AMD R7 250 1GB GDDR5 on a Zebronic 450 Watt PSU

Keysky · Oct 3, 2014

Hi people!
I currently have a nvidia geforce 210, and I am planning to buy a R7 250 1 GB GDDR5 GPU..
My Mobo is DG41WV which has a PCIe x16 slot
a core 2 Duo E7500 2.93 GHz CPU
My only problem is my PSU
a FREAKING Zebronics 450 Watt
here is its power stuff

Please tell me, will my PSU handle it! Please help!

15A on 12V line is not 450W, that's just too poor quality. The card itself eats up 5.5A of power, and 9A is not really enough for the system. You need to get a better PSU, like EVGA 430W or Antec EA 380W.

Zebronics PSU's are absolute trash.
As guys here say, it's a "PSU shaped metal tin".
Get a decent Corsair, Seasonic, or Antec.
Corsair CX430 is not very good, but should be okay with your system. I'm using that one, and runs fine.

Sadly, no.

MeteorsRaining :

Tell me whether my PSU will handle or not, i mean I have a tight budget.. so i can't get both GPU and a PSU at the same time..

MeteorsRaining · Oct 3, 2014

As mentioned earlier, no.

So are there any other GPU which can help me play games while my PSU can handle it?

Unfortunately, we can't tell you what you want to hear.
Me saying "yes it'll work" is not going to stop it blowing up when you install the GPU.
Sorry, but can't do it.

Keysky · Oct 3, 2014

LOL, why don't someone sue Zebronics xD

Keysky · Oct 3, 2014

Is there any other GPU which can run on this PSU? I mean a decent GPU than a 210..?

MeteorsRaining · Oct 3, 2014

Something like R5 230 or GT 620, but that really won't help in gaming. My advise is to get a decent PSU now and a GPU later.

Keysky · Oct 3, 2014

is Corsair VS450 450 Watt PSU a good PSU ???

MeteorsRaining · Oct 3, 2014

If you're planning to upgrade the PSU as well as GPU, then yes it'd do. But if you're taking my advise and getting only a PSU, then no, there are better options in the market.

cst1992 · Oct 3, 2014

Get a CX430 instead of the VS. VS is also a bad PSU.

Keysky · Oct 3, 2014

ok! CX430 it is... Now a decent and a cheap GPU for gaming?

cst1992 · Oct 3, 2014

You could go with a r7 250 as you said, or a GTX 650, upto a GTX 750 or 750Ti.
The 650 should be enough for a core 2 duo. More than enough in fact.

MeteorsRaining · Oct 3, 2014

You shouldn't go below R7 240.

Keysky · Oct 3, 2014

Man, just think me as a poor guy... That's what I am.. I live in india so, 3000RS for that PSU (around 50USD) and my budget is around 7000RS(around 107USD) So, xD .. u can understand how much problems I am having xD

MeteorsRaining · Oct 3, 2014

I'm Indian too

For GPU, atleast this:

Keysky · Oct 3, 2014

GT630? IDK, i haven't heard anythng glorious about this GPU xD

cst1992 · Oct 3, 2014

The 730 is better than the 630. It's even a GDDR5 GPU.
I'm Indian as well.

Keysky · Oct 3, 2014

i know, but 730 isn't been sold by the WS retailer in Flipkart xD the seller is known to have sent broken things.. so.. highly untrustworthy xD

Keysky · Oct 3, 2014

should I go for this? http://www.flipkart.com/galaxy-nvidia-geforce-gt-730-gc-1-gb-ddr5-graphics-card/p/itmdxdafhfhhwp7t?pid=GRCDXDAFFEFYRH9R&otracker=from-search&srno=t_1&query=gt+730&ref=c0ef86e8-629d-49ff-a563-86aebf0d7a34
