Is 450w SFX good for this system?

[olivergoldvalente]

I'm thinking about getting an itx system. 
I'll be using an

i3 4130(probably stock fan)

Gtx 760

8gb Ram

1 HDD

1 SSD

Cheap B85 Mobo

 

But I want to use a 450w Bronze rated SFX PSU.

Is this good enough?

Yes that would be fine

Yeah, it's more than enough. It'll do just fine. No issues far as I can tell. Just check the dimensions and then you're golden.

Would going for the more expensive gold PSU be worth any real benefit?

Like i asked the first user, would spending money on the gold rated PSU be any real benefit?

Not really Bronze is still a good effeciency rate. And unless half pennies matter to you then no there is not really a big benefit except for sometimes the quality of the parts are better and usually last longer.

[TheNinjaNextDor]

More than enough. I could power my system on 450w.

[ForsakenLive]

you can even OC the GPU

The amount you will save from the efficiency is small, but the PSU will also produce less heat. Higher efficiency ratings are also an indirect indication of the quality of the components used and the quality control.

I quickly rigged up a setup by your listed specs and the estimated wattage is 318 Watts. so a 450Watt should be ok but id personally go with a 500W just to be safe.

 

Parts list to Your Specs

450W is ample when you're pulling 300W or so. And there aren't any 500W SFX PSUs as far as I'm aware.

My mistake, you are correct good sir a 450W will be perfect

The gold is good if you pan on upgrading to a 780 etc in the future but other than that not really.

[daemonowner]

A 450W Bronze is just as good for something like a 780 as a 450W Gold.

Personally, I would spend $16 more for the Gold version - not due to the efficiency rating but rather it's utilized a DC-DC secondary which will provided better voltage stability than the group-regulated design of the unit you are looking at.

 

The one you are looking would power your system though.
