I recommended him 400W. If he plans to OC, then he can raise it to 550W. Even if the power requirement is minimal (per say 250-300W) they quality of the PSU should be the best. Also the link you gave for CM E series, those are tick-tock bombs. I have read many experiences of those PSUs failing, propagating problems to the motherboard and killing components.

^^ u talking about OC to a guy who done one of best OC out here at TDF. running two power hungry & uber powerful cards in crossfire & have lots & lots of peripherals attached to his cpu. all he using is a Corsair 650W to power his entire rig.

all OP needs is a good 80% certified 400W unit. not 500-600W unit. once OC the rig will consume more power but not 550W or so. he can go ahead with FSP Saga II 400W. if decide OC, than FSP 450W or Corsair CX400W or Seasonic 380W. also if OP continue use his present crap power unit, in future he better think about getting a new rig, not only a new PSU.

Hey please all of you :arrow: why are you pointing at the prices, i gave it to see the product models. I suggest you instead of debating on prices why don't you Discuss for product's . Well I'm pretty sure none of would like to buy from any website. but would prefer to go and buy themselves from their home city stores. isn't it !

It will be great that we all find the best one out in this discussion about the PSU. :?:

"Even god was not able to make perfect humans then how can these manufactures design products"


good luck!:p

Ok, what is the best one, as per you. Let us hear it. Please.

The general rule of thumb is a high quality 500 to 550 watt power supply with sufficient current (amps) on the +12 volt rail(s) can easily power a system with any single video card made. A high quality 700 to 750 watt power supply with sufficient current (amps) on the +12 volt rail(s) can power a system with two video cards operating in dual mode. There are a few exceptions like the new ATI Radeon HD 5XXX series cards which use less power unless OC ,due to their energy efficiency.

A high quality 500 to 550 watt psu will have a +12 volt rail rated at 40 amps. A high quality 700 to 750 watt psu will have a +12 volt rail rated at 60 amps.

In addition the power supply should be at least 80+ Bronze certified for energy efficiency. There are some models available which have achieved 80+ Silver and 80+ Gold Certifications.

Before purchasing a new psu you will need to decide whether you will eventually have a pc with one or two video cards.

Well.....as I said before if you are on minimum budget go for Gigabyte one or FSP Saga II one that I've mentioned or if you can up your budget go for Corsair VX450 @ 3.8k(It's a gr8 PSU). Anyone of the avobe mentioned PSU will be enough for you considering a updgrade of couple of HDD's.

Dump your Zebby PSU. It's a crap as said by lots of members. And lastly about CM, its Extreme Power series are just sh*t. Can't say about other series. But Real Power series is good.

Why do most mATX boards having PCI and PCIe slots arranged closely? If we put 1 good graphic card we will lose 1 PCI slot.My current one, E51, All biostar 785G boards except TA785GM3 HD are like this.E53 is good but cant afford it.Boards having PCIe x 1 in between PCIe x 16 and PCI slots have enough space to contain a good graphic card.
My 9500GT was ok.But HD 5670 with arctic cooling wont fit in small space.

Is there any cheap solution to increase the no of PCI slots?

what huntluck suggested is, Zebronics Platinum 550W for OP. which is crap. and cost 2.5k or so. we all tried correct him. next he jumped from a desi crap to an internationally famous PSU. Corsair VX550W. costing ~2X more than previous recommendation. now u tell what can we do of it? he just giving any recommendation he feels good without looking at necessary wattage nor at OP's budget.

Ok all , lets ease off the new poster :) . After all he's new here so lets all help the op out. What I think Huntluck is saying is that to go for Zebronics and iBall if you are very tight on budget it could be his own opinion though and he might have had a good experience . And if you have a good amount go for the Corsair SMPS if money isn't a concern .

On the contrary, my belief is both the above SMPS is sub par and you should sink money in a good SMPS rather than lose money on that nice 5670 and the rest of your computer parts. I had a thread and I was recommended a regular Coolermaster which I got from 2.2k I think. And like Sam said to me, you can probably keep the SMPS for a future upgrade as long as you buy a good one.

The Moderators do try to reach out to every thread possible but after all we are human too. You shouldn't take much offence in this though. Right now you were up against some of the most Hardcore Hardware Experts in the forum. Take a look at some of the overclocking performed here, not to mention there was a person who ran Liquid Nitrogen Cooling, Modders who would make Mechanic Shop owners look like idiots etc. My recommendation is try to take it in good faith and learn from it. After all that is why we all are at the forums in the first place right ?
