430W PSU for GTX 1050?

[Thready]

I have this I bought from Newegg, but here's the Amazon link. I bought this a while ago and just never used it.

Will this power a GTX 1050 non ti version? My 1050 only uses the PCIe slot's power, no external power needed. I know the recommendation is a 500W PSU but I see no reason why a 430W PSU won't work considering that it only uses the slot's power and it's a pretty low power consumption card. The PC will only be used for Minecraft and Roblox. I don't know anything about Roblox's system requirements but it's a browser game I think.

 

The only other things the PSU will power are a non overclocked 6600k and an SSD and HDD.

That's enough wattage, but you should consider a less horrible quality PSU.

i agree with jonny, though i only agree as i have never seen a psu that wasn't associated with 50's (going up by a value of 50.  400, 450, 500, 550)

A couple off the top of my head...

Seasonic S12/M12 520/620 (and all of its derivatives)
Corsair CX430
Corsair AX760i/AX860i
 

Can't judge a PSU based on whether it is X50 watts.

interesting, its just something i haven't seen before, it would be like if apple released an iphone 7.5, i would be hesitant as it seems a tad weird to me if all i had ever seen was 4, 5, and 6

ill have a look into it, learn something every day. tbh i dont know why i havent seen them

Probably since they're uncommon in most builds. The AX series is a premium PSU, few people have a build that requires one. The CX430 is from the old CX 2012 models. As for Seasonic S12/M12, it's a low quality PSU (for today's standards) from a manufacturer that isn't well known to a lot of people so that's why you haven't seen it.

Regardless...

 

It's a standard 80 PLUS (not even Bronze), double forward topology PSU without DC to DC (Haswell compatible my ass), with a sleeve bearing fan and all Chinese capacitors.

 

It should only be used as a quick fix for grand ma's 15 year old eMachine.

Seasonic fanboys raiding PSU tier list thread every other day would like to have a word with you lol.

I guess I'll get rid of it then and get a better quality one. Thanks guys
