Best cheap (£25) PSU for r9 280 and fx6300

Ben Hampton · Sep 9, 2014

Need to find a cheap PSU, as my current one won't cut it with my new card. I am short for cash, so around the 25 pound ($40) mark would be great.

Any help appreciated.

Scrounging up an extra wee bit of cash is almost always worth it. A good psu will last you for like ten years through multiple upgrades.
Bad things can happen with "cheap" psu's.

There may be some sales/rebates/clearances you can take advantage of. I am sure some others can offer suggestions close to your budget.

You won't get a power supply to run a R9 280 for that little. At least $60 if not more. In a test system the 280 used about 300 watts so you'd want a 500+ watt PSU to account for overhead and loss due to temperature. Keep in mind that many manufacturers stick power ratings almost at random on their stuff, if you find a 500 watt power supply for $40 be sure to check several sources for reviews of it. But I'd stick to those over $50-60 to make sure you don't kill your system. Why take a chance with $400 worth of video card, motherboard and CPU because you did not want to spend another $20 on a power supply.

Any of these should do well for you http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007657 50002177 4026 4025 600479294 50001402 50001516 50001669 50001697&IsNodeId=1&Order=RATING&Pagesize=20
