Yeah, most likely that Prebuilt HP PSU isnt gonna fit your new MB

I already ordered a cx550m from corsair

Those units tend to be hit or miss

but, if yours turn out to be good, then its a good PSU

I think there was a bad batch or something

i5 2500 3.3ghz
gtx 1050 ti
16gb ddr3 ram
512gb ssd
2tb hdd
an optical drive
some sort of proprietary motherboard

But i doubt you're going to push it to its maximum rating anyways

yeah, I placed all my parts in a psu calculator, and it said I only needed 360w

also this case is horrible, only has a single 60mm fan

Just keep in mind Intel calculates its power usage at idle

yeah

AMD calculates at load iirc

I'll probably end up getting a better psu later on and place this one in a lower end build for my sister

2500 is still an ok CPU, moderate to light gaming of older titles

yeah, I only play 2 games at most anyways

I'll probably end up getting an i7 3770k and OCing that

im the same though since im just running an i5 6600k and 1060, so just one step above ya

aince they're cheap and fit in my motherboard

what about a 4790k?

@«Hellhound» different socket

I'll have to spend more and get a new mobo

I'm a casual gamer anyways

so no need to spend so much

GPU would prolly be the one higher on your list of priorities lmao

I've heard the 3770k can last pretty long even after OCing anyways, my friend has had one at 4.4ghz for 6 years now

but yeah, solid unit overall for low mid gaming

Iirc 3770k is Solder

solder?

The Integrated Heat Spreader (the metal bit you see that has the information) is soldered to the Die (actual silicon)

oh damn

it isnt

What's your cooler?

If you're planning to OC, get a good cooler for the 3770k

since most likely that TIM (thermal interface material, tldr thermal paste) between the die and IHS might be crusty

My current one is stock for the prebuilt, but I'm ordering a budget cooler that a couple of my friends tested from aliexpress called the snowman t5

since its years old

Snowman is a good cooler

its been making the rounds as a good budget cooler

also

look at this cooler if you still havent ordered

ok
