Hello,
My question is: Will the PSU I've selected be okay for my needs? (details described below)
I'm trying to create a quiet system to be used in a 27 square meter (290 square feet) apartment that I share with my girlfriend. Emphasis: The system must be quiet; we live in one small room. Also, I'm trying to keep the cost low.
My assumption is that if I have a low wattage system with a case with good airflow and large fans (140mm-200mm), then the machine will be very quiet.
The components I'm considering:
CPU: AMD A6-3500 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1148867&CatId=7238
Mobo: Asus F1A75-M http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=780230&CatId=7243
PSU: Corsair CMPSU-430 CXV2 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=422169
Case: Cooler Master HAF912 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6531504&CatId=1509
Additionally, I'll likely be using 4GB of RAM and a 7200 RPM 3.5" HDD. No optical drive. No graphics card.
Using the PSU Wattage Calculator from Newegg ( http://images10.newegg.com/BizIntell/tool/psucalc/index.html ), it seems that my system doesn't need a high wattage power supply (less than 200W).
To reiterate, will the PSU I've selected be okay for my needs? Or should I consider the 650W version of the Corsair PSU?
Thank you.
