What PSU should I get? (new budget)

[khrystiano]

Hi, actually I got this config:

i5-3330 @ 3,4ghz
Gigabyte GA-z77-ds3h
8gbs DDR3 (4+2+2) @ 1333mhz
HD5850 Xtreme
PSU Cooler Master e600 600w

And I was about to get a new gpu, psu, case (coz mi actual case is practically destroyed), ram and heatsink (since im with the default intel heatsink) and I'm a little bit confused, especially with the PSU since I don't know what model should I get...

My budget is quite limited (480-495&#8364 and I want to upgrade to play the new games that are coming and ofc the actual games (like TW3, Fallout 4, Rainbow Six Siege, Unity, FC4/Primal). I'd like to get constant 60fps... don't need to set the ultra on games but at least high settings without some filters... and well, thats why I decided:

But I don't know about the PSU, what PSU do you guys recommend me (on amazon.es) about the same or a lower price? I checked some psu's:

Greetings.

Damn, that 970 is expensive! What country? I got my r9-390 for $260, if you look around you might find a similar deal.

Spain.. and yes, its so expensive :\

 

[khrystiano]

Opinions?

I checked a review of the Nox Hummer VX, it looks pretty good. If possible though, buy a case known to be of high build quality - this one seems a little on the cheap side. For example, Fractal Design or Nanoxia, or maybe Cooltek.

made a quick list from alternate.es:

Case:
Fractal Design Core 3300 65€
Nanoxia Deep Silence 3 70€
Fractal Design Define S 80€ (no 5.25" slot)
Fractal Design Define R4 83€

RAM: no idea why you would buy new RAM if your old RAM works fine. DDR3-1333 -> DDR3-1866 isn't a big jump, and DDR3 is at the end of its road anyway. Buy DDR4 next time you buy RAM. Besides, you're going to be GPU (and CPU) bottlenecked in most games before DDR3-1333 becomes an issue.

Cooler: 212 EVO is a little overrated Thermalright True Spirit 120M 31€ is a little better.

Graphics: Zotac GTX 970 319€ - cheap but does the job. Noise levels are comparable to Gigabyte, but temperatures are a bit higher. If you want a card that runs very quiet, Palit Jetstream is very good for 349€. Neither Zotac or Gigabyte have semi passive fans, Jetstream has those and they're also whisper quiet at load.

PSU
Seasonic M12II-520 80€
Corsair RM550x 100€ - modular, gold efficient, 7 year warranty, semi passive fan. Worth the extra over M12II-520 as long as you can afford to pay 20€

I checked amazon.es as well, their prices seem to be much higher for all of the above. Here are some alternatives:
Case: Cooler Master Silencio 452 68€
Cooler: Arctic i30 30€
Graphics card: Gigabyte GTX 970 Windforce3 347€ is alright (the difference to G1 is power delivery and clock speed)
PSU: XFX TS 650 Gold 103€ is nice quality and 650W for that price is pretty nice. But it's not modular. If you want modular, take a look at EVGA GQ 650W for 93€, it's on par with the TS 650 Gold (jonnyguru reviews: xfx, evga). Delivery is slower, apparently.

Oh, thank you.. a friend told me that upgrading my memory would to 1866 would help me in most game situations with the bottleneck of the cpu, what do you think?

Btw. Alternate have an expensive shipping costs.. so I prefer Amazon.es since Im premium...

 

[lehtv]

CPU bottlenecking isn't really an issue with i5 + GTX 970. Sure, there are some games where the faster RAM helps, but it doesn't help enough to be worth an upgrade IMO.

Re: alternate.es shipping costs
Up to 10 Kg. € 8.99
Up to 20 Kg. € 11.99

Doesn't seem that expensive to me. But ofc the parts I linked from Amazon are fine too

 

[khrystiano]

Well the thing is Im from Canary Islands so basically the shipping costs get more expensive thats why I chose Amazon, anyway, thnak you mate u really helped me there^^
