@Vic thanks me too @ohio_buckeye thanks. If it weren't for this website i wouldn't have realized the massive difference a power supply makes. A 650W Enermax which is Tier A coild blow a 750W Solid Gear out of the water.

Nevermind I'm a noob and Enermax Revolution DF 650W PSU and Asus Prime A520M-A II all work. I failed to realize the 24 pin cable needed both the 18 and 10 pin cables plugged in. This was my 1st modular PSU and instructions did not state to plug both in. Also the 2nd issue was the motherboard...

So i got an Asus Prime A520M-A II motherboard amd hooked the powersupply up and it seemed to work so it was old PSU or Motherboard. So then i returned the powersupply since it was $120 amd I found a great sale on the Enermax Revolution DF 650W which is Tier A. Well the Enermax doesn't seem to...

Thanks all. So i got the thermal take GF1 that's i think Tier B but problem persists. So it must be notherboard or cpu? Everything runs perfectly when plugged in but once I plug in the 8pin cpu cable, nothing works. I really hope it's not the CPU since i bought it last month and worked no...

According to this site, with me having a GTX1080 it a 650 or 700w psu should be no issue. https://www.techreviewer.com/best-tech/amd-5700x-power-supply/ I was looking into this one. https://www.microcenter.com/product/607489/thermaltake-smart-series-700-watt-80-plus-atx-non-modular-power-supply

Yeh. I thought i upgraded awhile ago to 650 but I cannot remember why I had the 550 in there tocbe honest and after seeing everything in my PC and typing it up here I was thinking, "this sounds like way too much for a 550 watt PSU." Wouls 650 be a safe bet or 700?

Hello all, I upgraded my PC recently and everything has been running smoothly for about a month now but last night while playing Deus Ex which I've played tons of since the upgrade, my PC just shutdown. Then when I tried start up the PC again everything turned on for a split second then...

Thanks, yeh at the moment CPU was my priority and I got it the 5700x, 16GB of ram and a 500GB NVME for under $300 so I can't complain especially with how much all that improved my stats. I'm now 95th percentile overall on Passmark. Maybe in a year or 2 I'll think about getting a new GPU but with...

Want to say thank you all. I did the upgrade and now my PC is back up to a top gaming rig again and improved dramatically. I got the 5700X, 3200mhz DDR4 RAM, and got a NVME drive as well. PassMark Software - Display Baseline ID# 1675758 I'm now 4 or more stars on everything and my passmark...

Thanks. Yeh I went to the gigabyte website and followed the steps for upgrading the BIOS. They had it in steps like you described where i had to install a certain bios before finally upgrading tovthe newest.

thank you all for the replies i truly appreciate it. So I for sure will be getting the 5700x, and now I will be looking into some high frequency ram then too. I'll most likely also get the 500GB Samsung HVME they're selling too. Also thanks to for the heads up on the BIOS. i recall when I got...

Hello All, With AMD CPU's going down in price recently due to the new series coming out, I was thinking of doing a slight upgrade to my PC but wanted to get everyones opinion first. Keep in mind, right now I can game hassle free currently in the sense I still haven't really ran into any games...

I had the same question a long time ago as well. It seems like steam really doesn't want you to "save" the games liek you used to be able to do. What I did though was, when I downloaded a new game, before I installed it through steam, I foudn where steam put the DL files, and copied those. Then...

This one looks the most promising actually and they have some in stock here at the Columbus store. Plus my case is also made by Thermaltake!

Thanks for all of the advise so far. Yeh I live about 15 minutes from a Microcenter as well, so I don't have to worry about shipping. I see some of you have posted a few other 550W PSUs, what is so advantageous with those, being that it's still the same wattage? Is it just quality? I figured...
