Corsair vs450 is it suitable

[TheITKid]

I know everybody in the universe will say that this is a bad psu but my systems power requirement is extremely low so hear me out:
CPU(non k):54w
GPU:75w
So will it be suitable??

In theory, yes.

Assuming your 54W CPU is either a G4560 or a 4th gen i3 etc?

I'm not aware of a 5W motherboard (but could well be wrong).

You're probably looking at more like:
54W CPU
70W max MB
10W RAM
20W max per HDD
75W GPU

So probably around 230W max draw.

The VS450 isn't the best, but *should* be capable. Whether it works for weeks/months/years though, is anybodies guess.

If you can, I'd suggest a CX450M as a much, much better PSU.

Should i rather use a evga 500W

 

[superninja12]

no, dont look for evga , they dont sell budget quality psus(for now)

best option is to look for antec/xfx/ seasonic/silverstone/ rosewill/ corsair in the budget catagory

FSP??

 

[superninja12]

fsp doesnt sell quality budget units.

 

[Barty1884]

FSP have a couple of decent(ish) PSUs on the lower-end of the price spectrum, but nothing I'd outright recommend.

What is your location, and budget for a PSU?

Just go for CX 450M, higher quality than all you mentioned at a decent price.

Your options in the <R1000 range are horrible - and I wouldn't recommend any of them.

Cheapest I can find, that I'd recommend is the CX550M @ R1235
