8 or 16gb ram
ssd samsumg 85o evo 250gb
asus z370-a
case corsair 400q
noctua u14s (I have no plan to OC but I will biy this noctua because of silence and durability)
Some backup HD


My doubt is about the PSU..
The thing is I dont know if I will use discrete GPU in the future....
I really dont know.... Maybe for AI I will use but I am not sure....Maybe for gaming....
Maybe for gaming test and development....
I would probably buy a 1000 w PSU (I have already seen some GPU specs).

The thing is... I could buy a CX430 now and buy a RM1000x if I use a discrete GPU.
Or I could start buying a RM1000x right now, because the PC components deserve a better
PSU already.

It would increasee the price of my computer in 10% in my country and componentes
here are expensive.

If I buy some GPU I would proably SLI.
I dont wanna buy intermediate PSU.....

Its some 430w or the 1000w that I want to buy


What is your opinion ?

thx in advance

Personally I wouldn't buy anything now until you decide what you want to do.

Definitely don't buy that CX430, it's garage and could damage your system.

Even if you do SLI you won't need anything over 750W... 850W max.

A good 650W PSU will handle your system with no problem.

That is wasting money. Buying the same thing twice. At this point you don't even know if you will buy a GPU and you plan to buy a PSU to support two?

ok.

Well you asked for opinions I gave you mine. I would not buy a throw away PSU. I would not buy an SLI PSU. I've tried SLI and don't like it. I would only use SLI for cuda programming.

I recommend that you wait.

But no matter what don't buy that CX430....

It can damage your system.

Or if you really want, get a good 750W, should handle anything you want to do other than 2x Vega 64's in Crossfire.
