Thanks for the inputs. If bronze/gold evaluates the efficiency of the PSU, how would you determine the quality?

Hey all, I'm planning to get a PSU for my build (Ryzen 5 3600, RX 5700xt and B550M VDH-WIFI mobo), and currently on a budget. Thinking of getting one of the following, and wanted to see what ppl's recommendations are? Gigabyte GP-P550B 550w 80+ Bronze Power - $65 on sale...

Gotcha. I have a bit more time, so I'll definitely think about it. Thank you for the help!

Thanks so much man! I was really sold on the Bazooka, but unfortunately, I had to cancel my order when I found out it wasn't likely that I would be able to redeem the MSI promo code on time for the MOBO. Ultimately, I decided to go with a MSI Pro-VDH WIFI...

Thanks so much! Really appreciate the thorough help. May I ask you one more question, before I ultimately decide? I found ASRock B550M PRO4 for $20 less after considering for FX (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1576897-REG/asrock_b550m_pro4_amd_am4.html), and from a video from Hardware...

Thanks for the response. I'm planning to buy the mATX largely due to budget reasons (B550s are a bit more expensive), and I figured I don't really need the additional features of a regular board, since I don't plan on overclocking or expand outside my SATA SSD. Also, I've used a mATX MOBO for my...

Ah, I'm new to the forums lol - thanks for letting me know about the trophy icon. Funnily enough, I actually posted a question on the MOBO forum about which MOBO to buy. I'm considering a B550M (decision based on budget, no plans on overclocking, and sticking to my SATA 1TB SSD in the long...

Thanks everyone for their insight. I decided to go for a B550M & Ryzen 5 3600 combo instead!

I'm considering between Phantom Gaming 4 vs. HDV for the B550M mobo, to pair with a Ryzen 5 3600 (little to no overclocking). The price difference is small (like $13), but I'm in a tight budget. The difference in features seem to be: CPU Power Connector: Phantom's 8-pin vs. HDV's 4-pin M.2...

Use: Gaming @ 1080P (upgrade to 1440P later) GPU: RX 5600 XT MOBO: B450M Overclocking: No I'm currently deciding between Ryzen 5 2600 vs 3600 (or X, since same price at the moment). For my current needs (1080P gaming), the 2600 seems to be more than enough to support the 5600XT. However, my...

Hey guys, I recently installed the Samsung 970 EVO SSD (256gb) to my Dell Inspiron 5577, and followed a youtube video (link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVnIHTyRX0Q) to install Samsung Data Migration tool and clone the existing HDD files to the SSD. Initially, in device management, the SSD...

Hi everyone, I'm a noob when it comes to PC parts and was wondering if you could provide me some details regarding the following matter: What is the difference between the B350M PRO-VDH vs. the B350M GAMING PRO, other than the fact that gaming pro has only 2 ram slots while PRO-VDH has 4...

Hey guys, I’m looking to build a budget gaming PC and was wondering if the following parts are compatible: CPU: Ryzen 3 1300X - $149.99 (http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=4_1210_64&item_id=111070) MOBO: R350M - $83.30...

Hi guys, really getting frustrated with the laptop and was wondering if I could get some insight. First of all, I just got the Dell 15 5000 Series Gaming Notebook with A10-9630P (2.6GHz), 8GB of DDR4 RAM, RX 460 4GB gpu with Windows 10. I'm trying to run simple games like CS:GO and even on the...

Hey guys thanks for the quick answers. So I see the RX460 4gb and the integrated graphics. The integrated graphics (AMD Radeon R5 Graphics) is set to Primary at the moment. To make the RX460 my primary, would I be able to do so in the Radeon Settings? Thanks.
