[Niklas_13]

Budget Range:2k cheaper the better

System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming with GeForce instant replay on at all times

Are you buying a monitor: no



Parts to Upgrade: all

Do you need to buy OS:yes

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: PCs 11 years old and not to his standard.

He wants a pc to play all the new AAA titles at max setting. And to last as long as it can.
IMO he can get maybe 7 + years out of this with a gpu upgrade in 3 years.

Looking for some input ( 2nd option ) on the build I suggest for him

Don’t know much on the msi, I think it’s decent but this is the unit I’ve got and I believe it is at tier A.

Yah, I have the RM750X there very good, just trying to cut cost a little where I can. I know the PSU is not the place to do it but from what I read the MSI is a good unit and 29 bucks cheaper.

Anyone else have input on the PSU ? or other parts

That's looks to be a bulletproof build for 1080P ^^

I will just say I’m not certain where that msi psu falls in the tier list exactly, some units similarly named to that seem to be tier c units which is the lower end of where you want to be.

I know it’s 30 bucks but for the amount you are spending, seems like trying to save 30 bucks on a psu is splitting hairs. Just my 2 cents. Otherwise for 1080p that should last a while.

If you did feel like looking at an amd gpu you could try to see if they are doing deals on the 7900 gre.

Your choice of PSU is just good enough. Everything else is top notch.
You can do better.
