GTX 1060 with 500W Zebronics PSU

[Sachin J28]

Is this Zebronics (ZEB-500W) 500W PSU good enough for a GTX 1060
(ASUS GTX 1060 6GB ROG STRIX OC or ASUS GTX 1060 6GB Dual-fan OC).

My current system specifications are :

CPU : Intel Core i5 3330 @ 3.00GHz
GPU : Asus GeForce GTX 650 1GB
Motherboard : Intel DH61WW
Monitor : Samsung LS22F350
RAM : Transcend 8GB JM1333KLH-8G
PSU : Zebronics ZEB-500W
Storage : 1TB Seagate ST1000DM003
Optical Drive : Samsung SH-224BB
Operating System : Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

500w is plenty for your system: https://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator There are other PSU calculators out there too BTW, but most come close to each others findings.

As far as the Zabronics... This is all that came up for customer reviews: http://www.amazon.in/Zeb-500W-Power-Supply-Platinum/product-reviews/B00F0J4I9U/ref=dpx_acr_txt?showViewpoints=1 It's kind of an unknown company.

Not sure what your budget is but some safer options may be:

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438095 550w $69 after $20 rebate
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151189 550w $69 after $10 rebate

You really should consider getting a better quality PSU than Zebronics. A quality PSU is very important as it can damage your hardware. I would suggest a Seasonic or EVGA PSU. As for the wattage, 500 watts is more than enough

I would select the cheapest 1060 of the two as both are equally as good.

I would not use that power supply unless I had no choice.
22a on 12V for a total of 264 usable watts and is a dead giveaway that the PSU is inferior and this is their "platinum series"
the card itself will draw 120W.

 

[Sachin J28]

Can I buy this psu http://amzn.in/i5OpW7A, is it good enough? Can you suggest a PSU which is around 63$ from amazon.com or amazon.in?

A good Unit I have used VP450 from Antec before

 

[Sachin J28]

What about this one http://a.co/731yMGG? Even the 620W version of this PSU is same price as the 520W one

 

[R_1]

that would be my choice, but I could not find it for under the price at amazon.in.
that is the unit you should get.

I will get it from USA where it costs 61$, my brother-in-law might get it if I ask him.

 

[Sachin J28]

There is a problem, my brother-in-law might not be able to get that PSU from USA. Can anyone suggest a good reliable PSU under 4000₹/62$? Maybe from Amazon.in? What about this one Thermaltake TR2 Series 500 W 80 Plus?

The Antec vp 450 p is the best choice really. This is coming from a guy who is in India.
U also have the seasonic industrial ss500 for a bit more in Amazon.
If you can get the corsair cxm 450 or cx450 2017 edition from a local retailer, that's also fine.
Don't go for the tr2. Not a good unit.

I need a PSU which is 500 to 600w as I might upgrade other components in the future.

 

[madmatt30]

^ as lucky has already said , you are better with a very good quality 450w unit than a poor quality 600w.

Upgrade other components in the future ??
Not really going to matter , power draw across base components & CPU's won't vary much if at all from what you're running now.

So it won't make a difference in power consumption if I upgrade my processor or motherboard in the future? https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371102&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-VigLink-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=6146992&SID=j730engm50002urt00053, is this PSU good?

 

[madmatt30]

^ not really no, all current CPU's are below 100w tdp, you may see 20w max more upgrading to a new setup.
Only gpu's really have a huge variant on power draw nowadays.

The neo eco? - yes that's a fairly solid unit.

 

[Sachin J28]

Nevermind, it would cost me 6000 to 8000 INR to get it shipped here to India.

Is a good quality 450w psu enough for my pc?

 

[Sachin J28]

Looks like I won't get any good PSU within 5000 INR online, I will buy from some local shop, I might get it for cheaper there. I have a list of PSU's below, please tell me which are good enough and which aren't good enough.

Antec NE550M 550W

Seasonic S12II 520W

Corsair - CXM 550W

EVGA - BQ 650W

EVGA 500 W1 80+

Antec HCG-520M

Antec VP550P

Corsair CP-9020098-UK VS 650

BTW, I am suggesting the vp series since u are using a locked cpu. If you have plans of doing overclocking with an unlocked cpu soon, getting this from newegg is a much better deal. https://www.newegg.com/global/in/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151136

Ok, thank you dude. I will think about it after seeing if I can get a good quality PSU for a cheaper price in some local shop.

The same thing running in my mind. This one needs to be closed.
