what psu should i chose

what psu should i chose Xigmatek Vector G650 650W Semi Modular, 80 Plus Gold or Cooler Master 650W GX-2 -Pro Active PFC - 80PLUS BRONZE.

Neither, both of those units are terrible.

What's your build? If you need a 650W PSU this is one of the best brands:

EDIT: If you have no other choice but to select between these two, the Cooler Master is better than the Xigmatek. Still not great quality, but better.

so can you advice me 1100$ pc build

With a budget of $1100 I could build a computer on pcpartpicker that will max out most games if that's what you'll be doing with it.

What do you need, any peripherals? Mouse, keyboard, monitor, OS?

so if i have to pick 2 of those psu i should pick the cooler master one right

 

[Bennet John]

i have one g skill ripzjaws x 8gb 1600mhz but it single channel do i have to pick your ram

 

[Silverbear]

Yes, the Cooler Master is better than the Xigmatek.

You can use one chip of RAM but you lose 18% of memory bandwidth, there won't be a noticeable difference when gaming, but if you do a lot of photo and video editing you want dual channel.

so should i chose giga or zotac for the 970

so should i chose giga or zotac for the 970

The Gigabyte G1 Gaming is one of the fastest by about 1-3 fps, but also the largest so you have to make sure it will fit.

Zotac is cheaper but it shows, their heatsinks and fans aren't as good or as quiet as other brands, I can't usually recommend any of their products unless a person's budget demands it.

For the GTX 970, I highly recommend either the MSI Gaming G4 or the Asus Strix they have the best cooling solutions, they are whisper quiet while gaming and their fans turn off when they're below 60c to give you a totally quiet experience.
