Power supply recommendation for low end pc

EL02

So, i have a 2400g and 1050ti. I will not be upgrading to any newer hardware in the future. I currently have a bottom of the barrel 250w psu, since it was a prebuilt(without the 1050ti).

Whats the most suitable power supply for my pc, even if it is a 350w one as long as its a quality psu i dont care as it wont draw anywhere near that much power.

Budget, location ?

Albania preferably, but I could also buy it from greece. For the budget, lower than $50, or even if its like maybe $30 and can handle the system idc.

the 1050ti consumes around 75w , the 2400g around 50-60w.

the rest of your system won't consume over 20-30w

 

so unless your current psu is dying you don't need to upgrade.

I have no idea. Not familiar with the model.

 

What's important is what's written on the label, and if you can trust the label.

 

Your processor and your video card consume power from 12v output of your power supply, so look on the label and see how much the power supply can produce on 12v output.

Multiply 12v with the current amount and that's how much watts the power supply can give on 12v.

For example, if the label says 15A  then  15A x 12v = 180w


I already told you, CPU will peak at around 60w, the video card at around 75w, the rest won't consume more than 20-30w , so you're looking at around 150w on 12v

If the power supply can provide 180-200w on 12v, and you don't think the label lies, then you're fine.

It's garbage. You can't expect more than that from a €18 psu.

https://www.skroutz.gr/s/11542607/Corsair-CX-Series-CX450-450W-Full-Wired-80-Plus-Bronze.html is wat you need. 

https://www.skroutz.gr/s/25581445/Corsair-CX-CX550F-RGB-550W-Full-Modular-80-Plus-Bronze.html is also a great psu for that price.
