Budgetish High Watt PSU

Skrone · Jul 27, 2013

Hey guys, I need to get a new psu for when I get a video card (planning on getting this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127720) and wondered which one I could get on a budget that would do the job. My CPU is an i5 3330. Thank you in advance! (would like to get the PSU for under $50ish)

Will 430W be enough if I ever decide to upgrade to something like an i7 3770?

I would go to the CX500 ^ for a little future proofing , but 430w will still do it.

Skrone :

For a system using a single GeForce GTX 650 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.

Total Power Supply Wattage is NOT the crucial factor in power supply selection!!! Sufficient Total Combined Continuous Power/Current Available on the +12V Rail(s) rated at 45°C - 50°C ambient temperature, is the most critical factor.

Both the i5-3330 and the i7-3770 are 77 Watt TDP processors so there should be no problem for the Corsair CX430 to power the system using either CPU.
