what psu for 9800GTX?

[Harvik780]

my friend is having this config..

G33 / P35 mobo (not sure which one)
Q6600 proccy
2gb ram

he is planning to Buy the Asus 9800 GTX+ AMP! edition.

what kind of a PSU will he need? please suggest the cheapest workable solution.

currently he is on stock PSU.

Cheapest workable solution is CM EP 600 watt.
But maybe you would be on the lower side when overclocking with this one.

no way I am not that type of guy to sit and close my eye on my own request.

I was getting advises from friend in city and forums to which one gets better.

Sorry for not replying.....

------------------------------------------------

Now to work.

I am thinking to

9800GTX or 9800GTX+
E7300 2.66 @ 1066 FSB
CM extreme 600W PSU

Today by 4pm from near PC market.

NOTE:- PLZ dont push me for HD4850 Coz its not easy to in pakistan.....Mostly out
of stock. But if I get it available I will buy it.

As for Alternates is there any similair to 9800 Gtx or 9800 Gtx+ in price.


thanks to all

BFG 9800GTX needs only ONE 6pin connector
Corsair 450 is the best PSU you can buy in that budget
Ditch CM 600 ..get Corsair with a lot more efficiency than any Cooler Master Extreme PSU

and no way is 450VX=Cooler MAster 600
in tests it delivered 500 + watts which it aint even rated for.

 

[NIGHTMARE]

totally agree with him

 

[ancientrites]

yeah me too agree but why not corsair 620 it could be handy.

Go for VX450W.

Then get HX620..Good one though..

Much more power than required.

some say that crossair psu works fine only with pure sine wave ups. check this point before buying.

wrong.

he might have taken the decision and forget all about this and busy playing crysis in ultra high settings and must be beating his head by now.

Nope, CM EP 600W has more than enough power for it.

Thats the case with all Corsair PSUs. They are efficient and reliable. They always under-rate their PSUs.
