Recommend a PSU

[JojoTheDragon]

Need a PSU for this config:

Intel DG33BU

Intel C2Q 6600

3x 1GB Corsair XMS2

Msi 5770 Hawk

500 GB Hdd (Will add another 1TB soon)

Zebronics Bizli Cabby

My last PSU was GlacialStars 600A , a local brand.

I was thinking about getting this one :Seasonic S12II-520 520 Watts PSU @ 4k via Flipkart

Budget 3k.

May extend to 4k if highly necessary.

Seasonic is good. You can have a look at this too:

Flipkart: Corsair CMPSU-500CXV2UK 500 Watts PSU: Psu

 

[Gaurav Bhattacharjee]

Definitely get the Seasonic one if you are totally sure you're gonna have a GPU upgrade in the near future.

But for this config, Corsair CX430V2 @2.5k is fine as well.

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

Corsair GS600 @ 4k

But, how much juice does my rig need ? Would a ~450W suffice or do I need ~500W ?


EDIT:
I checked out *extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine and *support.asus.com/PowerSupply.aspx?SLanguage=en

The 1st one says 306W and the Second one says 350W. I guess that ~430W should suffice as I don't want to upgrade anything this year. I will just add another HDD.

Get it from here:-

SeaSonic S12II 520 Bronze 520W ATX12V V2.3 / EPS 12V V2.91 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply

Stick with 500W, you never know when you will need the extra juice.

Stick with corsair and get the GS600 like jas mentioned. Should serve you well for future upgrades.

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

yeah psu is one thing that can be called 'futureproof', get Corsair GS600.
Corsair service is very good too.

 

[Skud]

Where are you guys getting GS600 for 4k? It's 4.4k in ITWares and 4.7 in Flipkart. And pretty much over Jojo's budget.

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

smc can be contacted too.

 

[thetechfreak]

another vote from me to the Corair GS600.

 

[JojoTheDragon]

Ok, i'm choosing between Seasonic S12II-520 520 Watts and The Corsair GS600.

Either of these will fit inside the Zebronics bizli, I mean is there any difference in size ?

 

[vickybat]

^^ No size difference buddy. They'll fit. Choose the corsair as you'll get more watts.

 

[Tenida]

If you have a budget something like 4.6k then I will say go for Seasonic S12 II 620 watt psu@4.6k from theitwares.Its bronze certified 80+ psu with 5 years warranty.Efficiency is also better in it.BTW. GS600 has 3 years warranty

[dfcols71]

you want modular or non modular

 

[coderunknown]

^^ is there any modular PSU at 3-4k? i doubt it.

 

[SIDDHARTH.BEAM]

choose from corsair GS series its a VFM .

PSU like Corsair comes with 3 / 5 / 7 years warrenty on diff. models.
invest once in a good smps once & you will use it for years.
the lowest i can suggest is corsair GS 500.
you mayalso visit corsair site, where a utility is there to calculate your power requirement & models available.
Atlist get knowledge how much "Juice" your rig needs then go for any brand you like. if you have bigger budget (6-8K + , go for modular PSU - But it is just optional. Future proof - at this moment )

Where are you guys getting GS600 for 4k? It's 4.4k in ITWares and 4.7 in Flipkart. And pretty much over Jojo's budget.

today my local dealer @Lamington road, mumbai quoted me Rs. 3650/- for GS500 & 6500/- For HX650 (modular, info for those who dont know

check it out.

 

[doomgiver]

looking at your specs, i think you are gonna upgrade sometime soon, amirite?

in that case, stick with gs600, or get a more powerful psu.

 

[harshatiyya]

+1 for seasonic for ur budget. its reliable too.
