Will this PSU be okay?

[alanp1995]

I'm looking to get a PSU and want to keep it under £40 as I'm on budget. I was looking at the EVGA 500W White PSU as it seems to be a popular choice. I will only be doing some mild GPU overclocking.

 

PSU must be on Amazon UK.

 

Parts:

i3 6100

Asrock H110M-ITX

8GB RAM

Asus Strix 950 OC

EVGA W1 are terrible quality - it is NOT for ANY sort of OCing. SeaSonic S12II or XFX TS as a minimum

So a XFX TS 430W would be okay? Recommended wattage for GPU is 400W.... If I overclock the GPU a bit would 430W be okay for that + my system?

Yes, the XFX TS 430W will be good. You can OC on it safely.

Nope. Anyone will agree that it is crap. Especially me because I have had a 500W and a 400W clap out and a 500W straight up blow up and kill other components. Don't touch it. 

 

I would maybe look at a 80plus bronze unit. Maybe a Corsair CX430M or a Evga 500B. Also look at a low wattage Seasonic OEM PSU as you can often find 80plus gold supplies for cheap.

Just like don said you should really get this PSU. Neither the EVGA 500B nor the Corsair CX would be good choices.

As long as it is not that atrocious 500W
