PSU for GTX 650 Ti Boost

[OMI]

I am gonna buy a GTX 650 Ti Boost 1GB..... I need to upgrade my PSU too.
Is Corsair CX430 PSU enough for a GTX 650 Ti Boost or should i go with CX500???

I am also going to upgrade my CPU cooler from Stock to Cooler Master Hyper TX3 Evo.

 

My PC Specs are:

Intel Core i3 540 @ 3.06GHz

Intel DH55TC mobo

Kingston 2x2GB Ram @ 1333MHz

Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD

It should be enough but i would get a 500w just for piece of mind and if you want to add a soundcard or raid card or something

A 430/450W PSU should be more than enough considering your specs. You'd have enough headroom left in case you wanted to OC your CPU(only with BCLK and probably on a better mobo?)/GPU.

 

As for the CX series, even though i haven't had one myself, the reviews are non-existing and the opinions vary (some are satisfied with it, some complain about the coil-whine, some say the wattage is a bit lower). Try looking into some XFX, beQuiet!, Seasonic (or any other Seasonic rebranded PSUs - just like the XFX one). Very important is to read the reviews, and not just one of them, read as many reviews as there are on a single product cause that's the only way you can make an informed decision.

A 450w will be enough for that system, but if you feel safer with the 500w then get that. :)

It's enough. The system will probably draw ~220W at full load.

[iSuzak]

i agree 500w will be more than enough

You mean 430W.

For a single 650 ti boost, a 430 watt PSU is more that you'll ever need with room to OC if ever you be planning to get something greater than your current i3. 

For a dual 650 ti Boost in SLI however, you might want to look at 600 watt psu. :) 

 

Btw upgrading you CPU  cooler wont matter as much unless you really max out your temps, though cooler components = less power used.

500W is more than plenty to have some future upgrades.

 

430W is fine for Overclocking and adding small things (HDD, SSD, ect...)

I run a 450W XFX model with an OC FX 6300 and an OC 650ti also. 450 is easily enough,

[s3ns3]

even with an i5 is more than fine 430W.with the i3 you will look at like 170W in games for the whole sistem...

[Sundanc3]

I have the CX 430 and it works fine with my system. 

 

i5 2500k @ 3.5 Ghz

GTX 550ti --- these are more power hungry than the 600 series cards

8GB Corsair RAM

32 GB Onyx SSD

500 GB 7200 RPM Seagate Barracuda

Either will be fine, but for upgradability I'd choose the CX500.

I would go with a CX500 psu just to be in the safe zone and to have room for expandability.

[Glenwing]

I would not go for the CX Series at all xD

 

This is on sale for the same price as the CX500, it's better quality as well.  Pretty much a steal.

That is a pretty nice deal. More wattage and better quality for the same price! 

[Hyp0xia]

450 watts is the recommended wattage rating for a system with that card. This comes straight from Nvidia. Also get something with a minimum of 24 amps on the +12V rail.

Thnx for d suggestions guyz....
I won't be able to get Seasonic 620W PSU bcoz i don't live in the US.
I will probably go with CX500.

[Dexterity]

430 should be more than enough because you are only running i3.

[CarDesinr]

Get a Corsair CX500W. It will be more than enough. Im running a FX-4100 and a GTX 550Ti and there is plenty of overhead.
