PSU REQUIREMENT

[hitman047]

sir,
am going to buy a pc with spec

core i3 2100
MSI H67MA-E35
4gb ddr3 1333
500 gb hdd sata
samsung dvd RW
nvidia GTS 450 (any brand of GTS 450 is okay )

zebronic psu 400 w platinum


is the psu enough for running the card at full potential?

i ll never overclock until 3-4 yrs !

thank you

how much are you paying for it? I wouldn't pay more than $500 for that.

 

[stingstang]

I've never heard of zebronic, and I can't find any information on it. I would suggest finding a psu from a more reputable company.

 

[Sunius]

And I agree with the poster above. Don't buy zebronics. Go with either of:

Antec, Corsair, Seasonic, OCZ, XFX.

Sunius these PSU are very expensive in india so I do not think that hitman will get those.
400W is the minimum requirement for GTS450 so it should work just fine.

2563 INR ~ $49
Doesn't seem 'so expensive'.

Anyway, I am still wondering how much the OP is paying for that machine. Also, how do you know the OP is from india?

 

[hitman047]

yeah am from india thank u all for replying me.

i was wondering if 400w is completely fine or should i get more ?

@Sunius thanks for the link .. am buying it

 

[Sunius]

400w is completely fine if the power supply is a quality power supply from a quality brand. If the power supply is from shitty brand, however, it could be 1000w but might blow up at any second.
