PSU for friend's rig !! Confused by sticky threads.

[a-raam]

i am helping my friend build his rig.
we decided on the base config from PC config thread.
Gpu from Graphic Cards thread.
we were deciding on PSU but after reading sticky threads i am confused about the appropriate PSU.

Our proposed Config:
Intel i3 2120
Sapphire AMD HD 7850 1GB OC GDDR5
4 gb ram

was interested in this PSU .
is it sufficient??

^^^^Mention Your Budget
For that rig Corsair CX430V2 will suffice..

 

[ASHISH65]

Do not get cooler master psu.they are not so good.corsair cx430w at rs 2700 is enough

Good choice, and it is sufficient.
But I would suggest you to get Corsair CX430V2 only because it is available at lower price, 2.5K
Quality of both are almost same. So why will your friend spend more money?

 

[a-raam]

@d6bmg, budget around 3k.
i would need a good cabby too.

Then for <3K CX430V2 is a very good choice.

What is the budget for cabinet?

 

[a-raam]

Oh nothing too flashy.
Just something around 3-4k which should be able to fit a 7850 and should have decent to good ventilation and cooling.
Also if it has front USB 3.0 ports its a perk but not a must-have.

thats awesome @TOPGEAR !!! i guess my problems are sorted.
corsair 430cx psu and nzxt source 210 cabby.

a teeny query:
which mobos does it support??and also if my mobo has usb 3.0 ports and my cabby has usb 2.0 ports and if i connect these 3.0 ports to the 2.0 ports will i get 3.0 speeds??

 

[d6bmg]

That Chassis, i.e. source 210 have front USB3 port with internal header.

what about this for a cabby??
Cooler Master Elite 344 USB 3.0 Cabinet

and also he finally decided to go for a 2gb 7850 so is the psu still enough??

 

[TheLetterD]

A Bitfenix Merc Alpha if he doesnt need something too flashy, a CM Elite 431 if he needs a USB 3
Dont get the Elite 344, its a mini tower, low on space, and hence ventilation.
Get the 344 ONLY if youre short on space.

 

[a-raam]

We arent short of space.We are short of cash we started with a budget of 26k.
i3-2120 + hd 7850 2gb + Corsair 8g RAM + h61 asus mobo + corsair 430cx psu already comes too 29.8k and we arent even thinl about an HDD.:screwy:

Bad chassis in terms of everything.. Avoid it.

@Op i would have suggested the Bitfenix Prodigy but i guess that would exceed your budget.

FYI: That's an ITX chassis.

Cm Elite 344 is a very decent cabby IMO but you must consider that you won't be able to use any motherboard larger than mAtx with this.
