Help: Low budget build for PC Gaming

[waluigi7]

Hi, I wanted to build a cheap PC Gaming and I've already chosen which components should be. The Pc would have these specs:

CPU: i5 2400 3,1
Motherboard: ASRock B75 Pro3
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X DDR3 1600 PC3-12800 8GB 2x4GB CL9
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 1TB SATA3
GPU: GTX 760 2gb
PSU: Corsair CX750 750W Builder Series 80 Plus Bronze

What do you think, it would work or the PSU needs to be higher?

Thanks

Everything looks good. You don't need a higher wattage PSU, but you could use a higher quality like 80 PLUS GOLD*

Ok thanks for your answer, but if I choose the 80 PLUS GOLD what advantages I have?

Higher efficiency, higher quality. You get at least 5% more power.

For example, 750W Bronze is actually only 615W. 750W Gold is 675W. You can say it's only 60W, but generally GOLD and better use higher quality parts so it's less likely for the PSU to randomly become defective. If that happens, you have no computer for gaming!

Ok, thanks for your advise. However all of these parts cost 434€ and if I change the PSU I exceed my budget of 450€. However I think that if in the future I upgrade my PC this is one of the main points I would consider.

Do you know any other PSU that costs around 70€ that would be better for my budget?

You don't need 750W, 550W/650W is plenty for that build.

So the Corsair CS650M 650W 80 Plus Gold or the Corsair CS550M 550W 80 Plus Gold Modular are perfect for that build, isn't it?

Sounds like it is if it fits your budget. Where do you plan on purchasing?

Due to the budget limit I would buy the GTX 760 that is 2nd hand on Ebay and the CPU that is new on Ebay too. The rest of the components are from PCComponentes, a spanish website.

C'mon, GSkill! You should know better than that!

A 750W, Bronze, Gold, Purple or whatever is RATED to put out 750W, AT THE OUTPUT CONNECTIONS. The "Gold" rated PSU is just more efficient and draws less power from the wall plug!

First, let’s talk about what efficiency means and how it’s calculated. A computer power supply takes AC power from the wall and converts it into DC power. During this conversion, some power is lost and is exhausted as heat. If a power supply is more efficient, it requires less AC power to produce the same amount of DC power than a lesser efficient unit and less heat is produced.

The only PSUs that I recognize from THAT SUPPLIER (LINK) are the Corsairs and all of the good ones are too powerful and too expensive. Is there any other place that you can buy a PSU?

HERE (LINK) is the THG PSU Tier List. you need to pick a Tier 1 or Tier 2 PSU of 550W to 600W.
