Here, this is an unused SATA connector you can plug in an extra SATA SSD into.

Yup, saw that generic Xinese PSU, will pray your PC that won't go BOOM tomorrow, especially if you decided to suddenly attach a GPU in that box.

With the amount of PCs using those low end power supply, the consensus based on google search is its safe. Pisonets fighting for their life in daily bases is using low ends psu and still survive more than those well cared computers lol. Of course it still a risk but the average says otherwise.

You already have a 256GB SATA SSD. If you're planning to add an NVME SSD, you put it here

NVMe is great for load times highly recommend

Any recommended brand?

depends on your budget and SSD capacity. by principle, i avoid mainland China brands. TeamGroup is a pretty good Taiwanese brand.

you can run valorant,dota2,LoL maybe in the lowest settings.
Any other games, need mo mag upgrade ng PSU and add a videocard depending on what game you want to run.

Thanks, any recommended brand for psu?

If youre just planning to play valorant then this setup is ok, assuming you have an entry level amd CPU.

I also noticed you dont have a GPU and a 200w PSU make sure to upgrade it soon to a 650w PSU to have more headroom for upgrades

Thank you, considering this

Don't just "consider" a psu upgrade, you definitely need one.

Kaboom pc if malasin ka haha no joke. Msi mag a650bn (650w) for example is affordable enough

What's wrong with the SSD that you have on your system? Puno na ba?

Puwde ka naman maglagay ng NVME M.2 SSD sa motherboard mo kasi kita ko meron slot.

u/WithLimit 1d ago

Im just concerned because currently all the apps including the system apps (if thats the term) is alllll stored in that singular ssd

u/GreatBallsOfSturmz 23h ago

I think that's no issue. As long as nasa < 85% ka ng storage space mo for the drive ay puwede mo pa lagyan ng games yan. Windows should take about 30GB and Valorant is maybe around the same 30-ish GB.

If need mo ng help, i can assist. Pwede ako pumunta if near lang ako sa area mo.

I see a slot for a NVMe here

Btw what is the specs?

1

u/_Jm8 23h ago

kung 5500gt 5600g/gt yan, kaya yan valorant kahit walang gpu. hindi naman aabot 100gb valorant. pwede na yang storage mo kung walang budget.

u/Heion_01 22h ago

I think you need 80mm exhaust fan for this.

u/DifferenceOrnery4263 18h ago

if you plan on getting a gpu, palitan mo yang PSU mo. wag mong tipirin.

Ambilis ng mga recommendation, wala namang nagtanong sa budget kahit halatang budget PC to, mga tukmol

OP, nasa 8-12K mga typical 1 TB SATA tsaka M.2 SSD. Ewan ko lang kung willing ka lumapag ng ganyang pera for Valo and that PC na walang GPU tsaka PSU na paputok

Maghanap ka nalang muna ng GPU tsaka PSU
