Best Power Supply under $30

[Multisupermono]

Well, the title says it all.

 

[jemm]

It depends on its wattage.

 

[iixwh3l4nxii]

No

Even if you have to work the corner, find another 30$, it's not worth it

all PSUs under 30$ are going to be complete horse *** and will eventually die and take your expensive components with it

on that note, how important are your components to you and what are you key components? (CPU/GPU, other expensive ***)

Please god to get either

This is the cheapest I'd recommend which is currently $36 after rebate. Although if you look at the price history graph, it will go down to $25 regularly. Horse poop they are not. This is good quality. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-power-supply-cmpsu430cxv2

I can't believe you would even post diablotec or hec. Niether of those can even supply their rated power. At least go with a antec vp 350 or 450 which is $23 and $31 respectively. http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=62871&vpn=VP350&manufacture=Antec

Corsair is good quality, get anything psu from them, just dont get a cheap psu

btw i meant "please god dont get either", i'm pretty tired.

If you do not need more than than 350W, then it is possible to get a decent PSU for around $30

Antec Basiq BP350 350W http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371003

Rosewill RV350 350W http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182006

 

[Multisupermono]

i did want to get the antec vp450, but they are out of stock! It was only $30! this was my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/qftH and i don't know how much power i need.

 

[prototype18]

Antec VP-450 W.

Well you can wait it to come back in stock

http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Antec-VP450-Power-Supply-Review/1487

Golden Award and it can give more than 450W.

This is 36$ and is as good as the antec

 

[bigcyco1]

What are your specs please list them i want to see if your trying to kill your rig is why i ask

 

[bigcyco1]

Never mind i found them

 

[Multisupermono]

How much wattage do i need with my rig? The 350 watt antec ones sound like an awesome deal!

 

[bigcyco1]

I would not recommend it something like this would be fine http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139026
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371033

 

[Multisupermono]

But it's $45! I forgot to mention that i can't use rebate. however i can take my price up to $35 if that makes you feel better.

 

[samuelspark]

Wait for VP450.

 

[runswindows95]

I would save up some more money, and get a reliable PSU, such as the Corsairs or Antecs posted. An extra $10 now can save you hundreds down the road.

 

[bigcyco1]

It has nothing to do with making me feel better if you buy a shitty psu the chances of killing your hardware are high i agree with samuelspark that is as cheap as it gets so i would suggest you save more money.

+1 OP it's not a joke you need to take it seriously!There is no well i only have such and such amount i will spend if that's the case i suggest you not bother with computers.

 

[bignastyid]

When you build a system never skimp on the psu its the most important part of the system. As mentioned previously if you get a psu that can't handle the load it will fail and will take other parts with it.

 

[samuelspark]

Get this RAM:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148540

DDR3 1866 has no speed improvement over DDR3 1600 with Sandy Bridge.

Use the extra money for a better PSU. Preferably the Antec VP450.

Sorry if i made i sound worse then i wanted it to sound I guess i will just wait for the VP450 or take my graphics card down a bit and get the CX430. I seriously do apologize for what i made it sound like.

 

[Multisupermono]

And by the way what is the wattage on my system?

The Corsair V2 Builder is NOT a good PSU, especially if you plan to stress it. It was made by CWT, not Seasonic, using some inferior Samxon capacitors from a line known to fail early. This information comes from HardwareSecrets then onto the badcaps.org forums. Get the Antec VP-450 (built by FSP, another good OEM) or save up for the Delta-built Earthwatts.
