I found many this type of questions, but i just want to be sure this will work. I recently bought this :

CPU: intel g3220
MOBO: gigabyte b85-d3h
RAM: 4gb crucial 1333
HDD: WD 500gb aakx
PSU: chieftec ctg450-80p
and had some chip case.
Graphic card will be probably some radeon 7770/7750 soon.
I was really on small budget and can't afford to by new psu right now...but when i decide to go for i5 i will probably must buy something..

This mobo has 8 pin connector, but psu has only one 4pin 12v connector.

Reading the manual http://goo.gl/Yj16oP on page 13 i think that psu 4 pin should be putted in 3,4,7,8 pins on mobo..but will this be enough for my CPU ? What about i5 ?



Sorry for my bad English

Thanks bro. No, i won't overclock of course, i think OC isn't possible on b85 chipset, but i will definitely upgrade to i5 later. BTW in my country even this chieftec is one of the better PSU's. :D

OK. Sorry. Didn't intend on that being an insult. It's just that I never heard of it and usually that means it is a cheapie. I just did a search and found that it has a 14A (168W) and 15A (180W) +12V rails. If the quality is good, it should be good for that class of cards.

You get me wrong. I just wanted to say that PSU market in my country is terrible ! No corsair, antec, xfx, sometimes there is seasonic, cooler master, and a lot of very cheap psu's for about 10 euros like codegen, blueberry, frontier, intex, and much more.
