Power supply for core i5

[Guest]

Which rating power supply is needed for core i5 build and overclocking to 3.4 ghz?

The processor alone drains hardly any power. we need to know what else is on your system, most importantly the GPU.

I want to build this setup

Core i5 750
Asus P7P55D
HD HIS 5850
320 GB SEGATE HARD DRIVE
4 GB CORSAIR XMS 3

for that, i would recommend a good 550w PSU, such as the corsair vx550.

corsair PSUs are some of the best, high quality and efficient. with an excellent warranty. and a 550w should be plenty for your system.

10 more bucks will give you a 650TX:
