Power supply question? (Please Read)

Pao2o · Jun 3, 2013

I am not sure what power supply I need to get. Any good power supplies that you highly suggest? There are so many, however, I am not sure which one to choose :/

Here are my specs:
Intel Core i5 3570k
Asus P8Z77-V LK
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8GB Memory
ASUS GTX 650 TI
WD Caviar Blue 1 TB

I prefer a power supply that is less then $100(Canadian currency)

If you need any more specs, let me know. Thank you

XFX 550W is sufficient. You can find it on NCIX or Newegg. And if at all possible, get a GTX 650 Ti Boost.

A 450W or so from Antec, Corsair, Enermax, Seasonic, or XFX will do you fine.

Thank you guys, I just used pcpartpicker and it estimated that the entire build will use 416W. Should I buy the 550W just to be safe in case I upgrade in the future? Or is the 450W enough?

Depends on what you plan to upgrade to. The GPU you chose is a low-end card and not very powerful. Even the strongest card out there today can be handled with a 600W PSU.

On second thought, I probably am not going to upgrade in a very long time. So which amount of power should I buy?

Sorry about the other thread, I accidentally put this one in the wrong category and I couldnt figure out to delete this.

How on earth would your entire build use 416W? You have a 77W CPU and a 110(?)W GPU. Together you are looking at just over 200W for the whole system. Why would that site say 416W? Trust me, a good 450-500W is more then enough.

For a system using a single GeForce GTX 650 Ti graphics card NVIDIA specifies a minimum of a 400 Watt or greater system power supply that has a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 20 Amps or greater and that has at least one 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connector.

NVIDIA bases their PSU recommendation on a system that uses a 130W CPU so you shouldn't have any problem using a reputable brand 400W or greater PSU.
