Choice

[rowdyjosh02]

Hi all, 

with a i5 3570, 8gb of ram, 240gb SSD, 500gb hard drive and possibly a 1050ti which power supply would you choose? 

Corsair CX450m for $75 (AUD) or be quite System Power 9 400watt $59 (AUD)

 

Thanks all

Well given that the System Power 9 is almost half the price and still plenty sufficient, I'd choose it.

You could defiately get away with the 400 watt. what it all boils down to is the 80 plus rating and what you want also you may want to consider whether or not you want to overclock.

if not 400 watts is definatley enough.

If we pretend that the OP had a 3570K and not a 3470, they could overclock their shit to the moon and back (and halfway again) and still be fine.

 

My 3770, 1050Ti, peripherals, monitor, router, and whatever little vampire draw there is from my XP rig total up to right around 135 watts from the wall at full chooch.
