Is this PSU enough for a RX 480?

[Spacey93]

Looking at buying an RX 480 hopefully sometime soon. Current specs. i5 4460 CPU, 8gb 1600mhz DDR3 RAM, h81m-plus Motherboard, No GPU atm. But the PSU is only 400w, this exact one here http://www.pbtech.co.nz/index.php?z=p&p=PSUZAL1400. Will it be enough for a 480? or should I look at upgrading it.

I think you'll be just fine. Make sure you have enough PCI-E power plugs doh.

It has the capacity to run it but what I'd be concerned about is the quality. Three years warranty and the low price doesn't seem all that good to me...

 

Probably look at upgrading it either way.

Any recommendations on a decent PSU if I were to look at upgrading?

Depends on your budget. Decent PSUs start at around $150-180 NZD.

Oh ok, just something that would work well with a 1080p build and possibly allow for future upgrading, not planning on doing any overclocking,  watercooling, SLI/CF etc. So nothing too overkill.

I suggest the EVGA SuperNOVA 650 GQ, the Corsair RM550x, the SeaSonic G-Series 550W and the Cooler Master VSM 650W.

 

Unfortunately, choice is limited for us Aussies and Kiwis but they're all excellent PSUs.

Thanks. I'll have a look around and see what the best option is in NZ.

EVGA supernovagq and seasonic g 5502 are good psu's, rmx series usually has good psu but i don't know anyone that used the 550w on. rmx 750  which i ve used is a damn good psu, so i think rmx 550w would be about the same. I haven't used a coolermaster psu so i don't know anything about it. Check them all at the johnyguru site and you find which matches you best. I would suggest one that is about 25% watts that what you need.
