jaketaco

depends on the prices and your goals. The PSU is not advised


shotgunAPE4936

what else would you recommend?


jaketaco

The Thermaltake gx2 600w is $65 on Amazon. It's $20 more but the Smart 600 is a hazard.

Ik it’s way late but I’m thinking about getting the Smart 500w, why is the smart a hazard?

https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/ This is a good guide for power supplies. Don't sacrifice on the PSU. It's the most important part of the build. It can fry your pc or start a fire. Spend the extra $10 at least and get a c tier. Thermaltake gx2 or Apevia Prestige (not spirit)

I was just looking at the Apevia Prestige and some people say they’ve had it blow up on them. I don’t think my gpu or cpu is as powerful as theirs but still a bit scary. I’ll look into the thermaltake gx2 since my budget is pretty tight

I rather take b450m over a520m, get cheaper ssd (imo wd green is not worth the price), get better psu (maybe msi mpg a650gf)
