Gaming rig @40k

Safety with a better SMPS.

Check SMPS section of forum for more details.

 

[Myth]

7870 will work fine with the Corsair 430w.
Use a convertor for the gpu power connectors. molex to 6pin.

I am not sure if CX 430 V2 is enough for HD 7870.

 

[Myth]

Peak power consumption at load is around 280(furmark). proc is another 90 or so.
Corsair 430w v2 being a solid unit, it could handle OP's rig.

OP could also opt for a 500w. Its peace-of-mind and may handle any further additional loads.

XFX Radeon HD 7870 2GB GDDR5 Power Consumption

CX430V2 is enough to handle a HD 7870 since their will be no overclocking involved. The CPU has TDP of only 55 watts. His system will stay well within 300 watts even under full load. And the better part is all the major 336 watts (28A) of power of the CX430V2 is on the 12V rail! So no problem there.

Everything bought at nehru place from multiple shops like cost to cost etc.

Almost every price qouted above is correct take or give rs 100 except

HD7870 - 16.1k
i3 3220 - 6.8k

Also got a cooler master cabinet instead of nzxt.

I love it! It amazing.
instead of buying the monitor, i just connected it to my sony tv using an hdmi cable! Saved 8k on that!

Also learnt how to assemble from my friend who did it for me.

Thanks all!
