This is my current build that I'm writing from, I recently bought the processor/mobo, and I'm waiting on taxes to come back in order to get an R9 390. The PSU I have is actually a diablotek 770 but I just used the corsair as a placeholder.
I'm just wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to things I could add or replace on my build to help with performance. Nothing super expensive but within a reasonable budget (100-200$). I was thinking of getting a different PSU because I don't know how much I trust diablotek but I figured I'd get a second opinion first.
