Do you think 430 w can handle my pc? And I've seen many bad reviews of CX series. And it's a tier 4 unit.

 

[superninja12]

hey good thing to see you do homework.
430w can easily handle your pc unless its a quality unit.

the green cx series are bad the new ones (black white )aren't.

try to give us a bit more info next time, no clue if the psu will fit or it will have the right connectors for your components.

if I buy Seasonic s12ii then will it handle 970ti too?

 

[superninja12]

970 ti ? that doesnt exist.

a seasonic s12ii 520w will handle a 1080ti.
so you can throw every card at it.

With your system, you'd be lucky to see a 225w-250w draw with the pc totally maxed out, so recommend psu for a 1050ti is a decent 400w psu. The reason the CX is tier 4 and not really advised in your circumstance is its rated heat. It's a 30°C unit, and temps above that can mean minor to severe power efficiency loss. With Indian summers well in excess of 40°C ambients, the life expectancy of 30°C units is possibly quite short. The CX430 is one of the better CX, normally pretty dependable for low power needs, but your circumstances put it at 'iffy' at best.

550w is as high as I'd be looking for in your case. That's more than enough power for a gtx970 (my i7-3770K at 4.9GHz OC, (200w+ OC), with a gtx970 OC to 124% is powered by a Evga G2 550w)

I don't have any choice left. I'm going to buy Antec VP650PM (because it's a Delta made unit) OR CoolerMaster Masterwatt lite 600w

Delta is a very good OEM, and Antec doesn't put out junk psus, even their low grade stuff is decent. I'd definitely go with the Antec VP. The CM masterwatt lite is Enhance, and while they can put out some superb psus, this isn't one of them.

The Seasonic's are Out of stock now so I'm going with Antec VP650PM. Thanks for your help.

 

[superninja12]

before you buy, you can contact the store, youve got nothing to lose.
