Corsair RM 650 M - 8875 + and Corsair TX650M - 5850+

Does the TX model shy away from providing connectors? What am I really gaining if I am doing RM 650m over TX650M? or am I just flushing money down the drain?

I'm assuming these are prices w/o tax, still a great price for TX650M with 18% tax.

RM is the superior PSU in terms of quality, but IMO TX650M will be fine for most, hence I suggest it.

I checked with half a dozen dealers and nobody has ASUS x570 TUF Pro WiFi.

My dealer tells me there is barely any price difference between Corsair TX650M and the Antec 750W

Checking with him for CM MWE 650W Gold series

There are PSU efficiency rating, that Antec one is bronze, vs Gold rating of Corsair TX/RM series, which is superior.

Finally the build looks like this. Hopefully all things fall into place to get this system delivered in the next 12 hours. 5500XT is for Hackintosh. Worse case scenario I'll do RX 580 Sapphire to shave off the cost. Looking to seal this at or under 1.5L, doable or pretty ambitious?

Looks good, only con I can see is paying a bit more than you would have to for the same performance. Otherwise, the parts are themselves good, COVID has affected supply chain & prices have increased as well. I'm just nitpicking at this point, go ahead with that build.

Sent him my bargained quote. Hope my quote is not coming off to him as aggressive bargain pricing. I'll still be content if I am seal the entire thing at 1.5L or slightly higher, which is what I set out to do.

I am also getting the system delivered home, let's see if there are any charges involved there (regardless Imma tip the delivery guy)

Also had discussed with him below points, now summarized the same and sent it to him

1. Also Need all the boxes, plastic covers, cables, manuals etc .. Everything we are not using in the build should be in the box handed over to me
2. All Brand new sealed products should be used
3. Invoice should be generated under my name
4. Need an email and or a letter from you promising me after sales and listing how many years warranty/guarantee you are going to provide me for this build (or if you want to do component wise, you can mention the same as well). Also mention which components you won't do replace etc and I need to go to the manufacturer
5. Also for replacement I need to know if somebody would come and collect things or should I get things to your store etc...?
6. Assembly should be done perfectly with cable management

Anything else to keep in mind?

Actually prices of parts like R7 3700X, mobo, PSU, cabinet & even monitor are fine. State that other parts are overpriced, like vedantcomputer has that GPU for 20k with tax, etc. Still, see how much he is willing to reduce from your total price.

Among your queries, after sales will be taken care of by manufacturer, not shops & you will have to ship your product in most cases or drop it in a service centre. Ask him about proper packaging, like the side glass of the cabinet shouldn't be cracked.

Bengaluru should have service centres for all major brands & yes tell him to be extra careful & use extra protective packaging for cabinet as side glass panel is really vulnerable during transportation.

@whitestar_999 - Mentioned the packing bit to him :)

Also he mentioned that everything if anything goes wrong within a month, he'll replace everything immediately. He also mentioned that post the month, he'll come and collect things if needed for any warranty related issues. He'll send it to the manufacturer, follow-up and deliver the repaired/replaced product to me. He'll mention all this is the second page of the invoice so that I have it in writing.

I didn't haggle much and we settled for 1.54L as he is willing to provide decent after sales support.

He said delivery on Monday, hopefully it'll be done. Lockdown in Bangalore from Tuesday(14th), hopefully I get it on Monday. Will keep you all posted.

Thanks a ton everybody who pitched in here for your invaluable input and patience. Much gratitude!

I just put everything in pcpartpicker, just to see if there is something I'll run into.

There was one compatibility note -
The Gigabyte X570 AORUS PRO WIFI ATX AM4 Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the Corsair RM 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply does not. This connector is used to supply additional 12V current to the motherboard. While the system will likely still run without it, higher current demands such as extreme overclocking or large video card current draws may require it.

Is this something I should be worried about?

Any suggestion for a Printer cum Scanner? I don't need FAX though. Printer will mostly be used for taking printouts of boarding pass and other documents, won't be used always though. Looking for a wireless one. I have never owned a printer. Now that I'm thinking of it, I wouldn't mind splurging a bit more to print my photographs too. Don't want the printer cartridge to burn holes in my wallet.

That's why I went with 750w PSU because my MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC has one 8 pin + one 4 pin EPS power connectors.
No PSU below 750w offers 2x 8pin eps connectors other than all 750w SMPSes

It is an often confusion creating point, that extra 4 pin power connector is only needed if you are planning on doing extreme overclocking using liquid Nitrogen(check some youtube videos, it really looks cool. no pun intended).

See my above post, it is not required unless you are doing LN2/liquid nitrogen overclocking.

Oh thanks last time my motherboard was assembled by a repairman I asked him not to forget that 4 pin EPS connector along with the usual 8 pin EPS.
Thanks again I was so worried though I have 750w PSU and all connectors plugged in.
I thought maybe not using that 4 pin EPS might have fried the bios chip but it's resolved now right.
