Right i have got an I3 2100 processor a Palit Nvidia GTX 650 ti 2gb will be getting an Asus motherboard a Western Digital 1tb Hardrive and some RipJawz x 8gb memory i was wondering what power supply is needed to run this.? thanks

I'd go a 450 with 20amps on the 12 volt rail as a minimum - that will leave a little extra for additional small addons

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.

Overclocking of the CPU and/or GPU(s) may require an additional increase to the maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current ratings, recommended above, to meet the increase in power required for the overclock. The additional amount required will depend on the magnitude of the overclock being attempted.

The XFX Pro Series Core Edition 450W (P1-450S-X2B9) power supply unit, with its maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 34 Amps and with one (6+2)-pin PCI Express supplementary power connector, is way more than sufficient to power your system configuration with a single GeForce GTX 650 Ti graphics card.

£35.34 Inc VAT
