hi bros,

i would like to seek your advise on my planned rig mainly for general usage,football manager and fifa17. with the help of ZrE0_Cha0s I have came up with the following specs:

i5 6500 + msi h110i pro ac $415 or MSI B150I Gaming Pro AC $430
Super Flower Leadex Platinum 550W [80 Plus Platinum] $149
sapphire rx480 $399
kingston ddr4 $45
Jonsbo UMX1+ Window (Silver) $129

I'm firmed on the gfx, ram and casing (out of stock till 2nd week of july) however would seek your opinion on the motherboard and power supply.

Is there any significant difference for silver and platinum rated PSU besides the price?

Would u go for msi h110i pro ac or MSI B150I Gaming Pro AC or other mobo?

hi TS.. my casing is jonsbo uxm3.
as uxm3, uxm1 also has the PSU to be located at the front top of the casing..
I had a problem installing the superflower PSU..

well tbh just go with 110 pro ac save that money since gaming is only some extra stuff from the system they have (that gaming app) other than that board have almost exact build, ports, etc.

psu u can go for gold or silver efficient, unless u turn on your PC for 24/7

I use umx4 with sf leadex gold , its tight but for me i plug in the power cable before securing psu to the casing, its much easier that way.
