My main goal here is to get at minimum 40 fps in intensive 20man mythic raiding fights if you don't think this build will be able to do that please suggest what you would change to fix that thanks

Looks good to me, only changes I would make is making sure you have a decent CPU cooler (CM 212 EVO is the common cheap go-to).

Also, I would personally ditch the Radmax PSU and get a new one. For a "730w" PSU, it only delivers a real 550w. While that's still technically enough, that kind of whitepaper misrepresentation indicates poor manufacturing. A good 500w PSU is better than a crappy 10,000w PSU, because the parts are likely meh.

[zenophix]

Yeah I will definitely be getting a CPU cooler and i'll look into another PSU any brands you recommend? Thanks for the help appreciate it

I'd look at good deals on XFX psus, they keep getting recommended on here so something like a XFX 550w I'd have thought would be sufficient for your requirements.

[chazus]

Yeah, XFX is pretty much the go-to, simply because they're good quality and often cheaper. If your Raidmax has been working, you can in theory keep it... But it makes me nervous. It's sort of like driving your car with the check engine light on. The car handles and runs fine but there's still... something not quite right. Will your car explode any moment? Probably not. It might even be something harmless like some air flow problem that is reducing your mpg by a tiny bit.. But it could also be something like a piston not firing, or a large hose/gasket leak.

It's a gamble that I wouldn't take, but if it's been like that for this long, it may be fine.

So more or less something like XFX TS Series P1-550G-TS3X 550W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Active PFC Power Supply would be what you guys recommend from looking at it and things i've read they look pretty solid.

How much is it? Or link? Gold are usually too expensive unless on sale

[zenophix]

It's only like 85$

[chazus]

Eh. My opinion is "Why spend $85 on something that costs $60 and is just as good" $25 is $25.

That thing? It's new apparently.

I like how the title says gold, but it's description says bronze...
Just go for similar minus the "gold" lable...
