$50 psu that is more than enough for this system

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138372&cm_re=am3%2b-_-13-138-372-_-Product

$50 motherboard.

why you would pick such an expensive motherboard is beyond me when trying to do a comparison. motherboards offer almost NO performance improvements.

not to mention the cpu is more akin to amd's apu series, its an overclocked jaguar chip.

edit: https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-WHITE-Warranty-Supply-100-W1-0430-KR/dp/B00H33SDR4

here is one of the best budget power supplies that is HIGHLY rated for $32, 500w version for $38

Hey p_orsk,

So glad to hear that we have another HomeLabber in our midst. I just thought I would take a minute and share with you my current build that has suited me very well. It is completely silent and power efficient, while still powerful enough to do what you want plus more. My build was also built to be small profile so this build is built around a Micro-ITX case. This build cost me $500 in the US in 2017, don't quite know what the price would be now.

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Processor with Wraith Spire Cooler
  
• Motherboard: ASUS PRIME A320M-K AMD Ryzen AM4 DDR4 HDMI VGA M.2 USB 3.1 Micro-ATX Motherboard
  
• PSU: EVGA 430 W1, 80+ WHITE 430W
  
• RAM: HyperX FURY Black 16GB Kit (2x8GB) 2133MHz DDR4
  
  As I said, this build should be completely silent. I went into the BIOS settings and turned it on Power-Saver mode for good measure, which makes things run a bit warmer, but keeps fan speeds down.
  
  I didn't list storage here, as it sounds like you got that covered. This motherboard also supports M.2 if you want to add that later.
  
  If I can make one suggestion, I would highly recommend getting into Virtualization. My poison of choice is Proxmox. I could really get into this, but it really helps when you are trying to expand.
  
  If you have any other questions, feel free to comment on this post, or shoot me a DM. I would be happy to help!
  
  [EDIT] This is just my experience. You will get 110 different answers from 100 different people in this world. You kinda just have to tinker to get what works for you.

And now I regret not using pcpartpicker and just setting it to US & Amazon..

From your other topic for anyone else interested in this kind of project:

That CPU has about 2.2k passmark score, enough for one 1080 stream (about 2k score per client). The 8gb ram is probably overkill, but it's cheap so why not. About 134 watt consumption if you run headless. Have fun :)

A "550W" with split 12v rails that only output a combined 384W with different amps on each rail? That's generally not a good sign.

Imo, $25 on this is a better deal ; https://smile.amazon.com/EVGA-WHITE-Warranty-Supply-100-W1-0430-KR/dp/B00H33SDR4/

Or the $35 on this : https://smile.amazon.com/EVGA-BRONZE-Warranty-Tester-100-B1-0450-K1/dp/B01F5LX55K

For those that have amazon Prime, I'd hop on this. I just bought one and I don't have to deal with the MIR

https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-WHITE-Warranty-Supply-100-W1-0430-KR/dp/B00H33SDR4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1481315921&sr=8-2&keywords=430w+power+supply

550W is overkill for this. You could go with a 300W unit or whatever is cheaper.

$29 EVGA 430W 80+

I am not sure. I say just don't take the risk and buy a cheap PSU, there are many great budget PSUs for around $30 like this one.

Wait a minute! I redid the build using Amazon instead of PCPartPicker. Better build for cheaper. Give me a second!

Here is the build:

• Windows 7
  
• EVGA 430W Power Supply
  
• Western Digital Caviar Blue 1 TB HDD
  
• Rosewill Ranger-M Case
  
• EVGA GTX 750 Ti Superclocked
  
• Kingston HyperX Blu 8 GB RAM
  
• Gigabyte Motherboard
  
• AMD Athlon X4 760K CPU
  
• DVD Drive
  
  
  Comes to a grand total (with prime shipping) of $610.28!
  
  

Sure! It's this one. I went for the lowest wattage I could find as this system has very low requirements and also looked for something with a 120mm fan so it would be as quiet as possible.

Hey, sorry about the late reply. I had an early night (received your message at 11pm here in the UK).

Thanks for the picture. That seems to be a generic PSU. It may run fine for now but who knows how long it will last, and what it might take along with it, if it does end up dying. It would be ideal that you upgrade to a decent PSU with an 80 plus rating. Such as this.

The 750 ti would do you just fine. You can check out some benchmarks, here. You should be getting around an average of 45fps in Far Cry 4 at 1080p and a solid 60fps in Skyrim (set to ultra, with anti aliasing turned down). However, it will struggle when trying to run ACU, as it's a terribly optimized game which even 980s in SLI have trouble running at a stable 60fps.

If you have the money to spend, I'd recommend you upgrade your PSU to something like this and going for the gtx 970.

Feel free to give me shout if you have any questions. =]

EVGA 430w

80+ efficiency, reputable brand, and decent cables.
Can be had for 5-10$ cheaper though, I'd say its still worth it.

I would get a cheaper gpu and cheaper psu and not bother with that sketchy amazon vendor for ram. using pcpp, these look solid

The PSU is probably not very good, and I don't really understand AMDs naming scheme, but the CPU looks okay, the GPU is perfectly fine, the case looks pretty cool, and AFAICT it should be fine for cooling, if it ever seems to be under performing, or less than six months after you get it, I suggest putting in a better PSU, at least rated for 400 watts, any name brand should be fine, because I'm not in europe I can't really tell you which one would be both cheap and good, but in america this one is pretty much the best PSU on a budget.

I'm sorry Automod, pcpartpicker's referral links are the bane of my existence.

Hey it's me again. I have a HP p7-1120 and need a new power supply cus I got a new video card. I want this one but how do I know if it'll fit?

I'd recommend a PSU from a more reputable brand:

http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-80PLUS-Certified-ATX12V-100-W1-0430-KR/dp/B00H33SDR4

The website says it has a 300w PSU. Technically speaking there should be no problem since the 750 ti has a very low power intake.
To be on the safe side I would suggest getting this PSU
http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-80PLUS-Certified-ATX12V-100-W1-0430-KR/dp/B00H33SDR4/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1411319791&sr=1-3&keywords=psu

Get any computer power supply. This is the first one that came up on amazon and it will do up to 34 amps on the 12V rail: https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-WHITE-Warranty-Supply-100-W1-0500-KR/dp/B00H33SDR4

Edit: Amazon also has some for ~$20.

Thank you for taking the time to help me with this build. I appreciate the help from someone who is experienced with building PCs. I have a couple of new questions about the parts in the list you provided:
Why did you upgrade it to 16GB of RAM? I'm not planning on doing VR gaming, and I've learned through doing some online research that the most RAM that a large majority of games need is 8GB.
Since this configuration consumes only 230W, could I just downgrade the PSU to this one?
I noticed that none of the vendors in your list are Amazon. My original thinking was that it would be cheaper to ship these parts all at the same time using Amazon Prime. Do these other vendors offer better support/customer service?
Here's a new list that I came up with, based on your recommendations:


Part | Name | Price ($)
---|---|---
Motherboard|MSI Pro Series Intel B250 LGA 1151 DDR4 HDMI USB 3.1 micro-ATX | 79.99
GPU|MSI GTX 1050 TI 4GT OC | 139.99

I bought a 430 EVGA Power supply. Here is the link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H33SDR4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And i bought the EXP GDC V8: http://www.banggood.com/NGFF-Version-V8_0-EXP-GDC-Beast-Laptop-External-Independent-Video-Card-Dock-p-1009978.html?rmmds=search


I believe you can get a better connection with a pe4c v4.1: http://www.hwtools.net/Adapter/PE4C%20V4.1.html

It's more expensive than the GDC dock. I havent done it yet since I'm in college and my schedule is quite busy. I don't exactly have the funds yet either lol.

I would suggest a 1060, since bottlenecking is a factor. If you buy a 1070, you probably won't be able to harness all of it power, thus decreasing the price to performance ratio when compared to a 1060.

Good Luck!

The maker of the video says that he found several components on sale/used, as well as took advantage of rebates. He doesn't include mouse and keyboard into the price because 99% of people have that already, as well as a monitor because even a tv could be used.

Case: Cooler Master Wavemaster ($10)
Honestly, computers can be built into a cardboard box if need be.

CPU: i5 750 ($55)

CPU Cooler: Arctic Silver 11 GT ($6)

Motherboard: Asus P7H55 ($67)

PSU: EVGA 430W ($15)

Memory: 4GB OCZ DDR2 ($30)

HDD: 320GB Samsung Spinpoint ($20)

GPU: MSI GTX 760 ($140)

The computer will run Crisis 3 on ultra settings at 30fps. Dark Souls 2 can be played at 4K(DSR) at 60fps. The Witcher 3 and Fallout 4 on high at 30fps. There's more but im tired of typing.

Thanks!

It's this psu: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H33SDR4/ref=as_li_tl?tag=austevan-20&ie=UTF8&linkId=fd23a6f3ce997c56eddb27233d46a81a

Here's the basic parts list to build a bucket like this:

• 2x 5 Gal buckets with lids (one for res, one for light top.) More buckets for spacers. (check your home improvement store of choice.)
  
• A big roll of black duct tape. This
  
• A roll of FlexFix tape. This
  
• A couple of space blankets. This
  
• A can of 3M spray adhesive. This is the good stuff
  
• 5x light sockets with plug ends. These
  
• 5x Philips SlimStyle LED "75w" 2700k. These
  
• Some heatshrink tubing. Looks good
  
• Some lamp cord and hookup wire. This, And This
  
• A roll of flux/rosin core solder. Your Choice, this looks okay
  
• An airpump. This one is awesome, This will do
  
• Some airstones. [This] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002JLA83C/)
  
• A distribution manifold. At least a 3 way
  
• Some air lines. This, Or This
  
• A length of 3/4" pvc pipe and a plug (check your home improvement store of choice).
  
• A water dripper system. [This] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002JAY6E/)
  
• Either a netpot and a bucket lid with a hole cut in it OR a premade netpot/bucket lid. This if you want to save some work
  
• Some PC fans. [These are nice and cheap] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NTUJZ36/)
  
• A PSU to run the fans and LED strip side lights you might add on spacers. This. It's 80+ at least. I had a few extra PSUs around. I wouldn't use one that isn't at least 80+ since it will be running 24/7.
  
  Lots of this stuff can be had cheaper at a home improvement or pet store. Check around. You'll need a soldering iron (I like my adjustable 40w), a drill and drill bits up to 3/4" (I like step bits for work on plastic), a heatgun or lighter to shrink that heatshrink tubing. An infrared thermometer is nice to have and can tell you the temp of your nutrients, the plant itself, your lights, etc...Just make sure to calibrate it first, all the cheap ones are inaccurate by at least a few degrees.
  

You can use a contactor and a computer psu.

Connect the contactor coil to one of the timer's outlets, the PSU to the NO and NC contacts, and the leds to the other end of the NO and NC contacts

More than you need, but it's cheap.

This is the cheapest power supply I feel comfortable recommending:

http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Continuous-Warranty-Supply-100-W1-0430-KR/dp/B00H33SDR4/

It's not satan, but this is about the same price, and much better.

I would drop the cpu cooler since the i3-6100 comes with one and that will be sufficient enough. The gtx 1060 is better than the 1050ti for only $50 more. Also the wifi card you have is overpriced and this does the same for cheaper. And I doubt you really need a cd writer but your choice. This is also a cheaper psu with close to the same wattage.

That power supply cannot support that card. 17A on 12V rail with a 95W CPU and 75W GPU is not nearly enough. Combine that with the fact it is over 10 years old, and you will literally burn out all of your parts when it explodes.

Seriously, you can kiss your brand new GPU and the rest of it goodbye when that thing fails, which it will, because it's running over full load.

Get one of these ASAP.

It an EVGA 430w. One of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H33SDR4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_mlXtyb0QVGH1J

RX 460 is a budget card that costs $100 if you're only looking for games at that level, that should be fine. Don't expect to be playing Overwatch or anything. (EDIT: Actually the 460 can play overwatch at 60fps, TIL)

https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-WHITE-Warranty-Supply-100-W1-0430-KR/dp/B00H33SDR4/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1482160125&sr=1-1&keywords=evga+430

EVGA is a quality PSU brand and it likely doesn't even cost more than the one you had out. Just in case, that brand you had has been known to short out if you get close to it's rated power. Only get that PSU if you want to break your machine.

The CPU is super good for what you want to do with your PC, the power supply covers what you need to power the PC, you could probably shell out another $20 and get a trustworthy one like the EVGA 430W which gives you a good warranty and replacement in case something goes wrong with your build.

EVGA 430W for $29.99 from Amazon

Any thoughts on this one?

Yeah, for $30 you can get an 80+ bronze 350-450watt brand new.

Are CPU power cable extensions universal? I'm changing out a PSU, last PSU was installed at a shop. The CPU cable has a little extension, (looks like this guy) If I can leave the extension in it'll save me having to remove the mobo, but I don't want to fry anything.

I'm installing a EVGA 450 bronze to replace a faulty EVGA 430W psu.

Edit: Oh also, that 430 is way more expensive than the 450; is it higher quality? I bought that 450 for $10 after MIR for a quick fix without any downtime on the computer. I can still RMA the 430 and put it back in if it's a better/stronger/more reliable part.

All in all the parts below are pretty damn nice and not overkill for what you need. Very good cpu imo (using one in a current build), quality msi mobo, not a crazy power supply (most people go overboard with their psu) and the case.... don't even get me started. So good! Best of luck to you and your build

That's PCIe. Even better you have full height slots so you can buy a less expensive GTX 750 / 750 ti. Heck, you'll save enough over the half height 750/750ti cards that you could buy a new power supply if need be.

• GTX 750 1GB - $109 - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IDG3LUO/
  
• GTX 750 ti 2GB - $140 - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IDG3PRI/
  
• GTX 750 ti 2GB (Factory overclocked) - $150 - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IDG3IDO/ (Extra Performance) - There's a good reason why this is #1 on Amazon's Video card sales.

• Cheapest without rebate - EVGA 430 watt - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H33SDR4/

Would one of these suffice?

EVGA 430w White

EVGA 500w White

I'd prefer the cheaper one only cause I can get it tomorrow if I can't find something at Best Buy.

Hi, So I built my current rig back in April 2017 and thought I'd upgrade this black friday but I dont know what to upgrade. I'm running:

​

Case: Fractal Design Core 1000 USB 3.0 Case

​

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-H110M-A LGA1151 Intel H110 Micro ATX DDR4 Motherboard

​

Processor: Intel 3.70 GHz Core i3-6100 3M

​

Graphics card: GIGABYTE Geforce GTX 1050 2GB

​

RAM: 1 stick of Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB DDR4 Dram

​

Power Supply: EVGA 430 W1

​

Storage: WD Blue 1TB Sata Hard Drive

​

This is the only PC I've ever built and I've never upgraded before. I would like to upgrade my CPU because its an i3 and I know its getting outdated but I dont know if thats the only thing needing an upgrade. I usually get 150+ frames on Counter-Strike and around 120fps on Overwatch but these are all on low settings. However I just recently bought BO4 and can barely run at 60 fps at low. Any advice as to what processor I need to upgrade to?

​

​

First try and test it with this https://www.amazon.com/HDE-Power-Supply-Tester-PCI-E/dp/B005UZHB6G/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1497108802&sr=1-2&keywords=power+supply+tester

And if it's no good replace it with this
https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-WHITE-Warranty-Supply-100-W1-0430-KR/dp/B00H33SDR4/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1497108757&sr=8-4&keywords=350+watt+power+supply

Sorry for the late response i completely forgot about this! Heres the part fam:
https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-WHITE-Power-Supply-100-W1-0430-KR/dp/B00H33SDR4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487707327&sr=8-1&keywords=evga+430w

I couldn't find it on pcpartpicker.

It's not a question of price, it's a question of quality. However there are good quality, cheap power supplies. Here's a decent quality, $30 power supply.

No your supply does not provide sufficient power. Load wattage for your system is around 300 watts, Which is around 60 watts higher than your psu can handle. It might work for a little while but it will be very inefficient costing more money in power bills and it is also very dangerous to run what is most likely a low quality oem psu at excessive wattages.


A very cheap and good quality psu with sufficent wattage would be this. I recommend you buy this instead of attempting to run your expensive hardware on a low quality psu, hardware which could be damaged or destroyed by the weak low quality psu. The psu I recommended is cheap and will get the job done in your use case but if you get components that need more power another more expense psu upgrade will be necessary to be safe.

Really thanks for all your replies... here's a last one from me, please advise

http://www.amazon.in/EVGA-80PLUS-Certified-ATX12V-100-W1-0430-KR/dp/B00H33SDR4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1495284611&sr=8-2&keywords=evga+430w

http://www.evga.com/products/Specs/PSU.aspx?pn=41487990-ce9c-4d28-bc96-b628fcebe303

OP wants to buy in a month. It will be in stock by then.

You are right about the psu, one could get https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-WHITE-Warranty-Supply-100-W1-0430-KR/dp/B00H33SDR4 instead. It is most likely not better, but one would save a few $.

All very good components. You should have no problem hitting 60fps on any of the latest titles at 1080p on high-ultra settings.

Also worth noting, I have the same tesseract case. It's very easy to build inside of, lots of room for cable management, and the drive bays are great to snap in and out of.

You could save a few bucks on your PSU if you wanted; unless you planned on doing some serious upgrades in the future, a 500W or even 430W PSU should be plenty for that build; you can find a quality 430W PSU for $30 regularly.

I bought a refurbished 1TB WD drive from amazon here and saved a few more dollars as well. I haven't had any issues with it; it's up to you if you felt it was worth it though.

I found this evga one that is pretty cheap, would this be ok? - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H33SDR4/ref=nav_ya_signin?claim_type=EmailAddress&new_account=1&

It's an SFX psu, SFX is small form.. fuck I forgot what X means.


The case is ATX (don't ask, I don't know off hand) but that is why PCPP is saying it's incompatible, sure it might fit in there if you jerry rig it but.. the PSU shouldn't be trusted for work-documents anyways.. sketchy af and will prb bust after 2-4 years, and there is no 80+ certification so it will cost more in electricity and anxiety than you should pay.. for 29$ (just cents more after you include shipping on the sketchy af psu) you can get an [EVGA 430W 80+ PSU] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H33SDR4/?tag=pcpapi-20)


Now alternatively, if you are buying the PSU in the next five days there is [EVGA 80+ Bronze] (https://pcpartpicker.com/product/4g7CmG/evga-bv-450w-80-bronze-certified-atx-power-supply-100-bv-0450-k1) for only 20$ however it is only a sale for the next five days and normally costs 45~


[This one] (https://pcpartpicker.com/product/nykwrH/rosewill-case-fbm05) is a bit more work-office aesthetically looking as the Zalman has some bold design choices with 2 fan spots on the side too :/


[This Dell Monitor] (https://pcpartpicker.com/product/zQqbt6/dell-monitor-se2216h) is IPS, a slightly slower response time, same aspect ratio, same resolution, still has HDMI and VGA support, morerange of viewing angles, doesn't have built-in speakers, however is a bit more business-y aesthetic due to well "Dell".


You have a mobo/cpu choice that comes out to 160.75 (129.85 for mobo, and 30.90 for cpu *I use pricing from Amazon, Newegg, Dell Small Business, and Corsair) so I changed it.. to a G4400 and an Asus B150 board and both equal out to 132.98 for both.


[This is the new list] (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dRZpLD) and you still have room for a [WD Caviar Blue 7200RPM within $500] (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dCfwJV)

Understood, I will just update the list.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H33SDR4/ is nothing special but is perfectly fine for your build if you're looking to save a little.

The company offers them, it appears to change week to week and may be different than the site itself.

On amazon the part has a $20 rebate instead

It may also be that Newegg gives you only part of the Rebate while redeeming the full one themselves. Which is understandable when dealing with a middleman.

Amazon has EVGA 80+ PSU's starting at $ 32 with free prime shipping.

This is $32 and a little better. https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-WHITE-Warranty-Supply-100-W1-0500-KR/dp/B00H33SDR4/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1475252134&sr=1-1&keywords=evga%2B500w&th=1

• I would go for a 212 EVO, either a Z87/Z97 motherboard or take your chances with an ASUS H81. (If you plan to overclock that is, otherwise you're fine with no aftermarket cooler & H81). If there's no special features about that motherboard I feel you could find a better one/one from a better known brand for ~ the same price.
  
• Do not trust that power supply. Bundled PSUs are known to be absolute crap. Go for something like this, $30 after rebates and guaranteed to last you. Case is obviously entirely up to you.
  
• Unless you specifically need two optical drives the BluRay one will read/write normal DVD/CDs as well.
  
• I would also recommend an R9 265/270/270x over the 750ti.
  EDIT: No longer a brick of text.

>Is it because I bought a cheap "Inland" 500W PSU?

Very likely. These offbrand PSUs usually can't actually supply even half its stated voltage. Replace it immediately. This is cheap without being shit.

Don't buy a LP4 to 6 Pin connector. Those things start fires. Instead, just pay $7 more for the 500W version of that power supply.

Also, if you're not going to be using an ethernet cable, you'll need a wireless internet adapter.

Otherwise, it looks good!

I'm thinking about getting this 430W EVGA psu for 30 bucks. It seems like a quality unit at a good price.

so I ordered this one from amazon. It says that it has Under Voltage Protection, so that to me means that it will shut off if it is under loaded

The EVGA 430W and CX430 are both very low end and I'd actually take the CX over the EVGA.

for the simple fact that the EVGA is normally cheaper I'd get that if I really had to get either http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H33SDR4

The CX430 is a little better, for the current $39 it's not TOO bad.

If you can do the $20 rebate it's very good value as well.

With that case almost any psu should work.

1. This one is an EVGA 500W and is 80+ bronze, which would allow you a bit of room if you get a better gpu in the future. It's $50 with a $15 mail in rebate.
   
   
2. This one, another EVGA, is only 80+ which is still better than what you have currently, and is also a 500W. This one is $39 from Amazon and is prime elegible which would eliminate the shipping cost.
   
   
3. [This] (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139027) one is a Corsair instead of EVGA, which the other 2 were. This is one is also 80+ bronze, and is $50 with a $20 mail in rebate. I have this one myself and it works great.
   
   The 80+ basically refers to level of efficiency. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/80_Plus

I am planning to build my first pc as a Plex server on a budget. It seams to be CPU heavy So I went for a AMD FX-8320E that I got for $76 (7477 PassMarks or 3 HD streams). I also plan on putting a cheap graphics card in, so that 4k (only at 24hz) is playable. Below are the links that I am currently planing on buying for the rest of the computer, should there be any problems or suggestions I would appreciate the help.

Kingston HyperX FURY 4GB 1600MHz DDR3 x2 42$

AMD FX-8320E 78$

I already have a 5 tb hardrive , so the total would be about $320

I know someone with a gtx 1050 card, can anyone confirm the EVGA 430 watt works with it? I know the safer option is to buy the 500 watt but it is out of stock and waiting until january 15th would really suck. Asking since other power supplies of B-tier brands that were ~430 watts did not work but they were not 80+ white certified. I should probably also specify that I know that other websites have the power supply in stock but this person's money is in amazon gift cards so newegg isn't really an option.
