Need one to run minecraftmodpacks/runescape/diablo2/csgo


Looking to spend around 800$

You could play those games on a second-rate laptop

This is way, way more than you will ever need for those games, but gives you plenty of power for other games, you can always drop the SSD and spend more on a better graphics card/processor or a different case

You could save a bit by get 8gb ram and 500w psu. There won't be a difference in performance.

getting 500w PSU when your requirement is 4xx is retarded, that's like running your car at 6,000rpm at all times.....better to have more of a buffer zone, not only for the longevity of the power supply, but also for future expansion purposes.

Lowest I would go on that build is probably 650


Also, 16gb of RAM is $71, to get an 8gb kit it is at least $40, might as well spend the extra $30 for it, even if you may never need it, I have been running 16gb in my desktop for a long time, never use it all, but RAM is cheap...

The computer wont reach 400w the whole time the computer is on. That's an estimated max wattage. If you're considering improving gpu performance, it's probably time to buy a new video card, any way.

Save $30 by switching to 8gb ram.
Buy a quality $50 psu.
Buy a quality $50 case.
That's $100 you could either save or allocate to another component. If you get rid of the ssd (non-essential component), that's even more money to save. The games listed above aren't very demanding, so the ssd is affordable.

I don't care what you do with your computer, but I wouldn't do it with mine, nor would I recommend it, what happens if you add more hard drives, SSDs, LEDs, added fans, water cooler, USB devices, phone charger, wireless adapter, on and on and on? You will end up nickel and diming your power supply to death

I spent $85 on my 850w 5 years ago, and it still runs strong, its far more power than I ever have or ever will need

BUT

IT
STILL
WORKS

Go for a cheaper case, that wont hurt anything, neither will swapping out to an 8gb ram kit, but give yourself breathing room in the PSU or regret it later

That's worst case scenario. He may not even change anything and use the build as is. 750w psu for a single gpu config is way overkill; nonetheless, it's still a viable build.



This is great, as well.

but youre telling me to get a psu like this for my single GPU build (maybe its because im buying better GPU that use more watts? )


/edit nvm you told me to get 550w or 600w never 750

but gold certified 550-600, not copper/bronze tho ^^ that probably mean something.....
