[Fagen]

I need a PSU. This is my system:

Mobo: MSI 790GX G65
CPU: Phenom IIx4 @ 3.4 GHz
RAM: Apacer DDR3 1333Mhz 2x2GB
Graphics: MSI R6870 Afterburner
HDD: WD Caviar Black 1TB
OD: LG Blu-Ray/DVD-RW

What is the cheapest PSU you suggest?

Thanks alot man. Will 500W be enough?

Yep, less than 300w draw on an X58 setup.

Will a Proline 500W PSU be good enough?

I wouldn't use it to power my toothbrush.

If you hadn't said cheapest I would have said one of these two but the builder is fine and really cheap.

The OCZ is modular with 3 yr cover and the Corsair has 5 yr cover, the builder series only has 2 yr cover.

The IP-S500AQ3 Proline 500W Power Supply is actually made by IN WIN known more for their cheap computer cases.

It has two +12 Volt rails with each rail rated at 17 Amps individually or 28.3 Amps combined.

This power supply has only one 6-Pin PCI-E Power Connector.

Your Radeon HD 6870 graphics card will draw a maximum of 14.1 Amps under full load. This graphics card also has two 75 Watt 6-pin PCI Express power connectors that must be used to evenly distribute the DC current draw.

That Proline 500W Power Supply doesn't even meet AMD's recommendation of a power supply with two 75W 6-pin PCI Express power connectors for your HD 6870 graphics card.

Will a Thermaltake 500W with dual 12V rail (36A combined) PSU be good enough?

 

[Fagen]

What is the minimum Amps per rail that can handle my system?

Is there a reason why you don't buy one of the psu's recommended to you.

You keep coming back with sub standard options??

Corsair, Seasonic, XFX, OCZ a decent branded 500w will be plenty for your setup.
