600w PSU

[ididi9]

I don't know really what to go for, Im getting

Cooler Master Elite 430 Windowed Case - Black

Gigabyte 970A-DS3 AMD 970A (Socket AM3+) DDR3 Motherboard

Corsair Vengeance Blue Low Profile 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CML8GX3M2A1600C9B)

AMD Bulldozer FX-4 Quad Core 4170 Black Edition 4.20Ghz (Socket AM3+) Processor - Retail

MSI HD 7870 Black Knight OC 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card

I was going get a 600w to cover myself for anything I decided to do, the case comes with 2 Fans and I was going to add my over two from this case to the spare mounts, what PSU should I get?

I'm planning on gaming, I don't really want spend anything over than £80 I just want make sure it can accommodation all the fans. Im not bothered about it being modular, as long as the cables are long enough so I can organize them to maximize airflow.

 

[ididi9]

Are the ones said before fine for what I've said now

 

[RJC]

Yes

Have bought your items yet and what is your total build budget?

 

[tamzzy]

i know its not the question you asked, but i have to say it anyway.
dont get the amd bulldozer. get an intel i5k instead.

What a ridiculous statement. Maybe his budget won't stretch to a CPU twice as expensive?

I wouldn't say it's ridiculous, you could go for a cheaper PSU and a 7850, and not be spending much more at all.

I would have got the PD over the BD. BD is shockingly bad.

What a ridiculous statement. Maybe his budget won't stretch to a CPU twice as expensive?

or maybe his budget could be balanced better? ;p

 

[ididi9]

With the PSU I'm on my Budget, Can't go any higher, Any suggestions are welcome.

Nothing is bought yet.

Also: Is this Ok, I'm really not fussed about it being modular http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-292-CM

 

[tamzzy]

what is your budget?

 

[ididi9]

Well, I was originally under £400. When I realised I'd need a new case and PSU I managed to get around £480 which gave me £100 to buy a PSU and Case as the parts I found came to £380

Would a 6300 be a better choice CPU?

 

[tamzzy]

and i assume you'll be carrying over your ssd/hdd/odd/heatsink?

 

[ididi9]

HDD and Disk Drive is fine

my take on your budget. sure the mobo and processor cant be overclocked, but its a hell lot better than the bulldozer in your original post

 

[ididi9]

What if I used a 6300 instead?

And may I ask what in-particular is wrong with the BullDozer

 

[tamzzy]

[ididi9]
