Isnt the ripple for oc? But its getting kinda deep here haha. Thought 600w would be safer

Zre0 wat do u mean that superflower is btr in bothside?

Prefer modular if possible, but if no choice/ too ex nvm

Sent from Sent from where? using GAGT

power efficient and cheap.

for modules, almost all brands have just need to know the models.

who told u that 600w? u OC? play or use the software 24/7 hours on ur PC? den 600w might even not enough. even if u dun do all those, just normal office work or surfing or watch YouTube @ most 100+ w (w/o GPU CPU)

but of cus like I say depends on your setup.

Samsung EVO 500GB is $204.9(Superdeals) on Lazada before any discount. Really good price imo. But i'm unsure if the stock is from local distro. $209 from another seller should be with EA sticker.

PSU I usually get EVGA from Amazon. Alternatively, Superflower Leadex is a good option too.

If you're considering at budget friendly ATX casing that's decent looking, can consider this

tecware-alpha-4622-3820347-0f09c4aa1abc48b15d4313f4e6bc772d-zoom.jpg

Can I know what casing are that? Brand?

Superflower fan is wat kind?

Considering the superflower 650w gold for $129 bucks, additional 10 dollars for 100w. 550w silver is $119

I guess some leeway is gd? 1070 takes lil power, but am wondering if the future cards would nd more juice

Also noticed not all retailers sell superflower

abit outdated here but since we're talking about PSU. how come nobody's recommending seasonic nowadays ?
I remember when i build my pc nearly 2 years back, it was one of the recommendations.
Did their quality drop ?
