HI peeps, I'm helping my 15 year old son build his first PC.
The components he wants are:
ASUS Dual RTX 2060 O6G EVO Graphics Card, MSI MAG B550M Mortar Wifi Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard, AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core processor, Cooler Master Hyper 212 RGB 57.3 CFM CPU Cooler, OLOy WarHawk RGB 16 GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3600 CL 18 Memory, Samsung 970 EVO 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive, Seagate Barracuda Compute 2 TB 3.5" 7200 RPM Internal Hard Drive, be quiet! Pure Base 500DX ATX Mid-Tower base.
I'm not sure about the power supply though. I'm currently tossing up between the Corsair HX 750W 80+ Platinum and the Corsair RM 850x 850W 80+ V2 Gold...
So do I go the higher end model with 750 watts or the slightly lower model with 850 watts??
I'm thinking you may all tell me go the 750 watt as it is easily enough for his system? But I'm wondering about future proofing... I wasn't going for the HXi models as more expensive, and do you really NEED the monitoring?
Thank you in advance!!
