Cheap PSU for FX-8350 & HD7870xt

Ervinas · Oct 12, 2015

Hey guys.
I'm building a new computer, and the PSU on it is an ATX 500b, but that isn't powerful enough to power my CPU and GPU.
I don't have much budget left but I really need a good PSU. I'm not going to OC at all.
Thank you.

Where are you from and how much budget you have left?

Ervinas · Oct 12, 2015

Sapphire Thunder :

I'm from the UK.
But the budget is unknown, maybe below £50.

If you can stretch the budget a bit, then you could get this one:

Sapphire Thunder :

Nope, I can't

Do you think that the one that I have right now will be able to power it?

Absolutely no. That is an horrible, unknown brand PSU.

This is the least you should get. Even this you should change to a better one once you can. It is just an temporary solution.

Sapphire Thunder :

Welp. I've got no money whatsoever. I'll have to try to save up then. Thanks for the recommendation.

Sapphire Thunder :

Is that really the lowest PSU you can get? :/

ko888 :

Anything less than £50?
I'm on a REALLY tight budget.

Ervinas · Oct 12, 2015

Anything? bump

ko888 · Oct 12, 2015

Ervinas :

Is £42.35 not less than £50?

ko888 :

I said maybe. I need the cheapest PSU that can run an FX-8350 and a HD7870xt. As I said, I'm on a really tight budget. Really tight.

What's the brand and model of the Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition (Pitcairn XT GPU) card? They don't all draw the same amount of power.

SAPPHIRE ATI AMD Radeon HD 7870XT 2GB with Boost

Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 XT (Tahiti LE) 2GB with Boost Overclocked Video Card Review - Power Consumption Test

Ervinas · Oct 12, 2015

I'll include that in my list.

ko888 · Oct 12, 2015

Exactly the one I recommended but the OP now says the budget is even tighter than that. Although the real budget limit has never been revised by the OP.

Dark Lord of Tech · Oct 12, 2015

I deleted mine , after I saw yours , any cheaper and your buying something poor.

Ervinas · Oct 12, 2015

My budget is really tight, I just wanted a list of PSUs that I could possibly afford with the limited amount of money I have.

Dark Lord of Tech · Oct 12, 2015

We suggest quality with a good price , you go any cheaper you put your components at risk.

ko888 · Oct 12, 2015

Ervinas :

That Radeon HD 7870 Boost Edition card uses the Tahiti LE GPU. It draws more power than the Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition (Pitcairn XT GPU) cards.

Ervinas · Oct 12, 2015

I can't change my budget, it's fixed.

Dark Lord of Tech · Oct 12, 2015

Everyone here has offered up safe well built power supplies , you go any cheaper it's risky.

As a forum with standards we want the best for your situation.
