Best psu for my rig

aravinth5992 · Aug 21, 2013

Hello guys. this is my rig

AMD FX 4100 @3.6 GHZ
ASUS M5A88M
EVM 8 GB DDR3 1333
HIS HD 6850 775/1000
WD 500GB HDD
LG DVD DRIVE
SUPERPOWER 550W
CASE FANS 80MM X 2

planning on installing two more 120mm when i get NZXT gamma cabinet which I think the best bang for the money as I am in India,the cheapest and best I can find.
my choice of psu are

seasonic eco 600
corsair vs 650
antec vp 650p

I checked online calulators like extreme power,cooler master,asus and observed that no sites crossed 470w @ 50% capacitor aging.
suggest me a good psu for my price range of 4500 INR max.I will have upgrades only in case fans or cpu cooler and also a little overclocking if needed but not on the crossfire or any other.
suggest from my choices or any help from out of the box is appreciated.

thanks in advance.

Hi - The online calculators are OK as a rough estimate only. Your system will run
fine on a quality 450w PSU, with the OC, etc., you might want to go with any
of the three you listed. All will do well, and have plenty of spare headroom, for
OC, extra fans, cooler,etc.

Actually, if your current PSU was a good quality unit, it would suffice.

Normally, I would just recommend the Seasonic right off, but I'd really need the
model # to be sure, and since all three on your list are good brands and plenty
of power, you should select the least expensive of the three.

thanks for your response.

my current psu is not a branded one like the three I mentioned,even I cant find that model in google. and I changed my gpu under warranty for the third time.maybe its the psu accounting for the mess.so its good to change the psu into some good manufacturer.

Agreed - The PSU is the one component in your system that can damage or destroy
other components when it dies. The good quality brands such as the three you listed
above meet their publ specs, and built in a lot more protection features than the
no-name brands.

Yeah, I tried to get info on that PSU earlier and couldn't. Don't confuse it with Super Flower,
like Google did. Superflower is a good quality OEM.

Hi again - did find something on it, it is actually a 380w PSU and a very old design (even if
the PSU isn't old, the design is), I couldn't find a UL # on the image, so I could find out
who the OEM is, but the specs listed suggest you need to upgrade.

roger that.I would go with the seasonic eco600BT as it has 46A on 12v rail which means I get a solid rock power of 552W that beast can run with no issue. Thanks for your info.
