I suggest that this community should consider bringing in the “Daily Simple Questions” threads. They were fun to participate and build community. Perhaps make the threads weekly, instead of daily as the community continues to grow with Redfugees.

Don’t worry about the reputation / !check system, though. Upvotes for good advice is sufficient, IMO.

    How to pick a PSU? 80+ isn’t as reliable. Think, I should rely on Cybernetics and find reviews about noise and stuffs, but most of the review site only review big PSU like 750 - 1000w, which is overkill for me.

      There used to be a PSU tier list thread on the LTT forums that people referred to a lot. Last I checked, it hadn’t been updated in a while, but might be a good place to start, regardless.

        Found PSU cultist. They keep updating their tier list and publishing articles. Tom’s hardware also review PSUs in depth.

        CPU: R5 5600g GPU: GTX 1070ti SSDs:

        • 512 GB
        • 1TB HDD: 1TB

        Newegg PSU calculated 500-599 watts, but I think pushing for something like 750+ for head way of upgrading would be nice.

        Just ordered a Corsair RM 850. Found it cheaper than some other 750 watts PSUs in my country.

          Corsair is a great choice. You’ll have plenty of head room, especially since their PSUs are known to handle higher loads than what they’re rated for
