Budget power supply

[vaibhavpathak982]

Hello guys, i just brought a new cpu( i3 8100), mobo(h310me) and hdd(barracuda 1 tb), i already have gpu( gtx 1050 ti) and 8 gigs ram. I just wanted to buy a low budget psu to power this combo. I was thinking about this corsair vs350 - 350watts psu. I calculated the power requirement on http://www.coolermaster.com/power-supply-calculator/. It showed me the load wattage of 263 watts and recommended psu of 313 watts. So i was thinking if it'll be sufficient for gaming purpose and no future issues.

I would avoid Corsair VS units, they're not good. I would suggest Corsair CX450.

I doubt it will even use that many watts under full load. Probably closer to 200 watts. Most of the time it will use a lot less.

The Corsair VS series does not support Intel C6/C7 sleep state. I'd get something else. Without knowing your budget and location. No one can make recommendations.

Can't go wrong with EVGA 450 BT, 80+ Bronze 450W for $29 and a 3 year warranty. You don't want to match the exact wattage output of your internals with the same wattage power supply. You want more so the PSU operates around 50% load for better efficiency.
