What's the best Best PSU for upcoming PC gaming build.

[George Mooey]

I'm very new to building a pc and have a strict budget that ranges from 500-520. Anything vastly above that is just simply outside my budget and way too much.
A nice person on this forum recommended a build to me for the specific games I play along with using Photoshop to draw for occupation purposes.

The PSU he recommended was about 35-40 bucks about 2 days ago but recently spiked to the price of 65 bucks with 20 dollar rebate. I simply cannot afford this and would like to look for a cheaper but effective PSU for my system. If you'd like to criticize the the rest of the build, feel free to while keeping my budget in mind. Thanks in advice 😀

That is pretty much the best low end psu you can get, 20$ really isnt that much dude,,, just save up and buy the thing....

The price range I posted is simply the best I can afford currently and this is based on me planning to buy the parts on cyber monday. I cannot go that much higher unfortunately. Is there really no other alternative?

Ill check it out, gimme a sec

No, Sorry, dude seriously just quickly save some money, the one place you shouldnt go cheap IS your psu... A crap psu puts your entire system at risk

if you say so :/ then how about lowering the price on other parts of my build? The games i really play normally are Tera online and League of legends (although I run league fairly well on my crappy toshiba laptop, so im sure a gaming rig wont have issues with it). Im also looking to play other games if i do get a gaming rig, like Ultra street fighter 4, Nidhogg, Evil within, DMC4, etc.

Sure, Ill check out where you can lower your price!!!

I Would have suggested a hyper 212 evo cooler,mbut im not sure if it will fit

thanks for being patient with me! Im just really looking to play these games well on a pc, meaning no major FPS drops and so on and at least near max settings. doesnt have to be max settings efficient but it would be nice if they were.

 

[ThatAfricanDude]

Hang on Im trying to throw together a better rig for the same price!!!

Ah, Austin videos are always helpful! I actually was thinking of using his video as a build but wasnt too confident without getting a second opinion! Thanks for the info. Also, quick question. is it best to wait till black friday/cyber monday to get this stuff or what?

Id grab them now if its your budget, you never know when the prices spikes!!
