Optimus

Hi, sending a message to all computer buildings expert, I'm looking to buy and build a new one but I'm a proper noob so idk what to buy. I'm not looking for a ultra mega high end PC but still smth pretty damn good, Idk the price of things so my budget is whatever it costs :'D

Wow, I've gotten a ton of help following this,Thanks all!you guys love building computers :D Couldn't really answer to everybody, but feel free to poke holes in my draft 1 of build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4X39KB  ( I've heard theres some compatibility stuff to take into consideration ? )

i think a 2TB HDD + 250GB is better than a single 500 GB SSD 750W also isn't particularly necessary (you can go 650W or even 500W, unless you're 100% going to buy a 2nd video card in the next few months for SLI (not particularly recommended).

I'd still go 650w atleast, 500W is way less efficient and leaves with 0 room for expansion.

the efficiency benefits are pretty negligible well if he's not planning to buy another GPU for SLI i simply cant see anyway he's going to get near to 500W, the system at the moment would probably take 350W-400W from the wall max atm

410W on load yes. Powersupplies work most efficient at about 70% total capacity being used on load. In this case its best to go for atleast 650 W to leave room for longevitity. If you drain a 500 watt PSU like this its gonna blow in 1 year lol
