dont get the nex series, they're trash. There's a reason why they're always cheap for what they offer compared to other PSUs.
stick with seasonic/superflower/sirtec/etc. oems

Their voltage regulation on full load is pos,
Even worse than corsair cx series which are also trash.
It's a decent psu at most, for basic use.

Fsp fucked up on the NEX series, and made a lot of people uneasy to purchase evga psus earlier on when they first started making psus. If evga hadn't got superflower and seasonic to make the psus, they wouldn't be as popular as they are now.

Secksii is correct. EVGA NEX series are trash build quality.

If you want a decent EVGA PSU, just get the 550 or 650 G2 like everybody else.

Might need a CPU too. :)


As for Windows, just get a key for Win 10 Pro x64 from KINGUIN.

well, it's not on the list.
Also, why a 6600K with and H170 chipset?


Not sure, it was part of the build that Nupper gave me. Motherboards confuse me lol!
When I click the link, it shows the cpu. Weird.

/e K CPUs go with Z170 chipsets.

non-K CPUs go with H170 chipsets.


Gigabyte GA-Z170XP-SLI ATX LGA1151
