Please help decide a PSU for the system.

Currently have a generic I-ball PSU running following rig.
AMD X2 5200+
MSI board(690G)
4 GB Corsair XMS2
250 GB hard drive
DVD writer

Now I am adding a HD4850 513 DDR3 to it, so upgrading the PSU.

PSU selection Corsair VX450 or Tagan TG500-U37?

If its between the Corsair VX450 and the Tagan 500, get the VX eyes closed.

Six month down the line, I may change mobo and cpu or change the GPU.

Will vx450 be able to handle the upgrade?

 

[TheITWares]

Both will work fine without any issues

If u want more headroom then go for VX450

 

[Rockfella]

Maxme VX450 FTW! Dont think twice!

 

[maxme]

@TheITWares, will place my order on ebay tonight.

I am running a slightly upgraded version of your rig on my VX450. I think you have made the right choice. This product is of top-notch quality rarely seen in stuff you get these days. And stellar performance with a 5 year warranty(I think Tagan has 2 years?) to boot :hap2:

Either are good, if you have no issues spending 500 bucks more, go for the VX w/o thinking

^ yes it rock stable i have even done 4 GHZ on 1.3 vcore and ram oc oc too

it run stable and single rail 12v give better option
