Power Supply Wattage for my specs?

plutonicmind9 · Jul 25, 2013

MOBO: ASUS P8Z68V PRO
CPU: Intel i5 3350p
Video Card: nVidia GTX 460
RAM: 2gb x 3
HDD: 1TB

Only component I might upgrade in the coming 2-3 years is the GPU, and it will be for a $170 graphics card maximum (at that moment, of course)

A cosair or seasonic 650w unit will work. It give you head room for cap age if your going to have this pc for awhile. If you thinking of sli two gpu buy a larger unit.

Neat.

I prefer amazon though as I have free shipping with them.

What about this one?

http://www.amazon.com/Seasonic-80Plus-M12II-620-BRONZE/dp/B003HE260I/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1374782959&sr=1-1&keywords=seasonic+m12ii

They're the exact same price on amazon so, it's a matter of brand I guess...

Yes that is a great fit!!!!!!!!Buy it!!!!

Fantastic choice!!!!!

Any reason I shouldn't get this one then?

http://www.amazon.com/Seasonic-M12II-650-BRONZE-Power-Supply/dp/B00607JMI8/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1374793674&sr=1-4&keywords=seasonic

Same brand, same price, a bit more power.

Dark Lord of Tech · Jul 25, 2013

They are both great units and both are made by Seasonic.

Can't lose with either choice.

Good choice - your sys will run fine on a quality 500w PSU, a quality 650
gives you plenty of headroom and flexibility on you next gpu.

Thanks for the info.

I'm now deciding between the 650w one and goo.gl/6i3E1T

The 80+ gold rating seems neat.

I'm looking at reviews online and stuff and it seems it should be enough for whatever mid-range gaming card I might get in the future.

Reading a couple of reviews on both to make a final decision though.

---Thanks to everyone for the help!---
