80+ bronze is more than good enough, trust me.
Pretty solid build overall, I can see room for improvement with the motherboard, I wouldn't be surprised if you could cut $30+ and get the same feature-set, unfortunately I need to go to bed so I can't help you there. Good luck.

My current PSU is a 750W
https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Modular-Warranty-110-B1-0750-VR/dp/B00K85X23O
500GB SSD and 2TB HD. Not sure what my current case is besides a Corsair something. Its massive though so I'm just going to assume theres no sizing issues with the chosen MOBO.
Would I need a 750W PSU, or a bit higher? I saw this EVGA SuperNOVA 750W PSU -- would you recommend this, or something else?
This one is under $70. So maybe I should have said $70 but I also way overpriced the RAM.
Hey, the 750NEXB is only $60 on amazon right now. Any chance you'd come down to, say 45 or 50?
Would this work? http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Modular-Warranty-110-B1-0750-VR/dp/B00K85X23O/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1457650285&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=Evga+750
You haven't chosen a power supply. I would go with a 750w PSU, just to be safe.

I see, is this NEX variant sub-par or just not as good? Is the extra $40 for the G2 a good investment?

and i would get a new psu something like this http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00K85X23O/?tag=pcpapi-20 because you could run two cards on that psu but it would be runinng close to full compasit which my make it let up like a xmas tree.
Do you think this one will cut it?

My Corsair PSU is broken and I'm looking for a new 620-750 watt PSU. I wouldn't like to spend a lot of money (less than $70) on a new power supply, but I want something that is reliable and not going to break quickly like the corsair one. How is the EVGA SuperNOVA 750 B1?
EVGA Supernova 750 Watt. No error what so ever in the event log. No overclock (even though I should)

I'm thinking it might be the PSU also. The card came with an adapter (6-pin to 8-pin) but my current power supply only has one 6-pin. I'm most likely going to order a new PSU tomorrow morning. Would this (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K85X23O/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_QlnGwb16YZSV4) be a good choice?
I do have prime, i chose a few things on my account but don't really know how good they are.

Edit: CM Storm not a bad budget keyboard+mouse (but mouse is pretty much a paper weight recommend changing asap) http://www.amazon.com.mx/gp/aw/d/B00LZVP71A/
Very nice! Now I don't have to make a build. I wouldn't worry about losing the 370; AMD drivers are awful for Linux anyway. Note that only the 3 displayports will be able to do 60Hz because that monitor only has HDMI 1.4, which is limited to 30Hz at 4k. OP might think about adding a second GTX 950 and maybe grabbing the EVGA 750w B2 for a bit more headroom.
It's a slightly awkward solution but it's worth it for the CPU, I think.
Edit: And if OP doesn't need as many cores and wants a little more single core, the newly released six-core i7-6800K would also be a good choice. Lol, sorry, I'm not trying to hijack your build; I just didn't want to post exactly the same thing with like 1 thing different.
I'm using a EVGA SuperNOVA 750, it seems to have the proper connectors and pcpartpicker doesn't seem to complain about compatibility.
Which PSU should I get? I've been looking at this one which is an 850w, and I'm planning on overclocking CPU and GPU and maybe SLI GPU in the future so I'm not sure if this 750w one will be enough. Also does the 750w one have molex ports? I need some for my H440 and I can't find out if it does on the page. I know the 850w one does have molex ports tohugh.
The general consensus is that SSD sucks. Mostly due to a bait and switch when it came out.
[I went with a different one] (https://www.amazon.ca/240GB-CS1311-inch-SATA-550MB/dp/B019H3B3OW/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1464452465&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=pny+1311)
Also the last gen corsair PSU's have a bad rap, EVGA's are solid tier 1 PSU's with good warranty's.
Seconding the EVGA. Do you have a clear case/are cord aesthetics important to you? B1 will have the cord colors (red/yellow/orange) visible, but if you jump up to a BQ you can get all black wires. Obviously costs a bit more, but might be worth it to you.

I'd lean towards the B2 at $65. The G1 is OK but a bit old now and the B2 is the better unit overall despite being only a Bronze rated one.
Alternatively, you could get this on amazon for $64.99. If you're lucky like I was you could even get a discount from amazon warehouse deals. I got that PSU for $56.87 from an amazon warehouse deals listing.
I would recommend this for $65 https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Crossfire-Warranty-110-B2-0750-VR/dp/B00KFAFRW6. 5 year warranty and solid oem inside.

We would need to determine if your motherboard has standard mounting holes though.
EDIT: Apparently it doesn't have standard mounting holes and it uses laptop RAM. Could you run CPU-Z to confirm that it has a Desktop CPU or a laptop CPU?
EDIT 2: I'm gonna be honest, if the adapter is running you $699, then it's looking like the better option to either sell the thing and build a new PC or gut it for the CPU, SSD, and Graphics card, then get the extra parts that you need to make it whole. (This shouldn't be above $250)

EVGA Supernova 750 B2, sorry didnt point that out thought they were universal...guess has to be specific
Avoid that Sentey model.
If your locked into that price get the EVGA unit. If you can squeeze a few extra bucks the EVGA 750 B2 at $56, is a great power supply at really good price. I paid about $25 more for it off Amazon earlier this year.
I've noticed that the best reviewed EVGA units tend to be the x2 models (B2, G2, P2).
Sorry to bother you, but would this PSU be alright to use? It would be easier for me to order and not have to worry about and MIR. I could also prime it as well. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KFAFRW6/?tag=pcpapi-20
EDIT: Never mind, some reviews say it does not have support for haswell chips
here you go

I would suggest putting a little bit more money to get a good PSU like this EVGA one.
Wait wait. I linked a B1 instead of a B2
http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Crossfire-Warranty-110-B2-0750-VR/dp/B00KFAFRW6
B1 isn't that good, B2's are great quality though, one of the best on the market
EVGA b2 or g2 (g2 is about $20 more expensive)
Edit - 750b2 for $86 - http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Crossfire-Warranty-110-B2-0750-VR/dp/B00KFAFRW6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1451712186&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=evga+750b2
You should really just replace that power supply. I'm fairly certain that none of the other suggestions, aside from modding the bios, will actually work for you in this situation.
Here is a link to a great power supply on sale for a great price right now.
I feel like the i7 would still be better, even without overclocking. Skylake's gain over Haswell is nothing to write home about, and a 400 MHz advantage could easily more than make up for it. Also, DDR4 has yet to be shown to make a real difference in anything other than RAM benchmarks.
Also, you probably already know this but the Pro4 is cheaper at Micro Center and can be bundled with the i7 for another -$20. They have $40 1TB HDDs too.
Edit: One more thing, the 750w B2 is a much better unit at only $7 more: http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Crossfire-Warranty-110-B2-0750-VR/dp/B00KFAFRW6
For only $2 more, you can get a vastly superior PSU with no mail in rebate required for a sub $60 price: http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Crossfire-Warranty-110-B2-0750-VR/dp/B00KFAFRW6/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1449368004&amp;sr=8-4&amp;keywords=evga+750w
If you're looking for another 750W,
I would have to recommend this EVGA SuperNOVA. You could pay a bit less for a non or semi modular version, but I highly recommend at least getting a semi http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-220g20750xrEdit: Found this great deal, would say go with this one over my previous mention http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KFAFRW6
So this PSU would do the trick?
This is what I do!!
I got a used Z400 (Win7professional -> Win10, 2.5Tb, 8Gb, Xeon W3570 @ 3.20GHz) for $300 in fall 2013 and have been upgrading it piecemeal. A friend gave me two GTX 555s for free so I got a new $65 750W PSU ^(had to create a $5 adapter because HP has their MB wires in a weird configuration), but I bricked one of the 555s ^(trying to enable SLI on an MB that didn't support it...). I just added a refurbed ASUS GTX 970 SSC for $110, and a $90 1080p/60Hz monitor and it is all in all fantastic: constant 60fps @ <70°C! A 2GB RAM stick just pooped out so 4 more are on the way! I don't know what else I might improve about it =D ^(cough headphones and SSD cough)
Should I buy this drive ^x2 and put my 1TB SATA drives ^x2 in a different computer?
Anyone know a compatible 90 degree sata power cable for this PSU
no idk i have a really nice PSU. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KFAFRW6?psc=1&amp;redirect=true&amp;ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00

This would be my recommendation you also might check out r/buildapcsales they have good deals regularly.
Huh, that's disappointing. Do you have any recommendations for a better board around the same price? I suppose you're right about the PSU. This one is looking good and seems to have a good reputation given what I could gather in 15 minutes of googling:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KFAFRW6?psc=1&amp;redirect=true&amp;ref_=ox_sc_act_title_1&amp;smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
I'm going 750 because its marginally more expensive and if I buy one 290 or 960 or 970, I'll probably end up buying another later on, obviously bumping up my power requirements.
Oh hey look, a PSU tier list. The EVGA unit is under the Tier 2a (Good) and the Tesla R2 is under Tier 3 (Acceptable)

Its not personal preference, its advice. The 390 is better than the 290. That isn't an opinion. It is simply a fact. So if he can spare the extra money he should. That is all I'm saying. If he can't then fine. I don't know what your problem is exactly.
Figure I give an update, I got the http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KFAFRW6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
Essentially I spent 5 bucks more, well 10 since it cost me extra 5 bucks to ship the other PSU back for a refund. At the time I bought the CX750M it was $84.99 so prices may vary at this point.
According to reviews and jonnnygurus reviews, this PSU for almost same price blows the Corsair CX750M out of the water in terms of quality.
Depends on what you buy/want. The 1050 Ti recommends a 300w PSU, but you could spend a bit more for something like this or a 550w or 650w if you ever plan on upgrading your video card again for something that's more powerful but needs to draw more power
that's why I said that that 13 buck charger is probably a fire hazard, because I don't think it would actually stand having all those ports maxed, which would be the 40 watts it's rated for
but it's bullshit to say that a 40W PSU is worth 60 bucks, more like 400W PSUs

It sounds pretty dead. The only things you could further test are the paperclip-test (or PSU Tester) and testing the power-outlet itself.
You can get a PSU tester for $14.99 on Amazon. Does your motherboard have onboard graphics? What happens if you remove the GPU and turn on the computer?
> Have any other tips to check if the PSU is good?
I would start with a PSU tester TBH. Its the only way to be sure:

> Any good 5x3 cages you could recommend
I'm afraid not :( I have all server/enterprise grade gear
You can buy a tester, but to use it you will need to disconnect your PSU from everything.
Kind of sucky to buy one and need it once, but if you build or troubleshoot computers with any regularity it's a good item to keep in your tool kit.
I used to use one of these when I was a NOC tech.
A little +/- is OK, but you should be wary of anything more than 0.2v out of spec.
https://www.amazon.com/HDE-Power-Supply-Tester-PCI/dp/B005UZHB6G/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1510446757&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=power+supply+tester
You could get one of these and test it. Otherwise if you're cheap there's specific wires that need to be shorted to turn it on. You'll want to do some googling to figure out which ones you need to short however.
That is the Phase LED lights.
The number of lighted LEDs indicates the CPU loading. The higher the CPU loading, the more the number of lighted LEDs. To enable the Phase LED display function, please first enable Dynamic Energy Saver™ 2. Refer to Chapter 4, "Dynamic Energy Saver™ 2," for more details.
Per the manual you need a speaker connector to hear the BIOS POST codes. So you need to get a motherboard speaker connector

Testers are pretty cheap. Also if your old one didn't burn up odds are you're pretty safe
However 5 years is generally the end of a power supply warranty. It may be time for replacement.

Thank you! I was thinking either that one or this one. HDE 20+4 Pin LCD Power Supply Tester for ATX, ITX, BTX, PCI-E, SATA, HDD https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005UZHB6G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_QkGLBbBHYYW8N. Would you suggest testing the psu before I put in the new card? Or since it will be under warranty go ahead and try it.
The green cable used in jump starting the PSU is the "power on" pin, a very low power cable, which crosses to the ground. There is no dangerous load between these two pins.
However, if this is something you are commonly finding yourself doing, I'd recommend a PSU tester, like this one
Oh i get it wow. Interesting situation. I would translate my petition on Google translate the print it out and give it with the psu.
Also there is a cheap psu tester. Maybe they have it.

Sounds like a mobo or PSU problem to me. You can get a PSU tester like this one or use a spare psu to test that. Using those methods, the PSU will be easy to rule out if it's the problem or not.
If it isn't the PSU I would remove everything but the CPU and RAM from the mobo and turn it on. See if you can make it to post. If you do, add one component at a time and try to make it to POST. For instance, plug in your SSD and if it works, then try your GPU, ect. Sometimes a bad component will cause the mobo to do strange things.
One other thing you could check is making sure you have your CPU and RAM seated correctly, and making sure your CPU power cables are plugged in properly.
If you can't make get it to POST with just CPU and RAM and you're sure they're installed correctly, it is very likely a mobo problem.
Best of luck- troubleshooting can be a painful process.
The most reliable way is to use a PSU tester or a voltage meter.
There are instructions here with a video.
EDIT: Or, you could get one of these instead of a multi meter.
It's tricky and gets expensive sending things back for repair a ton. I would try picking up a cheap PSU tester from Amazon and make sure the PSU is putting out the correct power. You've ruled out the RAM and the manufacturer the MOBO. The graphics cards are confirmed to function. It comes down to the power supply, I think. A VGA light comes on when a graphics card is not booting up and connecting to the MOBO. If a PSU is failing, it may not be providing the correct power to it, halting boot.
You would need to use something like this: https://smile.amazon.com/HDE-Power-Supply-Tester-PCI/dp/B005UZHB6G
Or you'd need a new/spare power supply to test with. If the problem still happens with a new PSU, then the motherboard is at fault. If the problem goes away, then the original PSU is at fault.
^ he is right you can at least test that it is still able to power on using the paper clip test. If you actually want to test that the rails (each seperate set of wires coming out of the PSU) are not only functioning, but actually putting out the correct voltage, you need a PSU tester. A cheap but functional one with an LED readout of voltages will cost you about 15 USD.

As other mentioned, the PSU is a definite candidate. If you don't have a way of testing with another psu, or with the current psu in another computer, consider a power supply tester: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B005UZHB6G/
This one here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005UZHB6G/
It's this one. I also got this tester, and it didn't show any errors with either of our power supplies.
Thanks for the response.
I have a PSU tester on the way and should be able to test that soon. I've never used a PSU tester so not quite sure how I will be able to know if the PSU is bad, but hopefully it will have some instructions for that.
The tester I got is this one:

I see 2 corsair 750's for $80 and $70 respectively. What's the difference? I have to admit they are a nice price considering I paid $55 for the Bronze 600B 600 W by EVGA, but do you feel getting it would be overkill for my PC. good deal doesn't matter to me if it's overkill for my pc know what I mean?
Also, I'm using amazon to purchase all these items mostly because It's easier for me to use and I have free shipping with Prime. I'm open to any suggestions on what to get or what not to get.

Planning on getting a pretty heavyweight PSU anyway. Here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lh_dGts6TeQ I used this tutorial and mismatched some other stuff I found and liked. Don't use the Graphics card he uses in this, ATI's (Radeon) drivers are shit and the card doesn't last as long as a nVidia. This is the one I'm upgrading to because I got a Radeon that runs some games horribly because of the Drivers. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C12M9CM/ref=gno_cart_title_1?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER it's a GTX 650 ti OC Boost. Its awesome and fast and runs alot of games well. Also don't use the power supply in his build, the money you save from the graphics card you can get a bigger one that will last, be more powerful, and allow better upgrades in the future. http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Builder-Bronze-Certified-Supply/dp/B008RJZQSW/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1372278110&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=750w+power+supply
Its a good trusted brand. And nVidia's new line of graphics cards is supposed to come soon in August I think. So if you wanna wait and get that, it'll be a bit more powerful and such. Any questions ask me. Sorry it took so long BTW PC's are awsome you'll love it. The steam summer sale should be soon too!
I was thinking of getting this 750W PSU now because if I wanted to upgrade anything later I'd be able to without any problems.
http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Builder-Bronze-Certified-Supply/dp/B008RJZQSW/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1371064646&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=750w+power+supply
I'm using a Corsair Bronze 750W PSU.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008RJZQSW/?tag=pcpapi-20
I'm not worried about the power supply though, the computer has plenty of wattage for a 770. I'm worried about the multiple power strips that the computer is hooked up to.
I have no clue about this Powersupply but I bought a Corsair for this same price.
https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-CX750-Supply-Bronze-Certified/dp/B008RJZQSW/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1466087224&amp;sr=1-3&amp;keywords=Corsair+750
Please don't do the crossfire with two R9 270Xs unless you have exigent circumstances to necessitate it. You would be much better off going with a single, stronger GPU. It most likely would be cooler, more efficient, and more powerful. For the price of two R9 270Xs, you can get a single R9 290.
As for your PSU woes, I say go for the CX Series for Corsair, like this CX750. They're on the cheaper side, are modular, and have great ratings. I suggest going 50w or 100w higher than what is slated for what you need (so you were correct assuming 650/700w).
I have this cx430
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0092ML1SC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
I really don't want to hold onto it as i'm trying to cut down on the amount of stuff I own so it is either sell it or throw it away.
I am now seeing that the cheapest 750 around is the CX750. for only $70 new. This sounds great to me as I have no intention of upgrading from this new card pretty much ever. Anything wrong with this?

Something like these
Thanks for the thoughts!
I figure $20 on fans isn't making or breaking the budget regardless, and if I have one or 2 left over as spare parts it's not the end of the world.
Do you think it makes sense to go down to an H170 chipset for the motherboard? Maybe something like this (~$120)
PSU selection has given me the biggest headache as I really don't know what to look for beyond a high enough wattage to support the needs of the machine and an efficiency rating. Detailed guides I've read have thrown me for a bit of a loop. Anything in particular to look for? Does this seem reasonable? Is it more a brand trust thing between SeaSonic and EVGA?

"One 24-pin ATX power connector"
Any supply you buy that is ATX will work.

I was going to suggest he spend an extra $10 and buy the 550w gold fully modular seasonic.
edit: change to this psu. same price, better product
Also I know newegg has a deal on some MOBOs where you can get 8gigs of ddr3-1600 ram for free.
also change the 7950 for GTX 770. and change the PSU.

The diference between the AMD FX-8350 and the i5 is quite small so you shouldn't worry too much about it. In my opinion the FX-8350 is a better investment, as it has much more raw power. The problem is games don't use multiple cores too well leaving lots of wasted potential; however, this doesn't mean that performance decreases it is just that with that much power it should be higher. In regard to the power supply my friend bought this corsair one:

The problem with this power supply is it isn't modular so it will take more space. From what I see a good choice could be this one:

Just take into account that power supplies are not something I know much about so maybe you could do more investigation.

150 bucks is a lot of money for just a PSU.
This psu will easily last 5 years.
I realise this is kinda against the rules, but I was bored so I made a PC for you :P

save a little more, and get an extra 100w
80+ GOLD RATING IS VERY RELIABLE AND EFFICIENT. I ALWAYS RECOMMEND EVGA FOR RELIABILITY AND SILENCE. THIS IS ONLY $65 AFTER $30 MIR AT NEWEGG: EVGA 750W GOLD. 4.7 RATING 1,100 REVIEWS ON AMAZON. YOU CAN GET THE 650W FOR $5 LESS. 850W FOR $10 MORE IF YOU PLAN ON SLI TWO POWER HUNGRY CARDS.
Just snagged the EVGA 750w B2 for $57 w/ free shipping (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KFAFRW6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_rwyAwb8EFPH67). That deal has ended, but I think better deals than this exist.
