PSU Requirements - Athlon II X4 750K + GTX 650 Ti

[Nilo Nilo]

Hi
I would like to know if these two PSUs are suitable for my build, or if I require a higher power PSU:
XFX Core Edition 450W
Corsair CX430 430W

My build is:
Seagate Pipeline HD 2 500GB
AMD Athlon II X4 750K
Palit GTX 650Ti
Crucial Ballistix Tactical 2x2GB

Thank you

Looks like both would comfortably do you. The XFX psu seems the better choice. You can mess around on this psu calculator and try out different specs.

XFX is better than the Bulder Series Corsairs. Another good unit is the Antec VP series, that one is my favorite low powered unit. They are very cheap, but still have an 83% efficiency rating.

Would a modular version of the CX430 be ok? I would prefer modular for easier cable management. Also, can I comfortably remain within the 400-450W range or should I increase to be able to support more hard drives or other items? Thanks

Your fine for as many hard drives as you'd want with a 650ti. The modular version of the CX is made with better components if that's the way you want to go.
