Reddit mentions of Corsair Power Supplies , RM 750W CP-9020055-NA

Yeah, I know the feeling. I have a family member with the same general type of issue - it only poses issues with one high-demand game in particular - if it's swapped for an identical card, the thing works fine. Swap the original card back in, and it chain crashes.

What PSU are you running? I just did a build for someone that uses this one, and it appears to be on an ok sale.

If you have a 750+ watt PSU, you are prooooobably fine in that regard - it's really the GPU i'd look at first.

Hap hap hello there! I am a bot and you linked to Amazon.

>EDIT:

>I can understand the use of referral links and lots of people say they don't care. Nor do I honestly, except he wasn't contributing to this subreddit. He posted the exact setup 9 months (and 8 months) ago, this means he's here for the sole purpose to gain profit.
>
>Sure, he spent a lot of money, it's not disruptive, it's victimless, it doesn't hurt anyone and it's not a big deal. But it seems as if he's only here to earn money, he didn't even show a walkthrough of the computer build, he isn't a regular, he doesn't contribute to discussion. He posted multiple times like I've already mentioned and nothing has changed in all those posts.
>
>He's not here to show people his setup, he didn't even build anything. He's here to profit off us. Multiple posts of the same setup with all the affiliate links in every post, including links to something like a phone...
>
>Also, the problem is links like this act as infections. For approximately 24 hours (I think) after you've clicked a referral link, he will get a portion of the sale on anything you buy, so if you click a link to see the price of the something or investigate, he will earn money off everything you purchase in the next 24 hours off Amazon.

>I thought it was a bit suspicious how he documented absolutely every part of this "build" even though it isn't a build, it's a battlestation.

>He has since removed all information from his Reddit post, presumably after I commented about the Amazon links found in the post.
>
>It didn't look right because he provided links to every single item in this setup. All Amazon affiliate links, for him to make money off us.
>
>Not so bad though, right? Well, his Reddit username is "BlackWhite01", his Imgur username is "blackandwhitebattlestation", and he's been posting this absolutely identical set up on both Imgur and Reddit multiple times for a year.
>
>He did not intend to show off his battlestation, or even his computer build, he intended to come here and make money off of /r/battlestation and /r/buildapc mainly, but he's posted to a lot of other subreddits as well - presumably to pay off this setup and the ridiculous chair ($1,500).

I was able to get together a black/gold build. A little more subtle than a red/black setup.

Type | Item | Price | Store

--|:--|--:|:--:
CPU | i5 - 4690k | $230 | Amazon
Motherboard | ASUS H97M-Plus | $105 | Amazon
RAM | Corsair Vengeance Pro - 2x8GB | $176 | Newegg
GPU | ASUS 780 Ti | $458 | Newegg
SSD | 840 EVO | $70 | Newegg
HDD | WD Red 1TB | $70 | Newegg
Power Supply | Corsair RM750 | $110 | Amazon
Case | Corsair 350D | $100 | Newegg
|
| | Total w/ Shipping | $1364


 


Comments:


1. Half of the products are cheaper on Amazon.
2. The CPU cooler will be stock (the H80i is just too expensive for this build) however, it seems like you aren't looking at overclocking immediately. The stock cooler can always be replaced later.
3. After the rebates you might be able to get the H80i.
4. I had to go with a Micro-ATX setup to fit your budget. You won't have an SLI option in the future but then again, you are looking at a 780 Ti.
5. The 350D is quite open and will provide ample room for expansion.
6. The Newegg 780 Ti is black and fits the color scheme.

fuck ;-;

Edit: is this a good PSU? friend suggested it to me, but I was hoping not to spend so much... but if it lasts at least 2 years I'll be happy. (plan to do a whole new build in 2-3 yrs)

Note taken and thanks for the input. I just ordered one off amazon that "limegreenclown" recommended. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00EB7UITQ?cache=338cc45b52196b78050497d93be0faf1&pi=SX200_QL40&qid=1410404642&sr=8-3#ref=mp_s_a_1_3

How about this?

> HX750

the HX750i and RM 750

https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-HX750i-Modular-Platinum-Certified/dp/B00M2UINC8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483558350&sr=8-1&keywords=HX750

https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-RM750-Modular-Supply-Certified/dp/B00EB7UITQ/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1483558220&sr=8-15&keywords=HX750

Are considerably cheaper any thoughts on those?

Thanks man.

Edit: Got any Fully modular ones?

Edit: Found one link

For SLI config, you'll need another mobo and a min of 750W PSU.

i5-4690K will not be bottleneck anytime soon.

I suggest you using a single Powerful GPU than a dual config.

Example :

Mobo : MSI Z97-G55 SLI

PSU : Corsair RM 750W 80+ Gold

GPU : ASUS R9 290 4GB for about the same price as EVGA GTX 770 4GB

Go with this build, but use this power supply Corsair RM Series 750 Watt ATX/EPS 80PLUS Gold-Certified Power Supply - CP-9020055-NA RM750 by Corsair http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EB7UITQ/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_Sqsgtb1QN1AHV

the 750watts are http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Series-80PLUS-Gold-Certified-Supply/dp/B00EB7UITQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1407370028&sr=8-2&keywords=corsair+750w

In fact, that's exactly the kind of PSU you're looking for. I use a Corsair modular PSU to run my AntMiners. You just need to insert a jumper wire to trick it into thinking it's plugged into a motherboard or else it won't turn on.

Edit: This is a good PSU and should be able to handle just about anything you throw at it. http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Series-80PLUS-Gold-Certified-Supply/dp/B00EB7UITQ/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1406324980&sr=8-4&keywords=corsair+modular+power+supply

Second Edit: Just don't cheap out on the PSU you buy. Don't buy anything less than gold-certified or else you'll be risking starting a fire.

Personally, I'd recommend this PSU and MOBO. Also I'd go with Windows 7, but that's purely based upon preference.
