Ps: 16gb of ram is neccessary for me

What about:

Cooler Master MWE 600 Bronze, 80+ Bronze Certified 600W Power Supply

 

[Deleted member 14196]

don't skimp on a GOOD PSU. you won't be sorry. we, from experience are speaking to you. take it or leave it. SeaSonic Focus series is good. for your power hungry card, and if you want to OC, use something like this

or don't.

This fella went and "upgraded" to a corsair VS.... after he first skimped out on his PSU in the first place.

personally ive never seen a build or know anyone that uses that lineup of PSU.
and googling for reviews i can only find one that says its decent but uses cheap chinese caps.

but you can try and use it.

my final recommendation, just save up abit more till you can afford a good quality PSU.

Is a corsair VS psu good?

 

[DarkViking657]

I mean it is white not bronze but I think its good the thing is....

I know like everything about all pc parts I am experienced in all of that EXCEPT The power supply I dont know much about them.

 

[DarkViking657]

Also i found 2 power supplies that seem very good and not too expensive

Rosewill Photon 650w Gold Modular

Rosewill Capstone Gold Modular 650w

 

[feelinfroggy777]

I would not select that rosewill model as others have said. Not all PSUs are created equal. But a good 550 watt PSU will be enough. Below is a Seasonic Focus Gold 550 watt PSU that is $50 after the rebate. That is a pretty good deal.

Also, do you live near a Microcenter? If so, they have 1600 going for $80 plus you get $30 of the mobo, which is an excellent deal.

Just because its 550w doesn't mean it outputs 550w. If you want to use your rig for 2, 3+ years I'd highly recommend saving up a little longer for a good quality PSU. It's a good chance you might run into MUCH more expensive headaches down the line if you go for a cheapo unit.

Ye but there is no way its hungry enough to max out 500w I heard its possible to run an rtx 2080 with 500w

If the RTX 2080 is running on a 500w PSU, it's either barely functioning, or its a super efficient unit. Anyways, the "best" cheap PSUs I suppose are EVGA ones like @j3ster suggested.

The VS series from Corsair is meant to power desktops not gaming rigs

Note: Depending on the games you are trying to play - and the settings - you will find that a $750 budget may not suffice to achieve 144 FPS to saturate your monitor. You may want to wait a little bit longer to have a larger budget. eBay is a great place to find your parts for cheaper.

• A high quality PSU is rated for at least the amount written. A low quality PSU is rated for at most the amount written. This is why everyone above is trying to sell you a different power supply. EVGA and Seasonic are great brands, I'd recommend at least a 700W power supply for your system. This is because you always want to leave more headroom than you need, as the power supply will be most efficient and safe when not under full load.
• I'd recommend at least the Ryzen 7 2700X if you want to saturate 144 FPS in most games.
• The Vega 56 is more than powerful enough for most games at 144 FPS.
• The memory you have picked out is fast - and will compliment your system well.
• I'd recommend a better SSD. Western Digital and Samsung are my top picks. I would find a budget M.2 so you can make use of that slot. Just make sure if you do it's not a SATA M.2 drive.
• You should get yourself a HDD to store your games as well. A 1 TB Western Digital HDD usually goes for around $30 on eBay.

This is just my analysis of the situation. Hope this helps.

What about the rosewill 650w Photon Gold Rated? Its only 75$ and is fully modular

 

[DarkViking657]

And I think 500GB is enough for me I dont have that large amount of games and if I need more storage later I could always hook up an hdd

 

[DarkViking657]

Guys I found a

Seasonic Focus 550w Gold Semi-Modular for 75$ is it good?

 

[likeag6]

I think you have a little unrealistic expectation of budget and performance.
Depending on the game, i hate to break it to you but 750 dollars is not enough for newest games at 144hz
Your only realistic option is used hardware at this budget.

My friend you can actually do it at like 775$ its not something that unreal.
The only problem I have is everyone above is telling me that the psu might not be suitable with this build but I think I found the power supply I need

The Seasonic Focus Gold 550w

 

[prince_xaine]

This power supply is sufficient. I still would recommend a higher quality power supply than you have mentioned thus far.

 

[Deleted member 14196]

I found an average of 120 to 130 fps on the combo and I have seen reviews about the psu I think its good enought

I just want a wroking one.

May I ask where you found this information? I’m still not convinced you can play at 1440 P smoothly for that price. If you saw this on YouTube then you cannot trust it. If you have a friend with the specs then you may be able to duplicate their settings for similar performance

Yeah man. Ppl with $2k systems are dumb. This guy can do with a $700 system at 1440p what others do with a $2k system.

He has effectively managed to square the circle.

High-end GPU's and CPU's are totally useless. We should all totally sell our $2k Intel/NVIDIA system and buy a Radeon Vega GPU and a $100 Ryzen and be done with it.

 

[Deleted member 14196]

😀 Yeah my second post after his first post was telling him that I didn’t think it could really do 144 because I’m pretty sure that video card and CPU combo cant.

Still it’s not a bad PC

1080p not 1440....

But you can check at several websites I saw a couple reviews one of them is at gpucheck.com

I dont want 144fps on 1440p....

All i want is 144fps on 1080p on medium to high settings

 

[DarkViking657]

A friend of mine got 132fps average on most games with a 1700 and rtx 2060 (which is pretty much equal to the vega 56) and even if there is a slight difference The cpu difference should be the same

 

[j3ster]

umm RTX 2060 is faster in most cases vs the Vega 56 plus it does eat less power. if you can get one id suggest going for the RTX 2060 tbh.
