Hellooo
What's good about the 2 PSUs

* MSI MAG A750GL
* Antec GSK750 ATX 3.1

build is

CPU (Processor)	Ultra 5 245K
Motherboard	ASUS TUF GAMING B860-PLUS WIFI
CPU Cooler	NOCTUA NH-D15 Chromax Black (Air Cooler)
RAM (Memory)	32GB DDR5
Storage (SSD)	Samsung 990 PRO 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe
GPU (Graphics Card)	NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti

Antec GSK750 ATX 3.1

Mediocre quality, borderline good quality. Tier B+.
Should have FDB fan but review showed rife bearing.

MSI MAG A750GL

Mediocre quality. Tier B.
Poorly tuned protections, mediocre transient response and low quality fan.


For proper PSU for gaming rig, Tier A is proper. Like: Seasonic Focus/Vertex/PRIME, Corsair RMx/RMi/HXi/AXi, Super Flower Leadex Gold/Platinum/Titanium.

Tier A- will do too, while Tier A+ is preferred.
(My 3x PCs are solely powered by Tier A PSUs. Namely, i have Seasonic PRIME 650 Titanium (Tier A+), Seasonic PRIME Ultra 650 Titanium (Tier A+) and Seasonic Focus PX-550 (Tier A). Full specs with pics in my sig.)

Ultra 5 245K

Why?

Higher price with worse performance compared to Ryzen 9000-series. R5 9600X would be much better. Cheaper also.

R5 9600X is 70 bucks cheaper and offers ~10 FPS more on 1080p,

I have yet to see anyone in their right mind, who willingly pays more money for worse performance.

Thanks for the fast response, and this link will help

about cpu
iam not a fan of Ryzen, unfortunately, But the performance difference is not so much

if i think of ryzen i should go with Ryzen 7 9700X as prices are
AMD Ryzen 5 9600X 13800
Intel Core Ultra 5 245K 15000
AMD Ryzen 7 9700X 15500 (MBK)

if i think of ryzen i should go with Ryzen 7 9700X as prices are
AMD Ryzen 5 9600X 13800
Intel Core Ultra 5 245K 15000
AMD Ryzen 7 9700X 15500 (MBK)

There is negligible performance diff in games between R5 9600X and R7 9700X. So, unless you absolutely need the extra 0.5% better performance on 1080p and two extra CPU cores with 4 extra threads, then go with R7 9700X. Though, on 1440p, you'd get 0.5% lower performance and on 4K 0.4% lower performance.

For gaming R5 9600X is solid option. But if you want the best, then king of games is R7 9800X3D. It also costs accordingly.

Even when performance would be completely equal (which it isn't), between U5 245K and R5 9600X, it doesn't make any sense to pay 1200 more just because.

On top of that U5 245K is 125W CPU, with turbo up to 159W. While R5 9600X and R7 9700X are both 65W CPUs.
So, with half the power consumption, they both offer a bit better performance while R5 9600X is considerably cheaper.

While i too prefer Intel, have used Intel CPUs for the last 10 years, but my brand loyalty isn't that strong that i'd be paying more money for a worse performance. So, this time around, i'm going with Ryzen, since Ryzen CPUs at current day and age, offer the best value (price to performance ratio). Come next month, and i'd be going with R7 9800X3D.

Entire Intel Core Ultra 200-series is waste of money.
With the extra 1200 that R5 9600X is cheaper than U5 245K, you could get e.g better/more RAM, better SSD or pocket the difference.
But if money isn't an issue, go with U9 285K and call it a day.

The RTX 4060ti is not particularly power hungry. Both of those units are plenty sufficient quality+wattage for that system, regardless of if you go with Intel or AMD Ryzen.

If you do plan to upgrade in the future you may want to consider a higher quality unit, however.
