Which Power Supply For This Rig

Sparky862 · Jul 27, 2014

Hay guys, here is my specs on my pc, i just want to know what power supply to get for my rig?? How many watt power supply do you think??

I got....

GTX 770 4gig
I7 3770k
H77M Gigabyte Mobo
8GIG Ram DDR3
2 x 140mm Fans
1 x 160mm Fan
2 x 120mm Fans
1 x 500gig Sata HD
1 x 1TB Sata HD

At the moment i got a 600watt power supply, and i think that my power supply is not enough to pull all that components....what do you guys think??

Eduello · Jul 27, 2014

Depends on the exact model of your power supply. 600W is fine if the quality is decent.

thats is what power supply i am using....

the reason why i say i think my power supply is under power is because of the simple fact that if i play need for speed most wanted 20102, my pc just shuts down for like 3seconds, then restarts back up....now i know this game cannot overpower my pc as i play games far more better on full blast graphics than need for speed most wanted 2012 with my gpu temps only reaching 70c.....so something else is wrong then, how come only this game gives me shit and not the rest of high end games

Yeah, you were right; That thing is not meant for gaming rigs.
Here's what I'd get from that site: http://www.comx-computers.co.za/SS-620GM-Seasonic-M12II-620W-Power-Supply-Buy-p-85860.php

But that psu is only 20watt more than mine??

Eduello · Jul 27, 2014

Yes, but the quality is immeasurably higher.

Sparky862 · Jul 27, 2014

you think that quiality plays a role?? i mean 600watt is 600watt no mater the brand??

Eduello · Jul 27, 2014

Quality plays a bigger role than wattage in most cases; A bad quality unit with 800W will often provide less power on the 12V rail than a high quality 600W unit, and that power will also be unstable and sometimes even outside of the allowed standards.

Sparky862 · Jul 27, 2014

oky, i see where your going with this....so do you think 620watt would be enough for my pc??? what bout in the future if i should add a extra hdd or something like that?? i dont plan on sli or crossfire on my rig or put in cooling system.....what i do plan on adding is extra 2 x 140mm fans and perhaps one more hdd like a 2TB SATA also plan on upgrading my mobo to the Z77...and also, if i plan to upgrade my GPU to a more powerfull unit, will 620watt still be enough??

also, how does this psu compare to the one you send me
http://www.takealot.com/corsair-vs-series-vs650-650w-power-supply-unit/PLID32714169

Or this one
http://www.takealot.com/antec-neo-eco-620w-psu/PLID29396189

But i still dont get the fact that why would need for speed most wanted 2012 only give me issues like this and not any other high end graphical game??

Eduello · Jul 27, 2014

Yes, 620W will be enough even after all that.

Eduello · Jul 27, 2014

That Antec unit is decent, but that Corsair unit is bad, don't get it.

Sparky862 · Jul 27, 2014

Eduello :

How decent is thi Antec compared to your Seasonic?? Cause i dont want to buy crap as im full of fuss when it comes to my pc....i only want quality lol

Eduello · Jul 27, 2014

Well the Seasonic is still above the Antec, so get the Seasonic unit since the price difference isn't that huge.

Sparky862 · Jul 27, 2014

oky, so do you perhaps no the reason why its only nfs most wanted 2012 that gives me this restart issue and not other games i play thats more high end?? I mean why dont they also give me the restart issue?? Shouldnt i perhaps up my ram from 8gig to 16gig??

Eduello · Jul 27, 2014

It's probably a bug in the game, or then you've got a memory leak issue.

Sparky862 · Jul 27, 2014

memory leak issue??

Eduello · Jul 27, 2014

Monitor your memory usage while playing NFS and see if it uses up all of your memory.

Sparky862 · Jul 27, 2014

where am i gonna view thath? in my task manager?

Sparky862 · Jul 27, 2014

and lets say i do have a memory leak, how do i fix it??

Eduello · Jul 27, 2014

Yes.

Sparky862 · Jul 27, 2014

Eduello :

so how do i fix this memory leak issue if that is the case?? Cause the memory leak could be the app itself and not my system self

Eduello · Jul 27, 2014

Just try to see what happens with yourr memory usage when you play nfs.

Sparky862 · Jul 27, 2014

it appears i got no mem leak issue........the memory go up and down with max reaching 905 000K.....wait...now it says 926 000k??? it appears that my memory keeps on climbing but does not stop???? so its a mem leak......for f*uck sakes.......this is a retail copy, how can it be buggy??

Eduello · Jul 27, 2014

How high does it climb? It needs to use up all of your memory to cause a crash.

Sparky862 · Jul 27, 2014

well its now 941 000 and still climbing.....but now if it was a mem leak, it will only cause the app to crash to my desktop and not restart my whole pc right???
