Can anyone give feedback on this PSU? I read a review on it, looks very good.

The PSU would be totally fine with my system: http://outervision.com/b/63KgpO
There is still a lot of headroom.

Personally, i would have rather gone for this : http://www.wootware.co.za/corsair-cp-9020050-ww-vs550-550w-desktop-power-supply.html
Actually i did go for that, got me a Corsair 650w about 2 months ago

I want something semi-modular, but yeah. Had made a wanting thread on Carb, so I will wait a few weeks, otherwise I might as well go for that Cooler Master.

Thanks for your input.

Is there anybody in JHB that makes these?

View attachment 364732

I had exactly this case.

Do not get one of these, they scratch very easily and become a vague colour eventually, that one in the picture is probably a day old or less. You cant not scratch it as even something little as a screw dropping will scratch it. Mind you, it does look great at night with a few leds.

My build since these very nice people showed me carbonite.

Gigabyte motherboard, I5 4590 CPU and 2 x 4GB 1600Mhz ram, new, bundle - R3200
Gigabyte 760 Windforce Gpu secondhand - R1800
Antec 750W Gaming Psu Bronze rated + - R750
Grand Total - R5750

The PC performs exceptionally well. Plays anything I throw at it. I must add that I have a 20" LG Screen and don't and cant do 1080P on it. But those prices on carb is very good.

Nice. Those bundle deals are a really good base to build on and for R3200 nogals!

yeah it was a steal. I saw some bundles going for around R2800 also, same as mine. These normally include shipping.

Saw it, but I will have to pay shipping, pushing my budget for the PSU over my limit unfortunately.

Those Seasonic's are nice though, one of the best brands out there.

That is true, won't deny that!

R3729 - Intel Skylake Core i5-6500
R1174 - GIGABYTE GA-H110M-S2PH DDR4
R657 - 2x Corsair ValueSelect 4GB DDR4-2133
R901 - Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" SATA6G 7200rpm
R786 - SeaSonic S12II 520w 80 PLUS Bronze
R7248 - TOTAL

GPU:
R3699 - Galax GeForce GTX 960 EXOC 4GB
R4199 - PowerColor Radeon R9 380X 4GB
Or there is this GTX 970 in Toti going for R4000

Depending on which GPU you choose that will leave you with R553 - R1053 for a chassis

Getting closer. Building it at the end of this month. Super excited.

 

[saa044]

NICE. Gooi some pics when done building it, we all love eye candy.

 

[Andrew_Smith]

Still a work-in-progress, but really excited for the end product.

My budget is now + - 12k.

Want to make a few slight changes to this build. The power supply for one I'm thinking this:


Seasonic M12II-620 EVO Bronze 620 Watts

Any other suggestions highly appreciated.

 

[Neoprod]

it's the same as the S12 except modular IIRC? Would be fine.
