I was wondering about VIP silver 500w PSU,is that any good?

 

[chetansha]

what PSU ?

DFI N4F / AMD Athlon x2 4200+ 2x1 GB pc3200 corsair, PNY Verto 9600GSO, 500gbx1-blue , 750gbx1-blue, 1.5TB x1-Green( All WD), 1x Sata DVD RW.

\Huntkey V550? Corsair 450vx ?

 

[DarkAngel]

Big no to Huntkey. They are pathetic PSU's.
Get a Corsair CX400 ~ 2.8k

 

[chetansha]

sure CX400 is ok ? i was planning 650TX. for future up gradation too

 

[Revolution]

Also look at the new Seasonic S12II 520W.....

Whats differnce between Gigabyte LM 400W 80+ PSU and Gigabyte superb 460W? Is there much? Coz id asked my assembler to put in Gigabyte superb 460W but instead he put in Gigabyte LM 400W 80+..I found out recently..My rig is:

AMD Phenom II X4 925 Proccy
Gigabyte 785GMT DDR3 Mobo
Sapphire HD5750 1GB GPU
2GB Kingston DDR3 Ram
500GB Samsung HDD
20" Samsung LCD Monitor
Gigabyte KM Combo
iBall Stunner Cabinet

Is this PSU enough to power my rig?
Also..I am planning to put in 1 GPU cooler and 2GB Ram..Will the PSU able to carry all this load?

Please suggest me a PSU for a HTPC / mild gaming rig

Intel core i3 – 530

Gigabyte GA-H55M-USB3

RAM 2GB DDR3 @ 1333Mhz

Bluray Drive

HDD : 8 drives

Case Fans : 5 (92mm x2, 80mm X3)

Future Addition : Sata Card for more ports and provision to add a mid / low range graphics card.

 

[Rockfella]

^ CX400/vx450 best bets!

Thanks for the advice. I also had vx450 in mind.

btw any Modular 450watts psu available in India ?

 

[Rockfella]

Check HX450, 7 yrs warrantee... thats something.

India does not get the HX450 and many other power supplies from Corsair.

How is the FSP Saga II 500w PSU. Haven't read much about it.
Wanted to buy a PSU within 3K. Have C2D + Intel mobo. Planning to buy a GPU soon.

Which GPU?

You can consider CX400 (if you can get it under 3k) and Seasonic S12II 320W

 

[ysrathore]

GPU would be a 4870 or 5850. That won't be that soon though..Couple of months maybe.....

 

[Mephistopheles]

Then get a CX400 or if you can spend some 500-700 more then get a VX450
