Powersupply don't over do it.<br>
But like in anycase you are getting a pretty good price for that
PSU,<br>
so it doesn't super matter.<br>
<br>
I also won't try for having a good warrentee.<br>
Powersupplies in Australia always come with a 2 year warranty (its
part of our consumer protection law).<br>
And 2 years is about how long we (as an organization) can hold onto
the knowledge of the details to warranty things (or remember we
even have one).<br>
<br>
I also think modular power supplies aren't worth it.<br>
Avoiding losing the power modules sucks and it takes up space in the
clubroom.<br>
And they are basically useless and almost never used.<br>
If we went modular, I suggest throwing out the unused modules, and
then if we want to shift it to a different machine,<br>
then just buy the new ones we need when we need them.<br>
Or bundle them up and keep them in case with the PSU.<br>
<br>
Is there a reason it doesn't have an SSD specced?<br>
<br>
I feel the GPU is a bit over priced.<br>
Everything else looks like your getting fairly good deals.<br>
<br>
I think having watercooling on at least 1 clubroom machine is great
for use as a club.<br>
Like Elton said (I think)<br>

<div dir="auto">As for the PSU I agree 750W is a bit overkill.
Brand wise however EVGA are fantastic and I have the same PSU
myself. This PSU also comes with a 10 year warranty. Having
rebuilt some of the machines with non modular PSUs recently,
dealing with the octopus of cables is a real pain. I think
losing and throwing out cables is something that should be
dealt with as that is the issue as opposed to the modular
PSUs.</div>

<div dir="auto">As a tech club I think we should have at least
one AIO, considering they are becoming more and more
prevalent. It will give us the opportunity to show people how
to set them up too in the hopefully planned build a PC event.
In summer it should help keep the Ryzen cool since our
clubroom gets quite hot. Ryzen CPUs benefit a bunch from
overclocking too, and having this cooler on the Ryzen build
means we can push that possibility even though our clubroom
gets quite hot.</div>

style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">Power
supply is way over-specced – that PSU is for a
machine with 4 graphics cards and 2 CPUs. At max
load, total power usage of your build should be
under 300W, so a 400W or 450W supply would be ample
– perhaps a chance to take either a cheaper option
or a better brand at the same price. Though it’s not
modular, I’ll happily vouch for the Corsair CX550 at
$89 – my experience with modular PSUs at UCC is that
the spare connectors get lost or thrown out anyway,
so non-modular should mean we get better re-use out
of them (and cables interfering with cooling is
really not an issue).</span></p>

Furthermore, Cobra's processor has been
