If you can find it, the XFX Core edition 650W is a great PSU built by Seasonic.

Good luck

ingtar33 · Mar 20, 2014

well.. that build really doesn't need much more then 450W...

cpu - 85W (under load)
gpu - 180W (under load with an aggressive overclock)
rest of system ~ 100W
= 365W under load (probably closer to 300W under normal usage)

generally psus love it when most of your day to day usage ends up in their 60%-70% rated power output range (that's where they tend to be their most efficient).. which means a 450W-500W PSU would be ideal for your setup.

I happen to have a silver rated 750W XFX pro series psu (made by seasonic) that's lights out fantastic, so i don't think you could possibly go wrong with one of the pro series XFX psus

Mephikun · Mar 20, 2014

No, it doesn't but in case of future upgrades it may be worth it. The 550w version of the PSU I recommended would work just fine, I just like a little wiggle room.

Addie_72 · Mar 20, 2014

how about these?

Ingtar33 is on the right track. I wouldn't add so much for the rest of the system but he's mostly spot on. 300W is where the GTX760 benches out at. My 7950 draws more power and is usually found around 325W.

I have my tower powered by a rosewill capstone 450. It comes in a modual version, and larger if you'll be OCing. 80 plus gold rated with 7 year warranties. Very good units.

Addie_72 · Mar 20, 2014

can you please suggest a good psu that is avalable at www.flipkart.com for rs 5000-rs6000?

4745454b · Mar 20, 2014

Is 6150 ok?

If not, I'd probably go with this one.

Either the one you found (top link) or the Seasonic that 4745... found would work well. If you can afford the splurge, the Seasonic he listed first in the prior post would be even better;

all of them are avalaible at my location

4745454b · Mar 20, 2014

Off the top of my head I'd say the Corsair 600CX

Addie_72 · Mar 20, 2014

or the cooler master gxii 550 watts?

ko888 · Mar 21, 2014

The OP must not care about Haswell compatibility.

what do you mean?

Addie_72 · Mar 21, 2014

I am going for the cooler master gxii 550 watts psu its haswell compatble waht do you say?

4745454b · Mar 21, 2014

Exactly sweeny. As long as you don't use sleep/suspend you'll never notice/know if your PSU is Haswell compatible or not. I wouldn't make it a concern really.

I can't find a real review for that unit. The 650W unit didn't fare so well at HardOCP. I did notice that the "reviews" I did see of the 550 were from 2010-11, so it's an older unit. Probably not a good idea.

Addie_72 · Mar 21, 2014

4745454b thats a older one the one that i am looking for is GXII
review is here :
http://www.hitechlegion.com/reviews/power-supplies/37960-cm-gxii-550

or should i go for a cx600?

4745454b · Mar 21, 2014

I saw that "review", but because it's not a true max load I discredit it. They only plug in parts and hit "80%-100%" load. And even there the 12V rail is already down to 11.75V. At the very least voltage regulation isn't as good as most units. It should be able to handle the <300W load you'll be using. I just prefer to know more about the PSUs abilities before I buy it.

Addie_72 · Mar 22, 2014

SO What do you recommend ?

4745454b · Mar 22, 2014

"sorry but none of them that you all listed is avalable at my location my pincode is 263139"

"Off the top of my head I'd say the Corsair 600CX "

Already gave my reply, there is the refresher.

Addie_72 · Mar 22, 2014

aight' i'll buy the CX600

ko888 · Mar 22, 2014

The only Corsair CX Series model that is confirmed Intel Haswell Compatible is the 750 Watt model because it's based on the newer DC-to-DC circuit design. All of the other non-Haswell compatible CX Series models are based on the older group regulated circuit design.

What jonnyGURU.com said about Haswell ready:

So I've seen a lot of companies posting that their group regulated PSUs are
"Haswell ready". Sure.. anything is Haswell ready if you disable C7 sleep state
in the BIOS, but that doesn't meet Intel's definition of Haswell ready, so it's
sort of misleading.

Cooler Master definitely falls into this category of being misleading.
