XFX XXX 650W

[prototype18]

Hi guys !

Im building a new pc just decided about it

CPU : I3-2120
Ram : Xms3 2x2Gb 1600Mhz
Case : Elite CM 430
Mobo : Indecided betwen Asrock E3G3 and P8Z68-V/Gen3
GPU : Gtx 550 TI (after 6 months)
Psu : XFX XXX 650 W (do i need so much power ? or a XFX Pro 550W ; CX 430 V2 are more than enough ? )
Hdd: Seagate 7200rpm 500GB
DVD : Asus 22x

So any advice ? Thank you

The XFX 650w will be more than enough power, will you be running Windows 32bit or 64bit ?

64 Bit FTW

For a system using a single GeForce GTX 550 Ti graphics card NVIDIA specifies a minimum of a 400 Watt or greater power supply that has a combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 24 Amps or greater and that has at least one 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connector.

Total Power Supply Wattage is NOT a crucial factor in power supply selection!!! Total Continuous Amperage Available on the +12V Rail(s) is the most important.

64 Bit FTW

Then with the minimal cost of RAM these days strongly consider upgrading your capacity to 2 x 4gb sticks.

Ouch where do you live with such bad prices ?

 

[Uther39]

And in that case just buy 2 lots of your 2 x 2gb kits for 42 euros.

A quality 400W with 1 6-pin connector would be enough.

Go with the 430...
