Which PSU should I buy for my budget pc build.

Shean93 · Mar 18, 2017

My pc spec:

Mobo: Gigabyte GA H270 Gaming 3
CPU: Intel Pentium G4560
Ram: 8gb DDR3 1333MHZ
GPU: Gigabyte Geforce GTX1050TI 4gb
SSD: Kingston 120gb
HDD: WD 360gb
Casing: Segotep Lux

My budget for PSU is around usd70-80. Is it possible if I use Corsair CX 650M? I might upgrade to GTX1080TI maybe in the future, want to ask if this PSU able to carry GTX1080TI.

*Sorry if there is any grammatical error.

The CXM would be sufficient for the 1080 ti however the PSU that superninja12 suggested is a excellent model.

On a side note I would highly recommend upgrading the CPU to a i5-7500 at the very least as it will work better with that 1080 ti then the Pentium.

a 1080Ti with a Pentium?

better to get a 1080 + an i5

if you wanna save a few bucks without sacrificing quality

however the CXM650 would be sufficient as well.

Another thing I just noticed is why are you using DDR3 with a H270 motherboard? I'm pretty sure that can cause damage to the CPU over time.

WildCard999 :

Actually I'm going to upgrade the gigabyte mobo soon, just havent collect enough money to buy yet. Noted, I should buy ddr4 type RAM then.

This is my current spec
Mobo Asus M5A7BL LE
