Pretty decent build I'd rate it a good 7.5/10

 

[Bossyfins]

8/10. Horrible PSU choice though. Look into an XFX, Seasonic, or Antec 600 watt PSU.

 

[Outlander_04]

In general you'd be faster with a samsung 840 or 850 series SSD
The RAM might as well be red to match the motherboard heatsinks
and the psu is ok . Not all coolermaster psu's are low quality .
Personally Id rather have an 80+ gold 500 watt unit , but id the CM's price is right it will do the job

 

[darkie]

Guys thank you for the input. Which one of the suggested PSUs is 80+ rated and least noisy, do you know?

Again, thank for the support!

Never go with corsair. They make you waste money now-a-days.

Well since Bossy doesn't like the brand I chose / prefer over any other here is a wider variety.

Personally I don't trust EVGA so yeah taste differs

Its not that I dont like Corsair, they are literally wasting your money.


A x 760i

145$



And then this Antec one

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/antec-power-supply-hcp750platinum

107$...

While the AX and HX line is AMAZING, they fail to make a good price sadly.

However, i will say EVGA b2/g2/p2 units are probably the best units around. They are made by SuperFlower, the best PSU OEM maker at this current time.

With that argument you might as well say why buy a Mercedes Benz or BMW because they are more expensive than most cars so their price is too high.

You pay a premium for quality with the AX and HX AX1600i

There you can see Corsair is better but more expensive, the VW is not bad but it's no BMW.

OP I think you should get this one
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817171052
it's a good all round PSU and will suit your needs.

 

[Bossyfins]

There is no real argument to my comment. Both units have SeaSonic OEM parts in it.. Quality wise, same.

Only reason corsair one is expensive is because their is a 'BRAND' premium. Corsair was considered to be great and all, but their CX/CS/VS psus only show failed results of testing. If the CX750 cant even stand up to the FSP Raider 750, then there is something wrong.

You are more than obliged to continue to stand your point, but I am placing facts as well.

 

[Christiaan Lourens]

Yet none of the Corsair PSU's I listed were CS they were HX or AX so your argument was not entirely relevant because I agree with you on the CX fact.

 

[Bossyfins]

I understand you didnt list them, but AN antec 750 plat unit is pretty much the same as an AX760i in terms of quality. We should probably end this argument and go back to helping the OP lol

Well, Since I myself have been playing WoW for 6 years, I can say that this is a pretty decent build, only some minor changes that are probably for the best, and btw you definitely need a CPU Cooler:
