Braegnok Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 (edited) Nicely done sir, only thing I would recommend would be upgrading your Power Supply to a $100 750W, don't leave any money on the table and skimp on a $48 dollar PSU. Your going to be drawing close to 500W +,.. easy with optical drives, pci cards, fans, other devices,.. see if you can snag a nice deal on a Bronze 750W.

Thank you I agree, I was going to go with a Ryzen 2600 but even over clocked it gets outpaced by the 9400f Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHKCommander959 Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 Looks good to me, you can get a nice 750 for a few bucks more. For 100$ you could get an 850W gold/platinum PSU, but you don't need to go that fancy either 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragsman Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 I have the same processor. I also play at 1080p. The only difference is the card and 16gb ram maybe. I'm totally fine so... I will definitely change 2x4gb 2400mhz for 2x8gb 2400mhz. Mabe there is not so much difference in terms of $$$. As someone said the PSU could be better but is not a very demanding PC (in terms of power consumption). I don't know the brand Cougar but maybe a Cooler Master / Thermaltake 600-700w should be ok.

I was thinking it looks a little light on the ram but meh, it's not that serious... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
