Thanks to everyone who helped me choose the right power supply. My PC configuration now is-
Processor: AMD Athlon II X4 630
Motherboard: Asus M4A785TD-V EVO
RAM: 2x4GB kingston ValueRAM
GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD 6770 1GB DDR5
Cabinet: Zebronics Bijli w/o PSU
PSU: Seasonic S12II 520W Bronze power supply
Monitor: Intex 17 inch (basic work) and for gaming LG 32" LCD TV (HDMI)
Joystick: Logitech Attack 3

Very happy with the Seasonic Unit, almost no noise and the warranty of 5 years was what swayed me towards it.

@topgear Not as of now :mrgreen: speed of the cpu and gpu is enough for the games I am playing right now. Might think about it if fps drops below playable in games I play. Will definitely need some help while OCing though.

Guys, my friend has a iBall 223-400(sounds strange but he says he has this)
He wants to put a 5670 or 6670.
I think it can handle the 5670?


Buy still I have bad feelings about it. Should I tell his PC will fry if he puts that card on?

^^ you are right - that PSu TF's friend has is actually a 250W unit and should not be used for a HD5670 like card - his friend better buy a PSU.

Just create a thread when you are ready to plunge into the world of OC ;-)

Thank You The Sorcerer for taking so much efforts in writting such informative article, mostly people (even i also) was driven by the watts written on smps & cheap smps, as i was thinking if i am getting a 3 years warrenty then product is good quality. but forget to note that if it fails to work as desired & sends improper current (even if it is working - ie. not failed-dead) it will make my other components dead.
once again thnx for being such nice person :clap2:

oh wow...Xenforo!!!

Also, to those who are still recommending VX450 units, please make sure you take a look at specific model/rev number on the packaging as well. But its best if people move on from this unit. There's Seasonic S12II 430/520. Antec has some good units but unsure of the RMA procedue, so do let me know.

Need a PSU within Rs. 6000 for a friend.

AMD Phenom II 955
Compatible motherboard
4 GB DDR3
Cooler Master Elite 430
ATI 4850 (will be getting GTX 560 Ti within a month)
2 x 1 1 TB HDD
1 ODD
Cooler Master Hyper 212

I was thinking of getting Corsair TX 650 V2 for him. But that would be overkill. He wants a PSU that can run his 560 Ti fine & some headroom above in case he goes for AMD or Intel Hexa/Octa cores..

A GTX 560Ti can consume alone close to ~200W and a P II 955BE when Oced can consume around ~400 ( a lot more if a FX8100 series cpu is OCed ) - GS600W will be pushed to the limits if both are OCed but for stock speed GS600 is good enough ;-)

Hmm.. So that means he needs a PSU > 600 Watts. right? I think that Corsair GS700 or TX 650 V2 should be fine. Both have the same price.. Which one? I trust 650 V2 because I have that too and it is 80+ certified..

Well since budget is 6000 use it completely and get a SeaSonic SS-850AT @6.3k :D

He wont have to worry for future upgrage too.

out of the ones you mentioned I‘d say the Tx should be better

i just noticed that when i play DCS black shark or DCS A-10C warthog. voltage on +12V rail drops from 12.16V to 11.33V [or b/w 11.33v to 11.78v]

is it safe ??
