[Need help building PC]

Fractal Design Integra 650W 80PLUS Bronze R2

 

or

 

 

GM CoolerMaster 550W v2.3 PFC, 80 Plus Bronze

Well JonnyGURU.com didn't review either and so I will just give my usual recommendation ..

Antec or Seasonic

[H4X3R]

The fractal design is a much better choice. The GM series is bad....very bad.

It rates very well and you are getting it at a very good price so yeah get it.  I wish I was in the US cuz it is much more expensive in Canada.  My target always is to get a psu of high quality for $60 to $70 plus tax and so far those have been from Antec as I have never seen an affordable SeaSonic in Canada.

true, seasonic build quality is very good and prices are very reasonable, in the US, are taxes that high between Canad and the US, can't US and Canada exchange Commecial stuff with no bounderies, i know that's what they tought us in history, or i'm i'm Crap at it

Both are overkill. The system would easily run off of an oem 250w.

sadly antec is not avialable in region, uae, recommend me from this site       www.gear-up.me with price less then 90-100 $

[Hyp0xia]

I also say both are overkill. I'd throw a Corsair RM450 in there, which is still overkill, but not to the same extent as what you're proposing.

[daemonowner]

Seasonic G 360W. That will do nicely. Besides that you could look around for some decent 300W+ units. 500W is overkill for a 750/750Ti, but most people don't seem to realise it.

I want a 750ti for now, may an 860 or gtx 870 later on, need headroom for future updrades

You know you could have just replied to the same thread you've created earlier rather than making a new one and further disjointing the whole conversations//recommendations/posts others have given you..

 

And I thought you've already decided on getting the seasonic I've recommended you.

In your other thread,you mentioned about the system specs and graphics card that you'll be powering, and needed psu with some headrooms for future components upgrade,not just the gpu. With that budget you have, I've chosen the best psu I can find in that gear-up website. Unfortunately there's not much decent quality psu options available in that site, for something around the 300-400w sweet spot of your system power consumption.

 

620w might seem a bit too much (not really imo) but at least you know won't have any issues with future upgrades.

 

But if you still feel that psu is too much and are ok with using generic sub-par psu that fits the wattage needs perfectly to your current system requirement,then go ahead. I hope you have good rma service in UAE

If i use the 600 watt psu, will it affect my power bill?????, secondly if this system uses for e.g. 300 watt, from a 450 watt psu, will it be still 300 if i use 600 watt,and thirdly when using a psu with more wattage, it won't short out the system, ryt?????

1. No. It will not affect your power bill. The psu might perform less efficient at lower loads (typically 50% is where a psu is most efficient at) but still not enough to dramatically affect your power bill. Your pc will only use as much power as needed. The rated wattage on the psu is what it is capable at providing to a system.

2. Yes.

3. Only if you exceed the the psu rated wattage.

 

Ask @daemonowner for more explanation (lol sorry man). I'm on the phone right now

thanks man thats enough!!!!!!, i'll look in to a 550 watt corsair cs550m, may be thats the best one while keeping good efficiency

Fractal Design Integra 650W 80PLUS Bronze R2

 

or

 

 

GM CoolerMaster 550W v2.3 PFC, 80 Plus Bronze

 

 

system is i5 4460 with 750ti asus

 

I would say the Coolermaster vsm series. it comes in 450w,550w,650w and 750w. If you need more wattage get the coolermaster v series, it come in 700w,850w,1000w and 1200w. VSM Series: www.coolermaster.com/product/Lines/gaming-v-sm-series.html   V Series: http://www.coolermaster.com/product/Lines/enthusiast-v-series.html   and  http://www.coolermaster.com/product/Lines/modular-v-series.html  I am getting the VSM series 750w and I looked around and I fine it's a really good PSU.
