Starting a gaming PC at 1440p?
Hi,
Here are the options you have to consider:
Aerocool LUX 750W 80PLUS Bronze
Corsair RM750e 80PLUS Gold
Seasonic B12 80 Plus Bronze 750W
MSI MAG A750BN PCIE5 80PLUS Bronze 750W
Mars Gaming MPB750M 80Plus Bronze 750W
FSP Hydro K Pro 750W
Corsair CX750 80PLUS Bronze
The RME model is also available, though it's the priciest.
From your options, the RMe stands out as the top selection. The MSI MAG isn't terrible. I wouldn't choose any of the others.
Is there a SeaSonic G12 available? It's quite good at least. Still not outstanding.
I'd consider another SSD. Crucial or Western Digital would be better if a Samsung is too costly.
The SeaSonic G12 isn't available, but I have three other options to consider.
TeamGroup MP33 M.2 PCIe NVMe 1TB
TeamGroup T-FORCE CARDEA Z44L M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe 1TB
MSI SPATIUM M450 NVMe M.2 1TB
However, the one in my build offers the fastest read/write speeds.
It seems like a solid setup! To cut costs, consider a more affordable case that still includes fans.
If the Ryzen 5 5600 is in stock, they tend to be cheaper and operate cooler than the 5600X without significantly affecting performance.
For gaming purposes, opt for the lowest-priced PCIe 3.0 NVMe drive you can find. Higher speeds aren’t necessary for gameplay.
Regarding power supplies, there’s a resource called the "PSU Cultist List":
PSU Tier List rev. 17.0g - Cultists Network
This guide assists in selecting the optimal PSU from numerous options available. Whether you’re on a budget or at the top end, it covers everything from entry-level to premium models.

It doesn’t include every PSU but offers recommendations. Choose a "C" tier or above if your budget allows and it’s accessible in your area.
Good luck with your project!
Hey thanks for the reply!
For this situation it seems to be either this model or some very inexpensive, lesser-known brands that lack reviews.
I’m thinking of using the 5600x instead of the 5600 because I’ll be keeping the build for a while and the slight boost could make a difference, but if there’s no major distinction I’ll go with the 5600.
That’s the cheapest SSD I’ve managed to find.
Looking at the tier list, the RME looks like the top choice for me.
