I think should be about 3 years. Gryphon and Sabretooth no wifi. But I like Sabretooth's anti-dust cover plate.

I thought so too. Power consumption for this build is about 500watt.

If your Power Consumption is at 500W. You must think, is the PSU 500W gonna give you a 500W at max load?

So yeah suggest you get the 620W bronze modular.
