Power Supply unit (is it enough for my graphic+processor)

Amangoel23 · Nov 22, 2013

So currently I'm planning on upgrading my PSU to http://www.snapdeal.com/product/cooler-master-thunder-600-watt/592796?pos=3;4
Is this psu enough for

amd processor phenom IIx6-1090t- overclocked to 3.8ghz
graphic card-gtx 760 msi (not overclocked)
6gb of ram
64bit windows OS.

is that psu good enough to handle it or do I need this?

I am not sure if that Cooler Master PSU is the right choice, can't see any 80plus certificate. Better get Antec, Corsair, Seasonic or XFX PSU. You'll be ok with 550W bronze.

Amangoel23 · Nov 22, 2013

May I ask what is 80plus certificate? and does those companies provide cheaper rate with the same power watt supply?

Corsair TX650V2
Get this one instead.

Better quality than either one of the two and will actually deliver the power it promises.

Corsair GS600 if you need to save some money.

Hello rvilk,is that the best option i've got for my system rig?Is there any cheaper/better alternative or is this my best option?I'd like to save as much as I can and at the same time be able to run that rig.

rvilkman · Nov 22, 2013

If you absolutely must save more money, you could go as low as the CX600

Anything cheaper than that i wouldn't use for that machine.
And Corsair beats the cooler master models in quality.

Will the http://www.snapdeal.com/product/corsair-cmpsu600cxv2uk-600-watts-psu/236836?pos=18;79 be able to run my rig under heavy gaming presence and will it be able too handle a overclocked gtx 760 in the future? or do I need a http://www.snapdeal.com/product/corsair-cmpsu600gs-600-watts-psu/236858?pos=43;79 or a http://www.snapdeal.com/product/corsair-cmpsu650txv2uk-650-watts-psu/236843?pos=35;79 for my rig to handle gtx 760 overclocked in the future

Any of them should be able to handle your rig overclocked as well.

For a system using a single NVIDIA Reference Design GeForce GTX 760 graphics card NVIDIA specifies a minimum of a 500 Watt or greater system power supply that has a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 30 Amps or greater and that has at least two 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors. Some of the GeForce GTX 760 cards have a single 8-pin or two 8-pin or one 6-pin and one 8-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors.

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.

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 Cooler Master Thunder 600W (RS-600-ACAB-D3) power supply unit, with its maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 47 Amps and with two (6+2)-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors, is more than sufficient to power your system configuration with a single NVIDIA Reference Design GeForce GTX 760 graphics card.

Because the input voltage is limited to 180~264Vac it is not sold worldwide so Cooler Master didn't apply for any level of 80 PLUS certification.

So basically, should I get the cheaper 600watt one or the more expensive 600 watt one.Will I see any difference and how will it effect my rig?

rvilkman · Nov 22, 2013

No, what you buy between the 3 is quality and peace of mind. Any of them will still run your machine just as good.
