Best PSU For This Build

LegendOfLich-1382235 · Apr 22, 2014

Whats the bare minimum psu (lowest safest best wattage) for this build. Id also like links to good power supplies too. No CX, because I heard they are terrible and wont last forever. My psu budget is 60$.

AMD 8150 3.6
Corsair Ram @ 1866Mhz (4 x 4)
GA FXA990 UD3
GTX 750 Ti EVGA SC
24x Dvd Writer
1.25tb HDD
250gb SSD

I was thinking of this psu for this build???

Yup, go for the 550w XFX psu as stated by both above.

numanator :

Would a 500 watt be fine, or not? I have a friend at school that recommends a 500 watt, and I just want to know if I can use a 500 watt for the build.

Yes 500watt is fine the GTX750Ti will run in a system with a modern 300watt unit. The EVGA is a good budget unit and nothing wrong going with it!
