I am ready to build a new pc and would love to get your thoughts using the following parameters;
According to PCPartPicker, I get to an estimated max Wattage of 280W, which should leave plenty of headroom before maxing out at 400W.
One item I am really questioning is pursuing the i5-6600T over a regular i5-6500 I wonder if the 6500 draws less/runs cooler when under load?
Thank you in advance for any recommendations and/or feedback!!
- I prefer a power efficient gaming set-up and am ok sacrificing some dollars/performance in order to keep it power efficient and silent
- Also, I prefer reusing some parts in order to save some money,
the 400W 80+ Platinum ATX12V modular PS being the main constraint
- The pc will be used for:
- MS office
- some video editing
- various games (Paradox, Mount & Blade, Total War)
- Budget around $600 for CPU, Motherboard, Memory & Video Card
- I prefer reusing CPU Cooler, SSD, HD, m-ATX Case & Power Supply
- I will buy the parts in the US (Amazon or Newegg)
- I do not overclock
- I use 1920x1200 resolution
- I plan to build it next week
- Dont need to purchase any software
