Can anyone help me!!! I'm planning to upgrade my pc with this setup.
CPU: i3-4150
Motherboard: Asus h81m-e
Ram: 8gb ddr3

Can my 225w psu handle this setup. If not what psu should I get???
 
Solution


with 10amps on the +12 volts it cannot! http://leapfroglobal.com/powerlogic/psus/magnum-pro-225x.html it is far from modern which would have around 15amps there.
what is the psu brand and model number?
i am not gonna give the psu the benefit of doubt and say, set a budget and get at least a 450w 40+ bronze or gold rated, good quality psu like seasonic s12g 450 or an s12ii 430 bronze (it's old though).

is it a lenovo desktop?
 


It probably can, your system load is going to be less than 200watts.

im looking at the corsair vs450 would it be a good choice of psu?
 


It will handle it but is an extreme budget unit from them. Presuming that you are on the Asian market see if you can find Antec VP450 which is about the best budget unit there is.

Antec VP450P I 450 Watts PSU

Seasonic S12II 430 Watts PSU

the eco 430 is so close to the vp 450p (couldn't find the non-p) that it makes eco 430 the better choice for money. didn't find the vs one but the eco 430 is at the same price as the cx 430. the s12ii 430 is barely more expensive.
