PSU is trash. Change for An Antec, XFX, Seasonic unit.

slinkmerc · Oct 4, 2014

my concern would be space. Will the video card fit in the case?

tiny voices · Oct 4, 2014

Yep, Change the case to a Corsair 300r to fix this issue. MUCH better case.

just to show you (not you voices 😀) how important PSU is and you shoudl get good one:

my midrange-high end PSU Killed my gpu and HDD, costed me a lot, + my system used like half of psu's power !

btw can't get that link to load 🙁

tiny voices · Oct 4, 2014

What PSU did you have that went bad?

poels · Oct 4, 2014

I would say yes.

I'm waiting myself on my new rig.

But yeah, depending on the different vendors it should all be there, thermal paste should be applied already to the CPU/Heatsink. I would suggest you put a tube in there, as i see you put the Evo 212 in the basket.. just to make sure you are covered in that department.

I concur. Take one of the above PSU's. Always make sure you dont overlook your PSU. It's a vital component, and if cheap quality can fry your entire system (extremely unlikely, but possible nonetheless!)

But yeah, it should be enough to put it together. Make sure to buy another case fan if the case you picked only has one coming with it. At least two case fans if you want to hardcore game i'd say.

Also remember to check the Amps from the PSU you buy. I'd say at least 35 Amps just to be sure. A good GFX card can take 10-14 amps easy so.

You should also make sure there is at least one 6+2 connector.. just for the future (or if your card wants a 6pin and an 8pin for power instead of the usual 2x 6pin's)

He does not need any paste. The 212 EVO comes with a tube of good quality paste.

That case he selected comes with 3 fans. The Corsair 300r I suggested comes with 2. Wither way he does not need to buy any.

i upgraded to this:

http://www.green-case.com/products/power/power.php?model=GP650B-OC

i didn't take the time to contact their customer support, i guess they have good one :| the psu wasn't so expensive and i don't think they will pay for my GPU and HDD :|

tiny voices :

I wouldnt know. Never bought the piece myself, although I'm going to in a while. Never safe than sorry though! Therefor i still said it 😛 I just wanted to mention it with the fans. The site i buy from usually doesnt even specify this.. I know my case comes only with one, so again, better safe than sorry. Just a couple things to look for / make sure of before you post your order.

tiny voices · Oct 4, 2014

Pretty much any aftermarket cooler over $20 comes with paste. No need to buy any.

tiny voices · Oct 4, 2014

kamhagh :

Yeah, neither of those look any good at all. unfortunate no other companies are sold there.

🙁 ye, unless i pay like > 300 for a 1000w+ titanium psu ! )

tiny voices · Oct 4, 2014

The new one you have is a CWT re-labeled unit so it is tier three or so. Not bad, but not awesome. It should run your system safely though.

cftwin · Oct 4, 2014

Thanks that's the new build its cutting base on you recommendations

I bought a XFX ProSeries Core Edition 550W for my new build, because it was on sale. Got it for around 70 Dollars. I can't recommend it yet though, as i recieve my stuff on monday..So i can't say if it's good or not yet. But it's cheaper than the one you picked.

tiny voices · Oct 4, 2014

New build looks great!

The XFX 550 is an AMAZING unit. It is very good quality, made by Seasonic. A tier 2a unit.

poels · Oct 4, 2014

tiny voices :

Yeah, it has awesome reviews almost all the way around really.That's why i chose it.. I didn't trust the other PSU's i could get for the same money.. I couldf chosen an Antec too but thats about the only other logical choise there was. CM B600's etc.. bah 😛

tiny voices · Oct 4, 2014

EVGA makes a few VERY good quality units on the $50-$60 budget. Antec has a few as well. But for the price, XFX seems to be the best for VERY high quality units.

kamhagh · Oct 4, 2014

tiny voices :

ye

i also heard good about this one :| (on quality of parts used inside!)

poels · Oct 4, 2014

I actually don't think they are available here in denmark. i can't find 'em in our stores.. Although i know they sell them for cheap down in germany. I looked at one myself because i was going to order in germany anyways, but i got a good deal and got my parts here in the most expensive european country, so i couldn't go with it. You can save 50-100 dollars on GFX cards , and everything else really.. Denmark sucks, haha. 😀 the gtx 970 g1 at home is 503 USD... germany.. 425 USD. everything here is taxed and double taxed.. suprised we even have a market actually.

i know the feeling 🙁 even if anything is available here its expensive ! they find the worst brands and stuff on earth and sell it !

poels · Oct 4, 2014

I just found out the only EVGA line we are selling is the SuperNova's.. and only in one single store. Cant find any EVGA psu's whatsoever... weird... we are huge gamers here in denmark.

Snipes212 · Oct 4, 2014

One of the best PSUs: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-ssr550rm

kamhagh :

Yeah it's horrible. We can get maybe 10% of the cases that you can go get just across the danish/german border. And everything is AT LEAST 20 dollars more here.. no matter what it is. And you have to look long for real quality stuff.. The only good danish shop i can think about is average in price.. but they got a huge supply............because they are based in norway. There isn't ONE danish shop worth buying at.. i think that's why the norsemen even ship it down here. It's only one norse shop.. but they ship it down here anyways, at the same price it's costing us to ship inland stuff.. They sell huge amounts because the danish shops all suck. And same delivery time! 1-3 working days. They probably got rich off our high prices and low quality products when they started coming with professional gaming gear for the masses to buy.... I think they sold 68 g1 cards from the 09/27/14 till now. And that's only from gigabyte. I didnt look at the other, even more popular brands (here EVGA cards are a huge deal lol) but i could only imagine. Lucky rich B******* 😀

First time build would this work?
