PC Upgrade

[tamzzy]

The corsair one looks good

had a typo (now corrected) it's the cx650m

non-mudular?

fixed cables

mudular

plug in only the cables that you need.

semi-modular (like the corsair and coolermaster mentioned above) = fixed cables that are essential, and modular cables for the non-essential cables.

Though so,so it just makes the build a bit more tidy

Many thanks

ah,many thanks for explaining it,im a total noob when it comes to this stuff but am leaning very quick and watching some you tube vids

so this is a pic of that graph on mine

I think the speed with which everyone has piled in to say don't do it should give you a clue on this!

So that PSU has two 12v rails, each with a theoretical maximum draw of 216w. Factor in an efficiency loss and it's really not that good.

The Coolmaster PSU I linked above would be good - certified efficiency and capable of delivering a lot of power down a single 12v rail. (Edit: see someone else's response above)

Or something like this Zalman: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/zalman-700tx-700w-80-plus-230v-eu-power-supply-ca-098-za.html

Not sure what they are like on loudness or if that's a problem for you.

Spending a bit more money above this might get you some of: higher wattage, greater efficiency, longevity of components, modular cables, quieter etc. Getting something a bit better and overpowered can reduce the risk of needing to upgrade again. I bought my Corsair TX 850W in September 2009 and I have no reason to think it needs to be replaced with my next upgrade.

can't really honestly recommend that rubbish too...sure it's not in the dumpster league as the jeantech, but it ain't far off.

whats the Benifit of mudular and non-mudular? apart from i can see the wire plug in and others are fixed?

You've got it. It's simply easier to manage the cables,you only plug in the cables you need and it looks cleaner.

Haha, fair enough. I think Zalman were good 10-15 years ago but times have moved on!

yeah. the only half-decent things from zalman nowadays are their budget cases and a few of their cpu coolers.

I have the coolmaster mb520 so power supply and none needed wires would be hidden anyway

may go 650W Corsair VS650, Fully Wired

or 700W Cooler Master MasterWatt Lite V2, Fully Wired

if you want to go a bit upmarket then the bitfenix formula 650w is good. gold rated. but it's non-modular.

out of stock currently though.

I'm taking the plunge to build a new Ryzen system too.

Food for thought: Higher RAM frequency and go with 2600 unless uncomfortable with overclocking

Good luck!

I dont want to overclock,just want plug and play sort of thing

In that case the 2600x will be right up your street and should hold for some time
