Posted April 26, 2014 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? http://www.amazon.com/Silverstone-Tek-Factor-Supply-ST45SF/dp/B003H4QPDC/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1398484278&sr=8-4&keywords=rvz01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No issues far as I can tell. Just check the dimensions and then you're golden. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: « Current PC ~ Phantom Beast » .::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::.

Posted April 26, 2014 Would going for the more expensive gold PSU be worth 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. Hope I could help!

Posted April 26, 2014 More than enough. I could power my system on 450w. Build Log Define R4 case mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted April 26, 2014 you can even OC the GPU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted April 26, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 26, 2014 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.

Posted April 26, 2014 450W is ample when you're pulling 300W or so. And there aren't any 500W SFX PSUs as far as I'm aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mistake, you are correct good sir a 450W will be perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted April 26, 2014 Would going for the more expensive gold PSU be worth any real benefit? The gold is good if you pan on upgrading to a 780 etc in the future but other than that not really.

Posted April 26, 2014 A 450W Bronze is just as good for something like a 780 as a 450W Gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted April 26, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
