yep.. I think I should consider that..

wow.. the more I know

hey.. you know what, that is what happened to this PSU It was broken when he gave this PSU to me like 3 years ago but somehow I managed to repair it, and it works until now

so the big consumption or not depends on the spec right? it's relieving to hear that thanks for your answer

So I have built my desktop PC. I'm not a gamer, but sometimes I play casual games. In case you ask my PC spec: I use Gigabyte GA-H61M-DS2 Rev. 5 with Intel Core i3-3220. 4GB ram. 2 HDD, 2.5" and 3.5". No graphics card. But there is something that bothering me.. I've got PSU Vantec ION 2 VAN-450C 450W, I'm not sure if it's for gaming or not. Someone gave me this PSU for free so I think "why not, it is quiet anyway" , the problem is actually about the power consumption, is it consuming much power than regular PSU? Your answer might be helpful for me Thank you
