will any of these PSU work with asus m4a77 motherboard?
Hey, i bought a GTX 750 ti and learned that my 500w psu won't work with it. sends 18amps on the 12v rails when the card needs 20amps. so i just have to buy a new PSU.

The ones that are in my budget are
EVGA 430W, 80+ Bronze can't find the amps on 12v rails the site i would order this from don't specify that
Corsair CX 430W 80+ Bronze same site won't give the amps on 12v rails but a diffrent site tells it gives 32amps on 12v rails

Found another one a EVGA 500w 80 plus that sends 40amps on the 12v rails and it's 5 pound cheaper then the other EVGA,
is it a large diffrent between plus bronze and just plus? i know it has to do with power usage and thats good for me though im living on a tight budget.

There was on asking if the EVGA 430w would work with a gtx 750 ti and they say it does,

But will any of these work with my motherboard? asus M4A77.

Im leaning towards the corsair on since its in stock so i can have it on thuesday if i order it this weekend, while the EVGA has been ordered but been delayed so can take a while until i get it. but it is about 2 pound cheaper then the corsair one.

If you order the 500w EVGA make sure it's the 500B version , it's the better unit.

the EVGA ill buy in store when i go to the big city in 2 weeks, but the other 2 i can order. ( i can order the EVGA 500w aswell but it's 5 pound in shipping) But will the EVGA 500w last alot longer then the other two? in terms of upgrading, i i've had my PSU for 11 years as of this year. if so then ill probably wait 2 weeks and get that one.

If you can get the evga 500w one, then do so. If not the cx430 will be fine since you want to quicker.

80plus is rated to be about 2-5% less efficient than 80plus bronze, which basically means that you'll be using 2-5% less electricity from the wall (and on your electric bill) to power the same system.
