i want take psu cooler master extreme II 725w..but i don't know this psu suitable for gaming ring or not...

my pc specs
i5-4440
mobo asrock b85h killer
hdd 1 tb blue
ram 4gbx2 1600mhz
gpu sapphire r9 279 toxic-x
odd sony..

i need ur information...

and one more thing...what mean n different plus 80 bronze, gold, silver...and what it for..?

No.... The unit is not a true power unit, and the name is deceptively named to hide its real wattage. Very poor ripple and voltage regulation, and better units can be bought at the same price.

80+ Bronze/Silver/Gold denotes the efficiency of the power supply. 80+ Standard is the lowest rating for a 80+ unit, where 80+ Platinum is the highest rating for a 80+ certified unit. Note that 80 Plus certification do not dictate the power supply's quality.

725W is massively overkill for a single GPU build. PSUs like the Seasonic S12II 620W/M12II 520W would be a much better choice. The R9 270X is badly priced as well, since you can get a GTX760 at the same price, which is an even faster card to start with.

Have you bought your rig yet?If no,then add 30 ringgit more,get Gainward GTX760 Phantom 2GB GDDR5 RM849 (from Lingloong).For PSU,i'd recommend you Seasonic S12II 80+ Bronze 620W RM299 (from Viewnet).

not yet....ok..enough about psu so i understand right now...but i confius about gpu...some people say r9 270x is good for gaming now i don't know what type of gpu i should use...what the special gtx760..?

IMO,R9 270X is overpriced.It cannot even beat the GTX760 that costs 30 ringgit more.Even with the Toxic version of R9 270X..the GTX760 still beats it.And GTX760 is one of the best mid-range GPUs IMO.

I'd get the Gainward GTX760 Phantom for 30 ringgit more than the Sapphire R9 270X Toxic's price..

P.S.What is your budget for the whole rig?

my budget around 3k plus....

This could do it..

MOBO:Asrock B85M-Pro4 RM279
GPU:Sapphire R9 280X Toxic 3GB GDDR5 RM1269
RAM:Corsair 8GB DDR3 1600MHz RM239
HDD:WD Caviar Blue 1TB RM189
PSU:Seasonic S12II 80+ Bronze 620W RM299
Casing:NZXT Source 210 Black RM159
ODD:Liteon 24x DVDRW RM59
Total:RM3072
Optional:Plextor M5S 128GB RM289

GPU and Casing are from Lingloong @GS,the rest are from Viewnet.

Minecrafter stop with yer deadly venom pic of gainward der. And why not go for a GTX 770 Amp at RM 1300? Only RM 31 more

how about psu xigmatek vectorS 650w rm22+ (viewnet)..? coz i don't want spend more budget for psu...or ur have suggestion better psu n cheap for me..?

Antec Strictly VP-550W @ RM199 should do it.

R9 280X better..
VENOMOUS PHANTOM!

But the chart show that 770 is faster. And charts don't lie

Actually it's more or less the same.Some games 280X Toxic is better,some games GTX770 AMP is better.
More venoumous below.. (JK )

Yea mantle game good with amd and some game good with nvidia

To set records straight, I'm using Cooler Master Extreme 2 625 PSU and it can power my system with R9 290 in it

But it's not really a good PSU hahhah, like others said get better PSU. I got mine because no choice when I pick parts for whole PC to assemble at shop (the shop carries high end seasonic but too expensive for me...)

looks like good...but what about watts..? can supports my specs...?

your parts aren't that power hungry...
I think at most it chugs less than 300 watts?

owh..ok

If you choose GTX770, 280X then better get higher wattage PSU

You might wanna get a better PSU soon.. (If it does fails.. )
