Building a new PC for the first time in 7 years and I'm having trouble deciding between two very similar power supplies at the same price. Are there any experts in the thread that could help shed some light on this? Thanks in advance! 1. https://www.microcenter.com/product...Gaming_and_Vari 2. https://www.newegg.com/seasonic-foc...S0gDxpFgkpUM28Q

Branch Nvidian posted:The Newegg listing has a 12VHPWR connector natively on the PSU, while the other would have to use an adapter. Thanks for the reply. It was my understanding those connectors were not designed very well and should be avoided, so I was planning on using an adapter in either case. Is that correct? I should have added that this will be powering a 7800x3d and a 4070 super.

So should i go with the one with the newer connector as it is probably generally better because newer?

I'm having trouble picking a B650 motherboard from microcenter. When I go down the review rabbit hole, no matter which board I'm looking at, I find dealbreaker level issues (like audio stuttering on the MSI Tomahawk). I'm trying to get something in the $150-200 range for a 7800x3d for typical gaming use. The only feature I care about beyond "just works" is a nice audio codec. Here are some of the ones I've been considering, but I"m open to suggestion (as long as it is carried by MC). https://www.microcenter.com/product/659662/msi-b650-mag-tomahawk-wifi-amd-am5-atx-motherboard https://www.microcenter.com/product/660139/asrock-b650-pg-lighting-amd-am5-atx-motherboard open box one of these: https://www.microcenter.com/product/660137/asrock-b650e-pg-riptide-wifi-amd-am5-atx-motherboard ($160 open box) Thanks thread.

Babby Formed posted:You're buying a 7800x3d from microcenter why would you not just go with the gaming x combo? If the on board audio isn't to your standard just grab an apple DAC and call it a day. You can change out the mobo/ram and still get the discount on the processor. I'm not sure if that is intended but it let me place an order with a tomahawk mobo and slightly better RAM for ~550.

Babby Formed posted:Oh if they're just letting you get whatever the hell motherboard you want now I think I'd see if I could get them to price match newegg's 179.99 on the b650e pg riptide Guessing they won't price match on top of the combo pricing. Might not hurt to ask, though. Here's what I'm cooking with at this point. Pairing this with a 4070 super, a frost commander 140, 990pro 2tb, and a 750W seasonic. Any final thoughts before I build this ?

Microcenter poppin off today. Still shows 480 when you add it in the card but probably will get fixed later?

I just got a frost commander 140 for my system which is also $35 on Amazon and has a 140mm fan. I think it performs ever so slightly better than the above.
