looking for a good psu for gaming needs

mohit2545 · May 18, 2013

i currently have these specs:
amd sempron 145 2.8 ghz
msi 760gm p33 mobo
2 gb ddr3 ram*1
amd radeon hd 5450 2gb powercolour edition
some 250W local psu.it worked for me for the last 2 years without any problems and is still running fine.
but now im gonna upgrade my pc.im gonna upgrade to this:
amd fx 6100 3.3ghz
Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2 Motherboard or ASUS M5A78L-M LX V2 Motherboard or Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 Motherboard.
amd radeon hd 5450 2gb powercolour edition.
4gb ddr3 ram.
im thinking of getting Corsair VS650 650 Watt PSU.will it be enough for my needs for hardcore gaming or is it ok if i get some other psu of 400-500W?

450W+ is more than enough. I would recommend a 550W in case you plan to upgrade that GPU later.

thanks.what mobo should i go for out of these 3?

ksham · May 18, 2013

The last Gigabyte one that you posted.

P.S.: get a FX-6300 if you can afford it. The 61xx line is mediocre.

mohit2545 · May 18, 2013

6300 is not available on the site where im ordering from.can i get atleast 60 fps on games like resident evil 6,gta4,sleeping dogs with a 6100?

ksham · May 18, 2013

No chance. Games are mostly GPU-intensive, not CPU-intensive. But the CPU can bottleneck a GPU and vice-versa. Your HD 5450 is a very weak card.

mohit2545 · May 18, 2013

then what card should i get?

mohit2545 · May 18, 2013

how many fps will i get on this card?

ksham · May 18, 2013

What is your budget? And with your current card, it's almost unplayable. Though I forgot to ask, what is your monitor resolution?

mohit2545 · May 18, 2013

1366*768 is the max resolution.im on a tight budget.currently i can afford only 210$ and i need it to buy the mobo,processor and psu.i cannot offord another gfx card.

ksham · May 18, 2013

Then try to stick another 2GB RAM in there.

mohit2545 · May 18, 2013

will that be enough to get atleast 40-50 fps on medium to high setting?

ksham · May 18, 2013

No chance. But it'll be a better build. Then when you get more money, upgrade the GPU. Heck, the AMD A10-5800K APU can play better than your GPU. Probably go with that.

mohit2545 · May 18, 2013

what is a good graphic card on amd.so i can run all games on it at highest settings?and how many fps will i get on the current graphic card with 2 gb added ram?

ksham · May 18, 2013

Try to get at least a HD 7770. I don't know stats for that card. There's really not much benchmarks for that card -- for good reasons. Anyway, it's near unplayable. Leave it at that.

For now, you can get that APU that I told you about.

mohit2545 · May 18, 2013

ok.thanks

ksham · May 18, 2013

You're welcome.

mohit2545 · May 18, 2013

mohit2545 · May 18, 2013
