Graphic Cards decent psu for amd 6850

[ravipawar21]

i want to purchase a gpu for my pc and i have found that i also need a good psu..
i am opting for amd 6850 .but i want to know the psu which is just sufficient for this card.(that does not means i will compromise on quality)
so please suggest me a good psu in the range of 3000 inr. my config is given below
core 2 duo 7200
3 gb ram ddr2
19 inches lcd (native resolution of 1440*something)
2 hard drives of capacity 1.5 tb

note- i am not going to overclock the gpu never:hap5:

Get a Corsair VX450 ~ 3.5k

Get a Corsair VX450 ~ 3.5k

Get the Corsair VX 550 W ~4.5 K ( Bangalore price ) ~ gives you more room for upgrading later like extra HDD and such, but if budget does not permit minimum get the VX 450, hope this helped

 

[ravipawar21]

no plan of upgrade

@alpha , i have mentioned that psu should cost me under 3k.

Corsair CX400 in that case

6850 with Core i7 965 / X58 based overclocked to 3.75 GHz. consumes 278W

which CX400 should handle easily.

Hmm,get the Silverstone SST-ST50F-ES Power Supply,good for its price.

Dude, Go for the Vx 450.. its a little over your budget, but definitely worth it... else go for the above silverstone one, its 80 plus certified too...

C2D E7200???

Corsair CX400 get it, no point in spending too much, HD6850 just a little more than HD5770 power consumption, and E7200 is like 45W Athlon II X2

 

[ravipawar21]

thanks all for your valuable inputs..i have searched and found FSP SAGA II 500 watt psu on smc site....and it costs 2200 inr + it has 80% efficiency..so should i go for it.......

can it handle the load of 6850 .

 

[Marcus Fenix]

The above psu should handle it okay but its better to go with corsair cx400.If you can manage 700 bucks more nothing like the vx 450.Else you can look at these options-

Gigabyte 80 Plus Active PFC 460W SMPS has the best price/performance ratio compared to the others

Or else this is also a good option

Seasonic Bronze Power Supply 430Watt Model - S12II430

(btw seasonic makes the template of cx 400 which is copied by corsair)

VX450 for you, little out of your budget but you will be happy you did in the long run.

 

[TechHead]

Err.. why would you get a 6850 for playing at 1440*900? A 5670/5770 will be just fine for that res.

 

[devvfata1ity]

For that card and for the proc the VX 450 is more than sufficient.

Maybe plans to get a bigger monitor later :ashamed:

 

[ravipawar21]

yes i would go for bigger monitor but not this time ....thats why opting fr 6850

 

[Altair]

Get a VX550...It will work on smoothly VX450 too...

 

[Chaoseater]

Get a VX450 !! If your short of budget, check if anyone on the forum is seeling and amke a better deal if thats the case !!

 

[kaneunderground]

even a cm 500 extrem will do good .. costs 2.8k+tax!

 

[speedster911t]

go for vx450 very solid psu for the price it actually delivers more than 500w+ full stable loads & +5yrs warranty too backed by corsairs legendary tech support i should mention.
