So if I throw a 1000w PSU in my rig, it would go faster?
Please watch this and learn how many watts you actually need.

I'd get an XFX or Seasonic PSU but make sure it's not overkill like 1000w, 450w-600w should be fine c:
also you'll have to connect all the cables yourself make sure you're comfortable with that

Also this one is cheaper and I love asus lmao
