    Best PSU for Intel Core I7-4790K Devil's Canyon Quad-Core 4.0GHz LGA 1150

    Hello guys, I'm gathering the build and I don't have any experience in making custom builds so what is the best PSU for Intel Core i7 ? I don't want it to be too expensive.. =)

    Also, what's the best case?

    Is this really a question? Like, is this serious? The CPU has a TDW of 88W. The best PSU for you has literally nothing to do with your CPU, nor case.You should probably give full specs in, or at the very least your GPU, mobo, and your plans of what you'll be using it for.
    Computer Specifications:
    Case: NZXT H500i
    PSU: EVGA SuperNova 750W
    Mobo: Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Ultra
    CPU: Intel Core i7-9700K
    CPU Cooling: Kraken x62
    RAM: Gigabyte Aorus 16GB(8x2)3200Mhz
    GPU: Asus 1080 Strix

    That's my first custom build that's why I barely know anything.

    Here is my specs (Still has somethings not included yet):
    Intel Core I7-4790K Devil's Canyon Quad-Core 4.0GHz LGA 1150 Desktop Processor
    MSI Z97 GAMING 5 Socket 1150 Motherboard
    Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
    MSI GeForce GTX 750 Ti OC 2GB GDDR5 (N750TI-2GD5/OCV1)

    If you're going that high end, I'd suggest going for 16GB of ram(IF, AND ONLY IF you plan on doing mutitasking on a decently high level), and going for a higher end GPU, as that's not really a low teir CPU. What are you planning on doing with your PC, exactly?

    Recording while playing games for the YouTube channel and might as well be gaming only. Is it alright if there is no upgrade? I mean I don't have any more money to upgrade for better GPU and 16 GB ram.

    By the way, how much did your PC cost? And how much FPS at Battlefield 4, COD and GTA 5?

    Get some 80+ Bronze or higher shit from a known brand, slap that shit on with at least 600W, and you should be fine.

    Um. It was around $1600 when I bought it a year ago. Then this new card(I had a 770) was $484.

    GTA At max settings@ 2560x1080 is above 60 at all times, sometimes it dips to 40's. But I am playing past 1080. BF4 at same res/max never dips below 80. COD? I don't really play COD anymore, so couldn't tell you lol

    I have a 750 from EVGA. The supernova specifically.

    If you get the first gen which is semi-modular is is only $90 on Amazon.
