Hi Aniket25
This will run your 660 & system fine and give you some headroom and is a quality psu with high grade japanese capacitors

EDIT: go with the 660 it is the better card

Rationale · Jun 30, 2014

Either the GTX 750 TI or the GTX 660 are good cards, and it shouldn't matter too much that they're used, since mid-range video cards tend to last a long time.
Get the GTX 660 if you want a little better performance.
Get the GTX 750 TI if you want to be able to use a cheaper power supply unit.

The i5-2400 is still a good CPU, and it'll work well with either a GTX 660 or a GTX 750 TI.

Where are you buying from? I can't really suggest a power supply unless I know what your options are.

I am from India I found add on olx.com .
First I will check that GPU then I will buy.
Shall I go for Gtx 750 Ti new or Gtx 660 5 month old ..

Which is best low budget PSU for Gtx 660

mickypheonix · Jun 30, 2014

i would choose the 660 , you should be fine with that
same psu i suggested in india

Bro as my budget for PSU is max 3000/- Rs..
Will it work on Corsair SMPS CX430

Rationale · Jun 30, 2014

How much does the used 660 cost, and how much does the new 750 TI cost? Are they both about 8500?

Just so you know, buying a used power supply is more risky than buying a used video card.

The GTX 750 TI will work on a CX 430 easily. That could be unsafe for a GTX 660, but it'd be close.
As you can see in my signature, I'm currently using a GTX 660 with a 430w power supply. However, I'm using a lower wattage CPU and a higher quality PSU, so I probably wouldn't risk a GTX 660 on the Corsair CX430.

Aniket25 · Jun 30, 2014

The price of new Gtx 750 Ti in India = 10500/-
N price of Gtx 660 synergy edition = 13500/-
My budget for PSU is 3000/- Rs
(Indian Rupees)

Rationale · Jun 30, 2014

Aniket25 :

For that price difference, I would recommend you get the new GTX 750 TI and the Corsair CX430. It'll be safer, and there won't be too much of a difference in performance.

Aniket25 · Jun 30, 2014

Zotac Gtx 660 synergy edition required only 450w PSU ..

So will it work on that Corsair SMPS CX430

mickypheonix · Jun 30, 2014

given the price difference between the two cards go with the 750ti, the 750ti requires lower wattage to run
so you will get away with this psu fine
http://www.flipkart.com/seasonic-ss400bt-psu/p/itmdfbeqezgmgggf?pid=PSUDFBEPQB2ZCCMS&otracker=from-search&srno=t_3&query=seasonic&ref=f91120d5-840b-483e-a535-72ebd17af1e9
the GeForce GTX 750ti requires a psu with 20A on the +12v rail and a 400W PSU minimum
The Seasonic SS400BT PSU is 400 watts has 30A on the +12v rail and costs Rs. 2475
and has high grade japanese capacitors

Aniket25 · Jun 30, 2014

I am planing to get Gtx 660 plzz suggest good PSU for it .
As I know Gtx 750 Ti will work on my current PSU to as it required max 400w ..

best i can do for a quality psu in india there is very little to choose from with such a low budget

Aniket25 · Jun 30, 2014

What about this http://www.flipkart.com/corsair-vs550-550-watt-psu/p/itmdg36xx8yzgjrs?pid=PSUDG34775NHYDHK&otracker=search&pageNum=1&query=corsair+smps+cx500+500+watts+psu will it work as its 500w

mickypheonix · Jun 30, 2014

it will work but the vs series has low grade capacitors , buy it if you wish but a quality psu with high grade japanese capacitors is a better choice

Rationale · Jun 30, 2014

Aniket25 :

Well, if you insist on the GTX 660, then it's hard to say whether the CX 430 would be enough. I'd guess it probably would be enough, but if it was my PC I wouldn't risk it.

This should be a better option than the CX 430.

mickypheonix · Jun 30, 2014

with a price difference Rs. 3115 for seasonic 500w to Rs. 3450 for Vs550W i would choose the seasonic

Rationale · Jun 30, 2014

mickypheonix :

It's not 3,450 rupees, I'm pretty sure the VS550 is 2,200.

mickypheonix · Jun 30, 2014

Aniket25 · Jun 30, 2014

Any 1 of this will work fine with Gtx 660 synergy edition ..

?

mickypheonix · Jun 30, 2014

Aniket25 :

that is more expensive than the seasonic i suggested
http://www.flipkart.com/seasonic-eco-500-watts-psu/p/itmddqq8dzqzkzdy?pid=PSUDDQPPZZYAGRWT&otracker=from-search&srno=t_9&query=seasonic&ref=8f531e31-85c7-4e22-a8ac-1d5c8decd791
and the same wattage with low grade capacitors
at Rs. 3750

Aniket25 · Jun 30, 2014

K thnx ..
Will go with cx500

mickypheonix · Jun 30, 2014

so you would rather spend more on the cx and get low grade capacitors than the seasonic for less with high grade japanese capcitors
OK ?

Aniket25 · Jun 30, 2014

Bro seasonic is not available in my area.
And that online seller is not delivering that PSU in my area
