n the budget is 1.5k,is this enough??(im on a tight budget gonna buy a headset and a usb sound card....)

that PSU is sufficient but if you want to upgrade PSU, consider raising your budget to at least 2.3k only then will you find something worth considering.

That psu can handle your config .If you want to upgrade the psu they go for Corsair Cx 430 v2 for 2.3 k(as it is available in plenty),or Fsp saga 400 watt for 2k.

^^ better would be Corsair VS450 @ 2.1k and I think Op should get a new PSU even if he don't OC or is not goig to change anything - seriously a a 250W generic PSu is just too weak for a quad core cpu along with a entry level gpu - so if OP wants to keep his system safe in the long run he bettr get a new PSU.

better go for corsair CX430V2.. it has 3 year warranty..

Psu is the heart of any system, never ignore it. always spend enough money for a good psu.

 

[masterkd]

I think you should change the PSU..better safe than generic ones..VS450 is new and not available everywhere..get one if you find it or go for CX430V2..have enough juice for your system.
