Getting a PSU for my AMD Phenom II x4 840 + 9500GT setup, thinking of getting this: Corsair VS450 450 Watt PSU - Corsair: Flipkart.com

Should I go for it?

You can go for Antec VP450P -3200.

Get this one - Seasonic SS400BT PSU - Seasonic: Flipkart.com

Ended up getting the Corsair one as the Antec unit was above budget and the Seasonic unit didn't ship to my location.

There's no Corsair or Antec PSU available locally. Found a couple of Antec units but they were the VP550 and the VP650.

Is a requirement of around 621w enough for TX650M PSU? I mean will it support it?

yes,it is enough

Seasonic M12ii 650 would much better than tx650m

His friend is nearly on the brink of make the PSU overload .. He better change it before anything happens.

My current config:

AMD Phenom X4 9650 Quad-Core 2.31GHz
Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2HP
4 GB DDR2 RAM
Samsung SSD 120GB
WD 1TB HDD
Sony DVD RW
External HDDs connected as needed.

Current PSU zebronics 450W seems to be failing as connecting optical drive + hdd results in random resets/bootup failure etc.
Is antec bp300p enough for above config or should i go for vp450p?

I plan to get a 2TB Hdd to add to above.

Edit: how about Corsair VS450 ?

 

[topgear]

VP450P should be your choice.

 

[rijinpk1]

also skip corsair vs 450.

Where can i get FSP Saga II 500W online?

[Flash]

Never mind. Ordered antec vp450p..

 

[rijinpk1]

Never mind. Ordered antec vp450p..

it is an fsp made one

 

[The Sorcerer]

Seasonic S12II 430 is a better choice.

For how long one should keep using a quality PSU? I have a Corsair VX450 which entered into its 6th year recently. It has been totally trouble-free so far and still good enough as my system never crosses 300W. But for how long I can keep using it before it starts giving trouble?
