How does my build look for FPS Gaming?

modular tx750 is made by CWT not seasonic.
There is NO NEED for a modular unit.cable management is a personal talent.modular cables have nothing to do with it.

i have no talent, so i usually just "snip off" what i don't need

If you REALLY want a modular PSU that isn't too expensive and still performs well, check out the OCZ ZT 750W.

Same price as the TX750 V2, cheaper than the 750M, and a better jonnyguru rating.

Review of the 750M.

^but ZT750 is re branded great wall.
a seasonic unit or superflower unit would be good.

So everything besides the PSU is good to go? I'm thinking of ordering everything next weekend.

 

[hellfire24]

nothing is wrong with zt,i just prefer tx more.

Why does it even matter when there are reviews out there that say it is a great unit? The ZT is also cheaper and fully modular, both of which if they mix, is really good for a PSU.

^i never said it's a bad unit.i just wanted to say that TX750 is a more preferable choice.it's a seasonic made,corsair customer support is awesome if any thing goes wrong.modular cables hardly matter,cable management is kind of personal talent you know.some person with some experience can do great cable management with non modular power supply and a noob cannot do poor cable management even with a modular unit.just sayin.

At that price, it is a steal. I am usually against modularity, but that is because most modular PSUs are at around $150. At $100, it is cheaper than the TX750 V2 and just as good.

yeah it's a good deal but OCZ is well known for their high failure rates and poor customer service.
source-
my dad has suffered two ssd failures and my god their customer service is horrible.corsair is way better than ocz overall IMHO.no offence to anyone.

 

[azeem40]

OCZ SSDs except for the Vertex 4 are. One guy's failures doesn't make the whole line of ZT PSUs have high failure rates. You're comparing unripe apples to ripe apples.

 

[hellfire24]

one guy? vertex 3 is one of the highest failed ssd series.we are not talking about ssds here.
point is power supply,in my opinion,corsair tx750 is a wiser choice.rest depends on OP's choice.

 

[ThunderstruK]

Surely a modular PSU does help with cable management in some respect. I mean, surely less cables would make it much easier to manage? Especially for a first time builder such as myself

 

[hellfire24]

^not really!

 

[ThunderstruK]

Whats with the Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum ratings anyway? Should I be concerned with this?

 

[ThunderstruK]

Well, if there's no clear advantage in anyway, whats the point in a modular PSU and why are they so popular atm?

 

[hellfire24]

just a gimmick!
there's no need of a cosmos 2 when you can fit everything well in a 500r,but some people do it.
if you read a little more,than you will also find out about the reputation of OCZ.
corsair is faaaaaaaaaaar better.

.5 points less for $10 less seems worth the price decrease.
