Hiyas, I'm not very familiar with computers and this will be the first time ever I'm building one. I'm rather confused as to how I should choose an appropriate PSU to go with mine. This is my build so far, it's a screenshot from a local shop I'm probably going to order from.
I plan to use the PC largely for Photoshop and 3D work in Cinema 4d and Softimage, sometimes Maya and 3DS..... and some gaming >_>. I've been told by some that getting a 6 or 8 core PC and better video cards would work a lot better for rendering in c4d but those are really expensive and considering I've worked with a prebuilt with average components for a while I think this would be a step up if anything.
It would be a great help if you could tell me the wattage that would be appropriate for this, also I've read about a lot of controversy among the different brands of PSUs such as people telling me to avoid Cooler Master like the devil and to look for ratings like bronze silver and gold (which I'm not too sure of) for starts.
Of course I wouldn't mind some advice as to the parts I've chosen, I mainly made my choices from friends advice and off reviews on the internet so I'm unsure if I made any bad desicions with this.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, any input will be very appreciated![Smile :) :)](/data/assets/smilies/smile.gif)
