Which PSU should i buy for a GTX 660

Ujjwal Krishna · Apr 30, 2014

I wanted to upgrade to a GTX 660 (non-TI).But for that first I need a decent PSU.Could you please suggest me one.
My Specs:
Intel i5-2310
Intel DHW61WW
8 GB Ram
1TB HDD
(And I don't want to overclock anything)

your budget?

cst1992 · Apr 30, 2014

Which existing PSU do you have?
If your computer is new, you may want to further upgrade from the 660. Are you considering a further upgrade?
Also, what's your budget? State in your local currency.
Also, what case do you have? If you have a very restrictive case, then it may get hot, as a graphics card runs hot. And you don't want a case running hot from the inside.

My Budget is about 35 - 50 dollar (2000 to 3000 Rs)

If you want to spend $90, this one of the best options; Corsair CSM Series CS550M 550W, 80+ GOLD and ultra-high efficiency.

If your budget is under $70, get the Corsair CX 600;

I want one below $55

Ujjwal Krishna :

please ignore my above post due to not seeing this message prior.

$35-50 is a very low budget for a power supply, But this would be your best option for $49.99; Corsair CX 500, look for that where you live.

What about my other questions?

What about Cool Master Thunder 500w , it costs around the same

I don't need further upgrade and my CPU case is good

Ujjwal Krishna :

thunder is not as high quality as the CX 500, Cooler master are known to make ok Quality psu's but corsair make much better, though the CX is Corsair entry level, it has 3 years warranty alongside for reassurance.

For GTX 660 a 450w psu is recommended. this one is a decent one and more than enough for your system plus overclocking!

hmm you're probably from india. this is a normal quality unit and will power your build with no problem.

ModernWarfare :

CX is good enough, it may not be great quality but it'll do the job.

chris987 · Apr 30, 2014

xfx is better but evga isnt poor quality, it is a decent unit and here is a review evga500b anyway from flipkart here is a psu i would choose over the cx corsair. ANTEC VP450

Ujjwal Krishna · May 1, 2014

ModernWarfare :

So should I go for the cx450 or the cx 500 psu.I can afford both.

unknownofprob · May 1, 2014

CX 500, always best to have more watt headroom, a much better choice.
