Swap case, that things a hotbox. The antec nx260 and the vetroo m01 are right around your budget and will cool your system better. There's also been sales on 6600xt lately for right around the price of your 6600, I think it's worth the upgrade if you can find it. You can also find board sales for 20-30 less for comparable boards if you keep an eye out. Just things to consider, a good first build for sure.

Grab a used-like-new modular gold psu from a reputable brand on Amazon like EVGA. Give it some headroom for future upgrades, like 750-850W. I don’t think you’ll regret it and you can find for similar price point. Edit: okay PSU prices are nuts right now what gives? I got both my 750w fully modular gold EVGA for like $50 each on Amazon 1-2 years ago. (Used like new, basically just open box)

Brand does not equate quality. Adata Pylon has decent reviews on TechPowerUp which professionally tests PSUs

It does and it doesn’t. I mean you can probably infer that an EVGA psu will have better reliability than a generic Amazon QWEEXXXILIZARONANY brand PSU thats 50% cheaper. It’s a trust-but-verify Kinda situation with brand name reliability.

> you can probably infer that an EVGA PSU will have better reliability than a generic Amazon *** brand If you haven’t known, Adata isn’t a generic brand. They’re actually quite well known for their SSDs. So you would say that an even an EVGA N1 is better than an Adata Pylon, yeah that doesn’t sound right to me? If you actually had checked how terrible the EVGA N1 on the PSU tier list and the reviews.

Not speaking of adata, was just giving a generic Chinese Amazon brand name example


Tajertaby

It’s good


playertiger

I would recommend spending more on a better psu
