I need help with the PSU please

DaguerHz · Jan 19, 2014

So this is my build

CPU: AMD A10 5800K
Motherboard: MSI FM2-A55M-E33
GPU: Asus Radeon HD 7750
RAM: 4GB ddr3 1600mhz
Optical Drive: Asus 24x DVD-RW
Case: Rosewill Challenger

So basicly I need help choosing the PSU, because I go into various PSUs calculator and some say I should use a 350 W and other say a 450W, which should I use? What do you recommend?

A rig like yours with a single HD7750 will run on a modern 300watt PSU but if you are buying a new PSU I would say a quality 430-450watt at minimum for possible future GPU upgrade.

if you dont have this APU already , go with FX processor .
7750 draws power from pci-e slot .no need of power connectors , good psu 350W+ should get the job done.

Which FX processor would you recommend? ( it has to be in the same price range as the A10 5800k, 100)

FX6300!

Not the MSI motherboard it has issues! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AgN1D79Joo7tdE9xMUFlMEVWeFhuckJEVF9aMmtpUFE&chrome=false&gid=0 it should work fine with the lesser FX though.

A big site recommends it with FX 6300 ! if you wish a mobo for $200 , get with 990FX chipset .

this mobo is not ideal for FX 8350 , which is 125W but FX 6300 and FX 4300 are only 95W !!!

I have that MSI board and therefore if buying today I would never buy it again and get the Asus board recommended instead!

rolli59 :

if you paired it with FX 8350 , you had problems for sure .

I always recommend boards so the OP can actually upgrade the CPU later on to extend the life of it. With other better boards in the same price performance group I see a reason to ignore the MSI solution.
