Psu help 500 watt, and 430 watt

goalpwns · Mar 17, 2013

Is there a difference from choosing a 430 watt psu or a 500 watt psu? ALso will it make a differnce?

If your system can run with a 430W unit, there's not much difference going with a 500W unit. If you're unsure about which power supply to buy, list down your parts and budget and we can help you choose.

I run that kind of build off of a 400 watt you should be fine with a 430 watter

Thanks for the reply, but i already bought a CX500M so can i still run it?

The Corsair CX430 can provide 32Amps in it's 12V rail giving you 384W to power the CPU and graphics card. It'll be enough. Of course, there's nothing wrong with going with a slightly higher wattage unit like the Corsair CX500

I would go up slightly to the CX that
EzioAs has linked.
