I bought one from them 3.5 years ago when they just started, got my PC next day. I ordered a new one this week told it is a 3-7 work days wait, hopefully it doesn't come with bugs.
Update in case people were wondering, got it on Tuesday evening (ordered on Wednesday afternoon). So far no problems these 2 days.

Hi @NightRaven49, thanks for updating the PC rig recommendation at page 1 (y)
can I ask why FSP VITA GM was recommended for 850w?
It is tier B+ as compared to XPG Core Reactor II VE 850w which was tier A according to SPL PSU list.

Any 4k sgd pc rig recommendation?
3k is enough for a near top of the line pc, significantly more than that would be marginal gains. u can refer to the high perf reco on the first post, then swap out parts as necessary (eg flashier mobos, more ram/storage).

thought no one would notice this quickly 👀 this spreadsheet seems quite new, never came across this and seems quite useful thanks! i suggested the vita gm due to its longer warranty (7y vs 10y), use of japanese caps and technically better operation in areas like efficiency and ripple suppression (based on reviews from media outlets that reviewed both units), while still being price competitive with the ii ve.
hardware busters: fsp vita gm, adata xpg core reactor ii ve
toms hw: fsp vita gm, adata xpg core reactor ii ve

I very much trust cybenetics evaluation of the VITA GM over the psu tier list.


Excerpt from the site where you got the tier list:

This list was created by Sir ProvidenceLaw (SPL) and other expert PSU reviewers. It's safe to trust their judgement.

Sounds like a load of "trust me bro" without proper testing methodology, data etc.

Cybenetics at least provide all the data for u to view and draw your own conclusions.

Hi all, I am building a PC for heavy coding usage and GTA VI when it comes out. Budget 1.5k excl GPU. Will likely build it at dynacore. Appreciate any comments on my draft build below

Mobo+CPU: Ryzen 7700 + Msi b650m gaming plus wifi $503
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws M5 RGB DDR5 6000mt/s CL30 black kit (64gb) $289
HDD: WD Black SN850X 2 TB Gen.4 $229
PSU: Adata xpg core reactor 850W $138
Casing: montech air 903 max $98 (pckaki)
CPU cooler: thermal right phanton spirit SE dual heatsink $48
GPU: reuse current zotac 1050ti until GTA VI released then upgrade to eg 7800xt

Total damage $1305

Thanks in advance

other than maybe getting the sn850x from tradepac for $11 saving, looks good. but if u want to max out ur budget and not worried about upgradeability, i7 14700 bundles are decent too with a significant uplift to multicore performance.

Thank you sir for your inputs 🙏 Likely will stick to 7700 and upgrade if needed.

Potentially silly question: does it make sense to choose the MSI B650 over the B650M? Mainly concerned with poorer cooling on the latter due to smaller footprint esp after the gpu upgrade.

Can't find the MSI B650 gaming + wifi on dynacore price list... Only found ASUS TUF GAMING B650-E WIFI at $562 w CPU and thinking if it is a good mobo.

dont think there will be fundamentally any change in terms of airflow, since the only major difference is the length of the board. cooler compatibility also goes unchanged; these 2 cooling factors are more dependent on case selection rather than the mobo form factor. vrm wise the b650m does run hotter, though that is due to the vrm design and is still more than enough for a 7700.

the b650-e is also a decent board.

Can someone recommend me a GPU for normal usage, such as documents, surfing, drama streaming (No game)?
I often get black screen with green box, Change the entire PC and 2 new monitors.
Currently using intergrated graphic, MSI B550M Pro-VHD WIFI.

Yes, not sure is it the intergrated graphic card not sufficient to support and require an independent GPU?
typically igpu shouldnt fail one, since it is part of the cpu which generally dont fail also. sounds like a ram issue, if u got spare usb stick maybe can try memtest to check. ddr4 is cheap nowadays also, a good crucial kit can be found for $40 or less on carou.

brand new will be a bit hard to find outside of really weak cards like the gt710. u will need to go carou for this as well.

Both PC and monitors had changed and tot it should be ok, but it happen once again few days ago.
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600G
