fx-6300 and r7 260x psu

uldo1 · Jul 7, 2014

okay so i got a build that i want, and i have a question: will the Corsair Builder Series CX430 bronze be enough for the fx-6300 and r7 260x ?

tiny voices · Jul 7, 2014

Yes, but that PSU is not great quality. I recommend an XFX450 or an Antec VP-450. Both are vastly superior.

Yes, it'll be enough, but I wouldn't recommend that particular unit; It uses poor quality capacitors that may cause issues in the future.

Any 450W (or more) unit from XFX, Seasonic, Antec (HCG(M) series), or Corsair (AX, TX, and HX series) should do.

Eduello :

Actually, the HCG non-modular units are the same or better quality than the modular units form the same series as they are Delta built which some argue is better than Seasonic.

The Antec VP-450 is also a great option. Cheap and very high quality.

Yes, the VP is good for the price. I know the non-modular HCG units are also very good, that's why I put () around the M.

Ahh, I thought you were trying to specify only the M series. My bad.

will CORSAIR V-series VS450 be good ? i live in latvia, no good tech shops here :/

Eduello · Jul 7, 2014

It's actually a bit worse than the CX series due to the lower efficiency.

tiny voices · Jul 7, 2014

Yes, I would not recommend it.

uldo1 · Jul 7, 2014

i assume fortron isnt a good brand,because i see some forton psu's i that adress

tiny voices · Jul 7, 2014

No, they are pretty awful.

uldo1 · Jul 7, 2014

what about thermaltake or deepcool

tiny voices · Jul 7, 2014

No, I would stay away form both.

uldo1 · Jul 7, 2014

what about a corsair cx 500?

Eduello · Jul 7, 2014

uldo1 :

It's poor as well, the Antec VP-450 should do as mentioned previously by tiny voices.

tiny voices · Jul 7, 2014

No, the CX units from corsair are not good. They use junk capacitors.

uldo1 · Jul 7, 2014

yeah well the problem here is that i take all of my parts from 1 adress and ,if i take all of them from 1 adress they put the pc together for free, and that adress hasnt got any good psu's,btw that adress is one of 3 in my country that is reliable, any ideas ?

tiny voices · Jul 7, 2014

I would do whatever it takes to get a good PSU. Even if that means building the computer yourself. The PSU is 10000% the single most important part and the LAST place to EVER cheap out.

tiny voices :

ok one last questin is the corsair CS or RM series 450w psu good, cuz those are the onlyones

tiny voices · Jul 7, 2014

The use the same junk capacitors as the CX units do, I guess they are alright. I would probably go with the CS if someone put a gun to my head and made me buy one.

Can you link to the website so I can have a look at the options?

Get the RM450. Just did some research and it is your best bet for sure.
