So , I want to buy a new PSU since the current one is having a really hard time trying to power up my current system . I have a Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.00 GHz not overclocked , a GT 730 gigabyte 2GB DDR5 not overclocked and 3 gb of DDR2 RAM . A PSU calculator says I need a PSU with Recommended UPS rating: 500 VA and Recommended PSU Wattage: 275 W,my current PSU does not meet those specifications. I searched on some sites and found a nJoy Ayrus 500, 500W at around 40$ and wanted to buy but I am not sure that it is compatible with the motherboard the hard disk . The PSU has those specs :
Connectors :
20+4 Pin ATX 1
4+4 Pin ATX/EPS 1
6+2 PCI-E 1
SATA 4
Molex 2
Wattage :
Rail +12V 2
+3.3V 15 A
+5V 13 A
+12V 1 16 A
+12V 2 14 A
-12V 0.3 A
+5Vsb 2.1 A
I believe my motherboard needs a 24 pin and a 4 pin connector for the CPU's connector , I don't know what it is acutally called. So , does a 20+4 fit in a 24? And can I use a 4+4 pin in a 4 pin? Also , my HDD is a SATA 2 , does this PSU have the right connectors for a SATA 2 HDD?
 
Solution
The 20+4 pin will plug straight into the 24 pin motherboard connection. As far as the 4+4 cpu connection just use one of the 4 pins (which ever one fits as they are shaped differently).
I can't say I have heard of the nJoy brand before so I can't exactly comment on the possible quality of their products. Any particular reason you are choosing them over a more reputable manufacturer? Where exactly are you going to be buying from?

I'm from Romania and I'm buying them from a site , Pc garage wich has quite a fast delivery in here. I'm not chosing this one for a specific reason , I just saw it and the wattage was quite high and the prince was acceptable , if you have any PSU recommandation I'd be more than happy to hear it, I want something that will still provide enough power in case I upgrade my CPU to an i5 or an i3
 
When it comes to power supplies you can't go past Seasonic-probably one of the best, if not the best, PSU manufacturers. Other great brands include Corsair (dependent on which model) and EVGA. I don't exactly speak romanian so I had trouble navigating the pc-garage website but they did have some Seasonic models-maybe you can pick one up for a decent deal. There was a sticky PSU tier list here on Tom's but I can't seem to find it. Best advice I can give you is pick a model you like and look up reviews, especially from Jonnyguru, and make an informed decision from there.

A PSU is one of those parts that doesn't really get the attention it deserves but trust me when I say you don't want to cheap out on it. If a crappy model decides to go it can take the rest of your system with it.

Thanks a lot , I'll search for a Seasonic PSU . I have only one more question , can you replay to what I asked in the topic in the first place? Is a 20+4 pin compatible with a 24 pin slot and a 4+4 pin compatible with a 4pin slot?
