power supply for my gpu

[rayrayxxx]

i recently bought a hd7870 myst edition
it requires 2 6pin connector, but my psu only have 1. so i used a 2molex to 6pin converter. it works at first then the psu died.

good thing it didn't take other components along with it

i'm considering buying a corsair vs450 or a deepcool da500 because its cheap, but im not sure if this psu can handle this dual 6pin gpu

any suggestions of which i choose on this two?

or any other good cheap psu

Why such an old powerhungy card? And what PSU u want will depend on the rest of the system.

Welcome to the forum!

 

Don't get a corsair VS series PSU, or that deepcool one. They're both shit.

 

I have a PSU tier list linked in my signature. anything tier 3 or above will be great. if you want, you could even get a tier 4 and you would be fine, but don't get anything lower.

 

PSUs are an inventment, so if you spend more on a PSU now, then you can keep that PSU for future builds.

What are the full specs of your whole system? And any plans for the future to expand or upgrade?

But yes, that's also an option.
