Need a new Power Supply

bl4ckst0rm · Apr 20, 2014

I am completely new to forums, so I apologize if I make a mistake.
Coming to the topic, I am Rohan Jadav from India, and these are my PC specs:-
iBall 8298 case - http://www.iball.co.in/Product/i8298/299
Intel DH61WW motherboard
Intel Core i3 - 2100 @ 3.1 GHz processor
Transcend 4 GB DDR3 1333 MHz RAM
Zotac Geforce GTX 750 ti 2GB GDDR5
LG E2060 1600x900 monitor
Seagate Barracuda 500GB HDD
LG DVD Drive
I am completely new to tech stuff, so I don't know what do I have to check while buying a PSU.
My budget is ~3.5k INR
I have decided to buy a Seasonic Eco 500W, would it be fine with my current specs?

You really don't need 500W to power this build. You could just get a corsair 430W and call it a day! XD

CoolVengeance :

There are some problems, which you won't believe, so I am not revealing them.
I am buying a 500W PSU because I won't be getting a completely new PC, I will have to upgrade everything one-by-one, I am planning to buy an FX-6300 and M5 A97 R2.0 (I might be wrong, as I am new to tech, but it is irrelevant here), and I may even buy a new HDD and RAM.
I don't want to upgrade my PSU every now and then.

Yes, it will be fine then.

The Seasonic is fine but if you want to save some of that money this Antec is plenty http://www.flipkart.com/antec-vp450p-450-watts-psu/p/itmda3ncpuga3hpu?pid=PSUDA3NCT4Z4SKKR&srno=b_5&ref=f1d58ac6-65a0-4212-a038-c7d5c0dfc38a
The GPU you have or GTX750Ti only calls for 300watts in the system and even with either of those PSU's you can upgrade to R9 270 or GTX660 and still have plenty of power for extra drives and so on.

The Seasonic ECO 500W is a decent unit, comes with a 3 year warranty, yea it does not have all the nice sleeved cables like the CX430 but its fine for your needs.

I like your choice of components, bl4ckst0rm! FX-6300 and GTX 750ti are pretty much the best CPU and graphics card you can get for that price.

Corsair makes good PSU's, and I have heard good things about Seasonic. Don't get a cheap PSU, you will regret it later.

So, should I finally go for it?

rolli59 :

Do I have to check it's compatibility with other parts?
(I am a complete amateur at these cases.)
Like whether it will fit in my case, or will it be compatible with my HDD, with the processor, with the motherboard etc.

rolli59 · Apr 21, 2014

No it is fine for your rig!

bl4ckst0rm :

It is compatible with your build.
