I'm probably going to overclock my CPU and i'm not completely sure that the PSU I have would be sufficient enough. If the one I currently have is not good enough can you guys suggest one that would be for under 50$?

Well that Cx 430V2 is great and it will handle the OC but if u can change to Antec Vp450 as it is a better PSU.

On the 12 V rail Antec has more W so it is safer than Cx 430.

Gpu 80W
Cpu 125W
Hdd 15W
Dvd 25W
Ram 16W

=261W

So even with OC u will be safe

If you could throw in the extra $10 then you could get a Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus 600Watt power supply. I'm no cooler master fanboy, but you can also get a Thermaltake PSU for I think $5 less, but I really thing Cooler Master is worth it


I cant believe what i read. Crapmaster dsnt make PSU (except silent M ) and thermaltalke either.
