Hi this is my first PC build any feedback would be appreciated

CiT G Force Black Case
ASRock B250M-HDV
EVGA White 500W 80+ PSU
Crucial 8GB (1x 8GB) 2133MHz
Intel Pentium G4560 3.5GHz Dual Core (Socket 1151)
ASUS GeForce GTX 1050 2 GB GDDR5
Seagate BarraCuda 1 TB 3.5 inch Internal Hard Drive

Change that psu to a corsair cx 450 2017 model or seasonic s12 430w.
U can get 2400mhz rams. And try to get 2x4gb config.
Does that mobo have 4 ram slots? If so get one like the asrock pro4
That gtx 1050 is good only for e sports. Try to get a 1050ti for general gaming.


Aaand, if you have a bit more money, swap the g4560 and b250 for a ryzen 1300X and b350 mobo. Again like the asrock pro4.

swap it out with a standard 620 seasonic unit. it better unit at better price point. the extra wattage keep your rig on when gaming load.
Crucial 8GB (1x 8GB) 2133MHz
new pc run better with two same size dimms. pick up 8g kit that uses two 4g dimms.
Intel Pentium G4560 3.5GHz Dual Core (Socket 1151)
ASUS GeForce GTX 1050 2 GB GDDR5
look at the newer amd gpu that have dropped. they may be a better buy per dollar.

Change the PSU to an EVGA B3 450w or 550w. It is much better than the Seasonic S12ii/M12ii, vastly better than your current EVGA W1 option, and better than the Corsair CXM. The Corsair CX2017 has no reviews set so its quality/performance is unknown.

If the EVGA B3 is not available, the Corsair CXM 450w/ 550w is your next best option.

Guess I must have these links in bookmarks for a few days at least.

Yes, that is referring to the 2016 CXM model, which is actually good. Though what I pointed you out on was the new CX 2017 model, which even even manufactured by CWT and has 0 reviews.

^ no, it's the cx 2017 series.

I'm sure what you mean? The one you linked articles to is the 2016 series, which is quite obvious since the articles wer made in 2016.

There was the old CX green label PSUs. These were mediocre quality.
Then there was the grey label CXM units. These were very decent quality for the price.
Now there is the new CX 2017, which is made by Great Wall. This series has no reviews yet.

Dunno if I should believe that or not since it says it's made by great wall and that it 80+ silver. But the reality is its by cwt and its 80+ Bronze. The 80+ silver thing is what made me doubt it. And that article I linked states that corsair will release the new cx and vengeance, future tense.

Yes though that article was written last year and the year prior. 'Future' for then is now 'past for us. The vengeance and CXM grey units have already released quite a while ago (last year).
For further more proof, the Orion article stated the thre units in that series were the CX450, CX550, and CX650. Though the even new series actually contains a cx750 version.

An easy discerning factor between the two series, the CXM grey labeled are only semi modular and have been proven decent. The CX grey label are Non-modular, with no reviews.

Seriously, why would pcpartpicker name (Which I assume where the name originated) the new series "CX2017" if it were actually released in 2015/2016.

Allright, this would end only when proper reviews are out. More importantly, I am not basing my judgment on websites alone. I have asked experts here in Tom's too.
