Hey guys, in today's video I am talking about power supplies. I know I said I was going to talk about CPUs but because of how important power supplies are and how they are not covered enough I felt it was important to spend some time talking about them before we get to the more fun stuff.
So in this video I make 4 points that if you follow you can't go wrong when buying a power supply. 1) make sure you are buying for a good brand. Seasonic, EVGA, Corsair, be quiet!, cooler master, XFX are all good brands.
2) make sure you are getting enough watts for your system. this is hard to figure out for most PC builders luckily there are tools such as PC part picker which will do a compatibility check. all you have to do is go to there website, configure a system and it will tell you how many watts that system will need and if the power supply you picked out will give you enough power. This is a tool most pc builders use.
3) Next up is to decide is you want a modular, semi-modular, or non-modular power supply. usually non-modular power supplies are cheaper but then you have to deal with a mess of cables you aren't gonna use. Modular power supplies are more expensive usually but do make cable management easier. Semi-modular are right in the middle usually having the 24 pin cable is soldered to the psu but the others can be detached. Its up to you and your budget which works best for you.
4) You have to make sure the power supply will actually fit into the case you want. You don't want to get all your parts just to find out that the power supply doesn't fit and you have to wait to get a new one. Again this is a great time to uses pc part picker to see if your power supply will fit.
