EVGA Supernova 550 G3

Newegg has it in stock right now.
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132954&cm_re=z270i-_-13-132-954-_-Product

It is a nice motherboard. I am using it myself right now in a machine I put together Friday. Admittedly, you can't even see it underneath the nh-d15.
https://i.imgur.com/7y5XJfn.jpg

As for alternative options, here they are.
http://pcpartpicker.com/products/motherboard/#f=8&c=119&sort=a8&page=1

The cheap Asrock is the cheapest by a good margin, but skimps a bit on some features that all of the others have, like ALC1220. All of the others are mostly comparable.

Also, I would buy a power supply that isn't poopfeces. This is a quality unit.
https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Supernova-220-G3-0550-Y1-Modular-Supply/dp/B01LWTS2UL/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1487643704&sr=8-7&keywords=evga+550w

If you want a bit cheaper, then maybe this one. Has a rebate too.
https://www.amazon.com/SeaSonic-550-Watt-CrossFire-Certified-SSR-550RM/dp/B00918MEZG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487643765&sr=8-1&keywords=seasonic+550w

If you want to get more into small builds, you can consider an SFX unit too. The corsair sf450 and sf600 are excellent.

You could but at a additional cost of $100, I wouldn't recommend it.

edit: Actually, this would work ($59.99), you wouldn't need the full set. (Amazon link here)

If it's possible to return the SF 450, I personally think you would be better off getting something like an EVGA G3 550 (10mm shorter than ATX standard, same warranty length).

here is the G3

That's a good one, but this EVGA G3 is a bit better and cheaper.

You might want to get the EVGA SuperNOVA 550 G3. The G2 and G3 lines are pretty good. Good reputation, solid warranty, and Gold rating. It runs about $80-$100 USD.

Edit: The price of the PSU I sent ya is about $110 AUD. At least, here in the states it is.

[HERE] (https://pcpartpicker.com/product/sMM323/evga-supernova-g3-550w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-220-g3-0550) 550w currently out of stock on newegg.

Available on amazon for $49.99 [HERE] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LWTS2UL/?tag=pcpapi-20&pldnSite=1)

I got today a EVGA SuperNOVA G3 550W for $40. What a deal! But is gone now. Anyone wanting to give a random look in case it comes back again.

Proof

So looking at your other post, and the info you provided, I have a couple comments:

1. Given the specs you provided, I think you should have no problem running really any game at 1080p 60Hz.
   
2. From the comments on your other post, it seems like the issue is power delivery. Did you check all of the power supply connections to ensure that they are sufficiently connected? There was also a comment regarding testing the RAM, have you checked that?
   
3. if you need a new PSU, there are a few EVGA ones on sale on Amazon. One for ~$40 (https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-BRONZE-Supply-Warranty-100-B1-0500-KR/dp/B00DZ6R9GE)
   
   but personally I would advise (if you have some extra money) jumping up to the 80+ gold PSU (https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Supernova-Modular-Warranty-220-G3-0550-Y1/dp/B01LWTS2UL) for ~$20 more.
   
   From what I know, EVGA is a trustworthy company, and their G3 power supplies are a good choice.

Assuming you don't have other parts that require a lot of power, this is what I'd recommend https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LWTS2UL

Because different sellers sale them at different prices?
https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B01LWTS2UL/ref=dp_olp_all_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=all
From the actual website: https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=220-G3-0550-Y1

My PSU, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LWTS2UL/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ,

has way too many cables right? If I am using only 1 gpu and 1 ssd? There are so many sata connections and 2 VGA connections, should I just take one of the sata and VGA connectors out?

Im sorry im still kind of new to this.

This seems like a good deal:

​

Thinking about grabbing this one. Thanks for your help.

Amongst other upgrades, I highly recommend purchasing an 2.5-inch SSD for your operating system, like this Kingston one on Amazon. Plug it in alongside your hard drive, install Windows 10 from a USB thumbdrive onto the SSD using these instructions from Microsoft, and then install drivers from HP. Finally, change your storage folders (Documents, Pictures, Videos, etc.) over to folders on the hard drive. The improved read-write performance for games loading from an SSD will help ameliorate any drawbacks from system age.

Also, if you're going to upgrade your PSU, DO NOT SKIMP on it. It is the single thing most likely to fry your computer and start a fire. I recommend ones like this EVGA G3 550W 80plus Gold one or a similar PSU from a reputable brand like Seasonic or Corsair.

https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Modular-Warranty-220-G2-0550-Y1/dp/B01LWTS2UL?th=1

I got the 750w G2 a few years ago and it is still going strong through several builds. Modular so you can swap cables for color or troubleshooting. The G3 model is newer with what appears to be a better fan (correct me if I'm wrong, folks).

Can't speak on the customer service experience with EVGA, but from what I've seen they're pretty good. The products speak for themselves.

I had an Antec EarthWatts prior to this and it held up very well for a lower end build (not much power consumption) so that may be another brand you could look into if you don't need a beefy PSU.

However, the PSU is the major component of PC builds - DO NOT go cheap! Get the best model for your consumption, and if you plan on a beefier build later on, go ahead and spend a few extra bucks for more wattage with that good brand. Some PSUs can go through several builds before becoming obsolete.

Looks great man! I would just switch out that psu for a much higher quality one such as this (I would recommend something like a 550w or even 500w for this build as 650w is a bit overkill but who am I to say since I ended up getting a EVGA G3 650 this past summer for my gtx 1060 and r5 1600 build haha): https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Modular-Warranty-220-G3-0550-Y1/dp/B01LWTS2UL/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1506353119&sr=1-1&keywords=evga+g3+550w

Edit: If that is out of your price range for this build, check out some of the modular seasonic psu's as they are cheaper but still of great quality.

It is, for a few reasons. First, an 80+ rating of any kind shows it's proven to be stable. Since it's 80+ Gold Rating, that's going to be plenty good for anything needing up to 440w of raw output under a heavy load. Second, EVGA takes great care to ensure that their parts are well put together.

The only con to this (if it really is much of one) is that it isn't modular. Going with modular would make cable management a ton easier on a new build, as you can only plug in what you're using. It does come at a premium though. You don't need modular, but keeps the mess down.

You can see EVGA's 550w 80+ Gold Modular here for $95, so a decent amount more: https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Supernova-Modular-Warranty-220-G3-0550-Y1/dp/B01LWTS2UL

The EVGA SuperNova G3 550W will work just fine for the build in your flair (recommended wattage is around 300 watts). It's a tier one gold certified fully modular PSU. NewEgg has the G3 for $80, but it drops to $60 after a $20 rebate card. Amazon also has it, but for $80 and no rebate.

https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Modular-Warranty-220-G3-0550-Y1/dp/B01LWTS2UL/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1503025897&sr=8-1&keywords=EVGA+SuperNOVA+550+G3

This right?

If I had to point my finger at your problem, it'd definitely be that. There's an old expression when it comes to PC building: Never cheap out on your power supply. Sorry to be a dick, but the one you picked up is definitely doing exactly that.

I'd return your power supply to Amazon as defective, and get something like a Corsair TX550m as it'd be a colossal upgrade in power supply quality. If you want to stay with EVGA, they sell some really great power supplies (the W1 just isn't one of them), you might consider the G3 550W.

Some of the more recent reviews for it on NewEgg say that people get it and it fails or has coil whine. This sub inparticular is a huge fan of the EVGA power supplies since their customer support is great and they have a big range of options that tend to be very reliable. Don't skimp on the PSU unless you have to. You can get the EVGA equivalent of what you have here for only a bit more. The deal is pretty good though and I'd say if your budget is tight it should be good.

Thank you so much for that very informative and helpful reply and taking the time to help me! So I think this is what I should go with then?

EVGA Supernova 550 G3, 80 Plus Gold 550W, Fully Modular, Eco Mode with New HDB Fan, 7 Year Warranty, Includes Power ON Self Tester, Compact 150mm Size, Power Supply 220-G3-0550-Y1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LWTS2UL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_vBYNBbD4YVVV4

Thank you! I think I am going to go with this one for now.

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01LWTS2UL/?tag=pcp0f-20&th=1

This is a bit more than my current budget, but is it worth it?
Here it is:
CPU: Intel BX80677I57600: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MYTYSMK (219.99$)

Motherboard: MSI B250 PC MATE: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N4LCX2D (89.99$)

Video Card: GTX 1070 (brand depends on availability maybe ~420$).

Storage: WD Blue 1TB SATA 6 Gb/s 7200 RPM: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0088PUEPK (49.99$)

Storage: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OAJ412U (104.43$)

Memory: Ballistix Sport LT 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR4 2400 MT/s: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AG9F0G8 (65.99$)

PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 550 G3: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LWTS2UL (79.99$)


Total: 1,019$

Well, technically it's a $1056 build and you get some money back after mailing it in and waiting months :S So it's not exactly a fair competition - if my system is allowed the same rule (spending 1060$ upfront) then it beats yours:

I mean sure - you would still need to get a case but you could pick that up and decrease amount of RAM to 16GB. But you do get a better SSD and a PSU in this variant.

​

I am not saying this system is perfect or whatever mind you. Just that while it does have hiccups it can build fairly good systems too if you check through other options you are given by it upfront so calling it "random parts" is kinda uncalled for.

So, I still have to realize I'm on a budget, but I found this one here. It's a 550W 80+ Gold rating. What do you think?

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LWTS2UL/?tag=pcpapi-20&th=1

Amazon doesn't appear to have any cheap PSU deals. Closest I can find is:

550W G3, $50

Not bad, but not matching what you can get on other sites.

Hey all, new builder here. I'm building a PC as a small Plex server, Netflix/YouTube streamer and possibly hosting a couple of virtual machines. Im wondering what kind of PSU I should get? I have a Ryzen 2400G and will be using 2 HDDs and 1 SSD.

Obviously prefer as inexpensive as I can get. Would something like the EVGA Supernova 550 br sufficient? https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Supernova-Modular-Warranty-220-G3-0550-Y1/dp/B01LWTS2UL/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1543061898&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=evga+supernova+550&dpPl=1&dpID=51Z7xl7vVpL&ref=plSrch

Then your choices for a case are only limited to itx, nearly every tower case you come across will support mATX and ATX, then you have Full Tower cases that would make that little motherboard seem out of place. Tons and tons of good options from $60 and up.

As others have touched on, a good modular power supply unit will not only be more efficient/reliable (especially if you want to OC anything!), it will help take care of cable management. I have always went for "full modular", semi modular will have a 'pony tail' with the motherboard, cpu, and gpu connectors rolled into one. It's nice to be able to route each PSU cable where you want imo.

So then there are your two main issues, cable management and airflow. You have a decision to make regarding the case, I understand liking how a prebuilt case looks because some do look nice. If you want to stick with that case you need to figure out how to mod it to increase airflow. Generally speaking, switching to a aftermarket case will be simple and increase your cooling performance twice over without having to mod a thing.

I use and always recommend EVGA PSU's because they generally perform great in benchmarks and come with a 10yr warranty: 550w Gold

If it were me I'd build in this case just for the hell of it for $40: CM Masterbox

Here's another case that would be good in your situation: Corsair Air 240

All depends on your budget.

First of all thank you so much for the time you put into it and I do not have the parts but I already had a motherboard in mind but I’ll look into a ryzen and I’m most likely going to get that gpu [this psu](EVGA Supernova 550 G3, 80 Plus Gold 550W, Fully Modular, Eco Mode with New HDB Fan, 7 Year Warranty, Includes Power ON Self Tester, Compact 150mm Size, Power Supply 220-G3-0550-Y1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LWTS2UL/)

Edit: the rx 570 is atx this is a micro atx build

EVGA Supernova 550 G3, 80 Plus Gold 550W - PSU - 69.60$

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo - CPU cooler - 25.83$

I'm using Cooler Master for 2 years and it's very quiet.

The PSU has a Gold standard and my brother use it since 2015, it very reliable and works very good.

Yup, gold is definitely the way to go. For your build, a 550W or a 650W be enough for a lot. I've tried EVGA, they are a great company!

Above is the G3, fairly new line of EVGA's modular 80+ Gold Black cables. Only $5 more than the G2.
Why choose this, you may ask? It's new, it's modular, it's 80 Gold, and it got black cables so your cable management can look super nice over your preferred case.

Also, the Sandisk SSD is okay, but I would much rather get a WD blue or a Crucial MX300 for the price. Unless it's a hand-me down, it's fine. https://www.amazon.com/250GB-Internal-Solid-State-Drive/dp/B01LXDQX35/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1496963328&sr=8-8&keywords=crucial+mx300

You're a really nice guy, congrats!

EVGA G3

G3 is their latest PSU lineup; there may be G2s for cheaper. Fully modular, silent operation, 'Supernova' monitoring software.

Thanks for the response. Any recommendations for a quiet cooler, that would fit in a mini-ITX case?

As for the PSU, I mentioned in another comment that I found a couple others on sale, one of which is this one:

Will that be powerful enough? Thanks!

G3 should be the same price as the G2 right now, at least on Amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Modular-Warranty-220-G3-0550-Y1/dp/B01LWTS2UL

It is literally just an improved version of the G2 platform. SuperFlower Leadex was the OEM series of the G2, G3 is v2.

Another option for only $5 more.

Ryzen works great with Nvidia graphics cards. No issues there.

For powering your rig, the GTX 1060 is rated at roughly 120W and your CPU is ~130W at load. So, I would recommend you a quality 550W to 650W power supply for plenty of room to overclock and remain efficient. E.g. The EVGA SuperNova G3 550W Gold

Excellent choice of CPU/GPU for the games you play. Should be a very good experience.

Amazon Link

CPU - Intel i5 8600k $239.

CPU Cooler - Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO $30.

Motherboard - MSI Z370-A PRO $100.

RAM - Patriot Viper Elite Series 8GB DDR4 2400MHz $81.

SSD - PNY CS1311 240GB $70.

HDD - Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB $44.

Video Card - Zotac GeForce GTX 1050-Ti 4GB mini $200.

Case - NZXT S340 Black $70.

Power Supply - EVGA SuperNOVA G3 80+ Gold 550W $70.

Total Price: $904. Throw in Windows for an additional $90-$100. It's really hard to get a decent PC to be under $1,000 nowadays with the price of RAM and GPU's :( I think this build will suit you best though. It's definitely not bad,

I'm a big fan of the EVGA Super Nova series. Here it is on Amazon

Here's a guy selling a 970 SSC for $185 if you're ok with buying used.

https://www.reddit.com/r/hardwareswap/comments/80dnow/usatxhevga_geforce_gtx_970_sscwlocal_cash_paypal/

Here's the comparison of the two

http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-970-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1050-Ti/2577vs3649

I would also go with a larger air cooler or get a 240mm cooler if you really wanted to go with liquid cooling instead of the H60


edit: If you want to do a 970, you'll need a beefier power supply, here's one that isn't that much more expensive
