[eduardo96]

is this psu (http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/Product.aspx?C=1247&ID=2057) powerful enough to handle a gtx 670 FTW edition? i'd really apreciate your help.!

 

[eduardo96]

Thanks for your answer! do you knoe any other psu? Good for that task?

really psu recommendation depends on how much your willing to spend, and what you plan to do with your build.

Any 500w and up power supply from Corsair, Seasonic, PC Power and Cooling, XFX, Silverstone, Enermax, OCZ or Antec will run your system fine and give you a quality power supply. As said above avoid Thermaltake especially the TR2 model as it's one of the worst power supplies you can buy and it's overpriced to boot.

Here are some models to consider.

At $59 with no rebates to fool with the Seasonic M12 is an amazing deal. It's fully modular as well.

This are the specs of the pc im trying to build
Amd fx 4100 3.6ghz
Motherboard asus m5a97 evo
Normal cd/dvd unit
500gb western digital caviar blue
8gb. Corsair vengeance 1600 mhz
2 fans 140mm/120mm

gtx 670 ftw edition (single card)

Thats what im planning, will that psu power up that build?

the real problem is that i live in venezuela, and there are few psu brands that u can choose, and few models, and another psu are really really expensive and overpriced in here, and probably you wont find it here

Yes, as I said any quality 500w and up PSU will run that build fine.

If you can try to stick with the brands I listed above. There are other brands that have quality units too but the brands I listed above don't have any bad models.

the problem is that the first step in computer building is what you were going to put into the computer. like what i do say to other people, the PSU is like the human heart, its an essential part of the body. there's no point in having a athletic body(strong hardware) if your psu cant live up to its athleticism.

the only reason why im questioning this statement is you can afford a high end gpu, and a high end mobo for an amd platform, but you want to cut corners off the psu. cutting corners off psu isnt the way to go, as if your psu goes down, anything else can go down with it. and you probably dont want to lose your gtx 670 to the psu, because you would be almost down the drain 500$ usd from that.

Is there a website you are buyng from you can send a link to? I can take a look and see what they have that's decent.

i have a new choice, i've been looking in the internet, and i was wondering if corsair tx 650w is a good psu, will last long that psu?

Yes it is a very good power supply and will work very well with your computer. It's more power than you need so if the 550TX version is available to you get it. If not then the 650TX is a great model and is fine, it will not hurt anything having too much and you will always have room for future upgrades.
