Anything is possible, but you're most likely safe...

can you suggest a very good psu for under 70 euro?

 

[drdjworks]

EVGA 600B

 

[Konstantinos Koutse]

EVGA SuperNOVA 750 B1 how about this one?

 

[DhiaBtk98]

in rare situations yes when the psu is old , but you are completly protected and i suggest to keep ur psu because the evga 600b has some cheap capacitor .

 

[Konstantinos Koutse]

i just bought that psu and i have 3 years warranty and it has all the requirements protectino and it was released quiet recently

 

[DhiaBtk98]

thats why i suggest to keep it
save you money for a new cpu

 

[Konstantinos Koutse]

yes i know i must but i worry about my psu and i dont want to spend another 100 euro on a psu so then i wont have money for a proper cpu

 

[Konstantinos Koutse]

but will it handle gtx 960?

 

[DhiaBtk98]

http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-960/specifications the 960 recommend 400w as a minimum psu wattage and u have 700w so i think that will be handled

 

[Konstantinos Koutse]

but people say in tomshardware that it will fry my hardware becuase it low quality

 

[DhiaBtk98]

give me ur build

 

[Konstantinos Koutse]

i5 3450 3.1 ghz
gtx 960 windforce x2
8 gb Teamgroup DARK 1600 mhz
Foxconn h61 MXV
1 HDD 1 tb
1 ssd 64 gb

 

[DhiaBtk98]

are you going to use this build for heavy gaming ?

 

[Konstantinos Koutse]

no only 720p and playing new games like batman arkham knight or some ac unity at 720p

 

[DhiaBtk98]

if u wanna use OC i suggest to go for a corsair psu for better quality , if not i dont see any problem with ur b700 , your PSU will handle it without issues

 

[Konstantinos Koutse]

i owe you one

 

[DhiaBtk98]

as i said keep ur money for a better cpu
