PSU Help

Cant make my mind up on which one of these to get, though I'm slightly going towards the BeQuiet.

Akasa Venom 550w Modular £53.99
BeQuiet Pure Power L7 430W £43.99
Corsair Builder Series CX 430w Modular £43.99
Antec Neo Eco C 450w £49.99

Don't worry about what it's going to power that's not the issue the issue is which one to buy.

Any help would be appreciated

I did say don't worry about what it's going to power because it isn't much.

This is the system so like I said the BeQuiet is adequate enough.

It's a basic pc nothing much going to be done on it, I might even change the motherboard yet to save more money.

Why settle for a fairly weak psu when a better one is only £6 extra?

It's not for me m8 and the lad only has a budget of £380

This look better then

Looking back at the A75 board I couldn't see any benefit for him over the A55 which does have sata3 but no sata6, he won't bothered about USB3.

The differences with sata3 & 6 well he won't see much of it with what he will be using this board for so a saving on the A55 board is the best option.

That ram does seem slightly better and cheaper like you said.

Ps just noticed they also do the kingston ram with the same timing as the corsair.

ahh yeah sorry my mistake on the sata 3, that saving on the psu does make the A75 a much better option.

Thanks for your help m8 it's much appreciated I'm trying to save him cash but if I (we) can come up with better options for the same price that's a bonus.

Replied to your mail thanks m8.

I know what you mean about the ssd that's why I have picked one he ain't really bothered anymore with the size of the drive just so a faster ssd is better for him.

Yeah I seen that board m8 I did ask in the support forum if they were getting that board back in stock before actually seeing it in the b-grade section I also asked cheekily could it be checked if there was an i/o shield in but then told support to disregard that because he wanted a new board.

Been looking at AMD mainly because I was trying to keep the price down because a dedicated graphics card isn't needed so never really looked into Intel systems.

Based on the A4 5300 graphics wouldn't that be a better option than that intel system?

That reply I sent to your email failed m8

All it said was that I am original from Manchester and that's where I used to shop and 22in is too big for where it will be sitting.

Yeah m8 I call every gent a lad no matter what age, he is 66 no youngster.

Though he being an ex drill sergeant he still thinks he's young in mind anyway.

He's on is way round now actually leaving the money for his goods and here is the end product.

Changed the case as well which saved £8 and with free shipping we have saved him £28.
