Will the XFX TS 430 be a good choice for my build?

[Jake5253]

Hi,

 

I am building a new PC and want to know if the XFX TS 430 will provide enough power for my build.

 

Here are the specs:

 

CPU: Intel Core I3-6100 (Looking to upgrade with an I5-6500 (or kabylake equivalent in May 17)

Mobo: GIGABYTE H110M-S2H

RAM: 8GB Corsair value select DDR4 (Looking to upgrade with another 8GB stick in February 17)

GPU: Sapphire RX480 Nitro+ 4GB

SSD: Patriot Torch LE 120GB

HDD: 1TB WD Green 7200RPM

Case: Corsair 100R

Drive: DVD burner

 

I have used one of the online calculators which said I would use 9.8A on the 3.3V rail and the max this power supply provides is 12A. Will this make the PSU loud?, If the power supply loses its power over time will it still be enough.

 

The only other options I have that fit my price range are the EVGA 450B, XFX XT 500W. As far as I can figure out the XFX is still better out of these two even though it is not made by Seasonic. I am quite sceptical about the EVGA 450B and would not feel very comfortable putting it in my PC.

 

Thanks,

Jake

It should be able to power that system just fine.

 

Believe or not, that XFX TS 430W is made by Seasonic. So you're in safe hands.

@HKZeroFive So you would not be concerned about how close I am to the 3.3V rail.

PSU calculators often overestimate and are essentially random number generators. I would not be concerned at all.

Lol no

 

You're not stressing the 3.3V rail that badly until you put the PC to sleep (and even still, because of the TS's Haswell certification, the lack of load on it will still be fine). 

 

To keep things short, don't worry about it. You're fine.

 @STRMfrmXMN So would you go with the TS 430?
