is this psu good enough

[medar]

its a Powerline something it says 450w on it. I have a FX 6300 and nvidia 9800+ gtx will it support them, if not please recommend me a power supply

It's based on an archaic design where system power draw were more drawn from the 5V rail as opposed to 12V like modern day system. This is evident by the presence of the -5V rail which was removed from ATX specification in 2003/4.

 

To provide you a recommendation, a budget and links to site you are able to buy from would be helpful.

FX 6300 can pull like 220 watts. that + 150 makes for about 83% of your capacity. 40 watts more for the motherboard and maybe 20 watts for fans, drives, etc. and you're getting awful close

It's pretty bad in my opinion, are you able to get a lower power graphics card like a GTX 750? Or other cards with a single 6 pin PCIe connector, instead of 2

a good PSU is hard to come by these days due to the pandemic. I hope you can find a decent PSU of about 500 watts, and if this system is your main PC, it is worth spending a little extra for a quality unit, if possible.

Don't worry. I've navigated through sites that were in Japanese, Chinese, Hebrew, etc. While it being in a foreign language does make it somewhat difficult, the general website layout doesn't change too much.

 

Anyways, a quality 450w (which your Powerline VP-430 is not) is capable of powering a system with an FX6300 and GTX9800+. I'm assuming you are on a tight budget if you are getting a 12 year old card, so is the Corsair CX450M is in your price range @ 162 BAM?

Pricing and availability can differ depending on the region. What may seem like a bad deal for me may be an excellent deal for you. The only reason why I picked that one is because the non-modular CX450 only has one 6+2 pin connector but looking at the price again, you are right. That PSU seem to be rather expensive. You could get the RM550x for that price which is a superior high-end unit: https://www.olx.ba/artikal/35310282/corsair-550w-rmx-series-rm550x-atx-140mm/

 

A more affordable option with two PEG connector for your GPU could be the Seasonic S12III 550w: https://www.olx.ba/artikal/39395822/seasonic-s12-iii-550w/

 

And no, the MS 500 PSU is bad.

It's probably fine for the hardware your using but I would definitely upgrade to a more modern unit! Maybe a CX grey label or a evga bronze unit? 

 

But this is a cheap unit and probably outputs less than it says! Go for a decent budget unit! Like is said, a grey unit CX or bronze evga would suffice (500-550w).

the chip is a 100w tdp and can pull 220w underload. The gpu is a 140w under load, thats 360, plus 50 or so for the motherboard, and like 20 for drives/fans depending on what he has, and you have a 430w power draw. thats like 95% of the wattage. I would want a 550w or higher for this.

I run a 580 and 3100 on a 500w... That's 325w Gpu and a 75w Cpu... 

 

I agree that 500w and above is recommended but you could theoretically work if it is actually 450w but it's probably closer to 370w! That's why I recommended a grey label or a evga bronze or a system power 9 unit! Something cheap but decent quality!
