Component wattage over psu's

anurag1801 · Apr 14, 2018

Hey I'm using a HCL Lga775 prebuilt and I don't know if the mobo is standard size as I'm thinking about upgrading to a q6600 and gt 710 but the max psu wattage is 230 watt and cooler master psu calculator says it needs 250 watt. So I have two options either to buy a new case and hope it fits or to use an external psu.

BTW what components will I connect to the new one and which ones to the old

My specs are :
(Current)
Pentium dual core e6 something
2 Sticks of 2 gb ddr 2 667mhz ram
gt 210 1gb ddr3
160 gb hdd 7.2k rpm

(Upgrade)
Q6600
2 2gb ddr2 667mhz ram
Gt 710 2gb ddr3
160 gb hdd 7.2k rpm

Need help in deciding

Rather go with new motherboard rather than sticking to the old one.
How big is your budget?

RememberThe5th :

You're right probably will go with a new mobo with ddr 2 ram so i can reuse mine
Thanks

Well i meant new generation, like 1156,1155,1150 socket. They have pretty cheap motherboard and good CPU's which can handle new games pretty well (Mostly xeons).

Well my budget ain't that big. Tell me if something can be done in about 100 dollars for a cpu ram and mobo combo

Well mostly i agree with you, GPU surley will work as it can draw up to 20W~, thats 2A~ required for GPU (P=U*I),
Q6600 is good CPU,
4GB is enough from my perspective, for few tabs and game,
GT 710 is capable entry level.

Just make sure that your motherboards supports Q6600, ram speed doesnt matter much.

Can you take picture of the motherboard?(Just before you start to buy)

Can i overclock my q6600 with this cooler. If yes to what

RememberThe5th · Apr 17, 2018

Im not familiar with "Zebronics" but one thing for sure that i know its that they buy an license, they overclock the Chipset and sell it, but its waaay cheaper for sure.
Same example would be putting kerosine in 30 year old car. You never know when it will die.

But i think on Ebay is overpriced for some motherboards.

anurag1801 · Apr 17, 2018

So do you recommend against it becoz I wont be using it for long as i'm in 9th grade and wont be able to play any games after 10th until i get a job so don't need too much of reliability and just wanna play Fortnite and jeep the cost low

BTW U didn't say anything about overclocking

RememberThe5th · Apr 17, 2018

No, im saying that because i know what they do, you can run the system stock, i dont know if it can overclock cause its off brand.
