Hi all,
I´m building a new machine to use as workstation and for FPS games (non in ultra specs)

I work as a programmer, so I will need to run some virtual machines (linux and mac os x guests). I will use it to process some full-hd videos as well in Adobe Premiere/After effects.
I´m building this machine in Brazil, that´s why the price reference is from amazon (I tried to use amazon as reference). My plan is to spend USD 1500.

Here are the components:

PSU: Corsair CX Series, CX600, 600 Watt (600W) Power Supply, 80+ Bronze Certified
USD 60.00

WaterCooler: Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H50 All in One High-performance CPU Cooler CWCH50-1
USD 76.00

SSD Kingston 2.5´ 480GB UV400 SATA III
USD: 150.00

MEM: Hyperx Kingston Savage 16GB (2x8GB) 2133Mhz DDR4
USD: 130.00

Motherboard: Asus B150M-C/BR
USD: 80.00

GPU VGA ASUS GTX 1060 6GB
USD: 320.00

CPU: i7-6700
USD 320.00

Case: Thermaltake Versa N21
USD: 65.00

My questions:
- PSU would be enough?
- Case will have enough space and cooling to this setup?
- This watercooler is a good choice?

As I told before, I´m a heavy user. So during my work-day I used many applications and some virtual machines at the same time.

 
Solution
The G1 PSU is really low quality for what it is meant to be, and is not recommended often, if at all.

The second and last one are the same, both GQ Series and are much better quality over the G1.
PSU is low quality and not worth the risk when running under full load, I would recommend getting a Gold Rated PSU, such as the Supernova G2's, as well as getting rid of that H50 Water cooler, it is only 120mm and runs the same as cheaper air coolers, something like the Hyper 212, or Cryorig H7 will fit nicely.


 


The air cooler would be more than enough, the 212 evo can support overclocking and keep the temperatures under 70c at around 4.5GHz depending on the CPU, so on stock, under load, it will be able to keep it cool enough.
 


Hi xFeaRDom, I found these ones here in Brazil:

- 750W G1 SuporNOVA 80 Plus Gold Full Modular 120-G1-0750-XR
- EVGA 750W 80 Plus Gold 210-GQ-0750
- EVGA 650 GQ 650W 80 Plus Gold Modular 210-GQ-0650-V1

do you know if there are lot of differences between them? Because they are a little bit different in price but I dont know about the specs.

 


Thanks man :) I will go with the EVGA 750W 80 Plus Gold 210-GQ-0750 :)
