GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

Kingston HyperX FURY 8GB Kit (2x4GB) 1600MHz DDR3 CL10 DIMM

WD 1TB 7200RPM HD

600W PSU is over, get 500W at least.

Get R7 260X or 265.

i have already bought the PSU and Geforce GTX 750 already.

 

[iamlegend]

You are good to go.

Return the PSU mate, bad quality

Bad Quality as in??? I just picked up a somewhat on budget/Cheaper power supply at best buy because the one in my older system failed.i can always upgrade to something else.Is this a bad brand?heard bad stories?appreciate the input man.

 

[Bossyfins]

The only brands you should trust is: EVGA B2/G2/P2, XFX, SeaSonic, Antec

The thing is, it can cause problems down the road, and may even destroy some parts. A good quality PSU is needed in all computers, especially for gaming.

 

[Jeremy Davis]

would this be a better MOBO...ASUS is a well known name,i dont know about gigabyte.

For motherboards, If you have a pretty okay budget, go with either gigabyte, or Asus. IF you are on a little tighter budget, then go with AsRock.

Nah, saying that PSU is a disaster is a "bad labeling", don`t advise something like that. I have been using Keian Bullmax PSU, (yes you never heard of it) but as long as it has the 80+ (bronze, gold, silver, platinum rating) you should not be worried.

 

[Bossyfins]

Yea, but that isnt a thermaltake. ThermalTake PSUs are probably the worst psus for gaming, oh; no i'm wrong, the CX series from corsair is.

Either way, you may have just been lucky, or had gotten a pretty decent psu.

 

[iamlegend]

Na, that is unfair for the manufacturers. They intend to make their products the best as possible, large industries have QA Department which ensures that the product passes the required specifications.

PSU industry is a wide unlike Nvidia and AMD.

Just suggest what are the best but don`t label other brands as bad.

As for my PSU, it is a cheap Japanese brand.

 

[Bossyfins]

No they don't lol. They cut corners to make the psu look good, but its half ass. If you ask anyone on the forums who have been building computers for a while, you will get the same answer.

 

[iamlegend]

No, brother that information is not correct. There are standards needed to comply so that you can sell your product.

 

[Bossyfins]

Show me please, there are standards, but companies reduce the price by using lower quality components, aka capacitors.

 

[iamlegend]

FCC and CE marks for example. The ratings of bronze, gold and platinum are available for each specific usage, of course you cannot expect 100% if it is rated at 50% right?

100% terrible advice. A rating means nothing in terms of quality. NOTHING. This is a common misconception. There are non-rated units that are VERY good quality like the Antec VP series, and there are tons of Bronze rated units that are AWFUL and will fry your system. Tons of companies even fake the labels. CM did for YEARS.

Nope, wrong. Companies do not follow any standards and release all manner of junk. There are PSUs on the market today labeled as "new" that use a decade old and dangerous design. There are TONS of downright unsafe PSUs on the market. Being "Japanese brand" Doesn't mean anything at all.

If it is rated at 50%, then it is NOT bronze,silver,gold,platinum rated at all as those ratings are ONLY for 80% and higher load. So if it says rated at 50% and has a bronze sticker, it is 100% false advertising and they are lying to you. Simple as that.

 

[iamlegend]

Well, as far as working in industry, an electronic/electric device which complies with the standards is a must.

 

[tiny voices]

that's fine, but PSU companies just lie and fake labels. happens ALL THE TIME. Just because you are supposed to do something, doesn;t mean everyone actually does it.

Coolermaster did it in the late 2000s. You can read about that with a simple google search.

Bottom line, the Thermaltake TR2 units are junk and should be avoided.

 

[iamlegend]

Well I cannot verify that, and the only thing to verify that claim is to see the test results and evaluate, until then it is safe to say that those PSUs are junk.

 

[tiny voices]

I have seen the results and I know they are junk. Just google the unit and read a review before you pass blind judgement on it. I have read reviews of the TR2 line from reputable places and therefore I am equipped to say what I did.

 

[iamlegend]

Ok, then.

Case closed.

Thermaltake TR2 = Guilty beyond unreasonable doubt.

 

[Jeremy Davis]

well ill just leave the thermal in my old system and look more into one for the one im gonna build.Thanks.
