Need Advice on a New Build

[blackd51th]

Hi all,

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dvQYTB

I'm planning to do a new build(see the link) and I want your opinions on the parts list, especially on the RAM and the PSU. T-Force is an relatively unknown name for me and I have the option of buying the Nighthawk ones or GSkill Trident Z RGB. I saw alot of posts on RAMs corrupting and lights failing with Trident Z and so far nothing like that with the Nighthawks.

Please let me know what you guys think of.

Thanks.

Hi Maxalge,

Thank you for the answer. One thing I forgot to mention was that I'm not from US and the parts I have used are the ones that are available in my country. Any thoughts on my choice of RAM? That's what really bothering me now.

Team ram is absolutely fine , big manufacturer ,been around years.

Nighthawk looks good stuff & works well with asus aura sync.

i see, please note your location for future reference

it helps to not waste time


the corsair old VS series are not good at all

so I strongly suggest you at least get the newer 550w corsair CX ( black and white version )

My apologies for the little mishap. I will see what I can do about the PSU. Thanks.

I don't think the CX series PSUs are available in my country. Cooler Master Masterwatt Lite 600W be a good alternative?

no, only their V series is good

their VS models are ok

try to get something from tier 1 or 2 in 550w or better:

Thanks alot for that wonderful list.

I have FSP Hexa+ 500W and FSP Hydro 600 available. Hope one these will good enough.

 

[madmatt30]

The hydro looks decent , no stripdowns available but it's dc-dc & comes with a 5 year warranty like the hygro g & ge.

Fsp can make decent psu's at the end of the day & it's at least a tier above the cheaper hexa models which are still fairly solid for budget models.

Well that seems to be the better option I have right now. There are CM Masterwatt series PSUs available but it's on the 'untiered list' on that PSU tier list so I don't know if they are good...
