yeah i already have coolermaster 500w psuA un-OC 1660 Super should be fine with 450W min. As popatim says, you could proably even go 400W if your usage isn't extreme, no OC'ing, and the PSU is high quality. Personally, I would not get anything less than a 500W if buying new. But if you already have a PSU and are wondering if it is enough, then 450W would be my minimum.
What model? Coolermaster has many junk 500w PSU's.yeah i already have coolermaster 500w psu

so what problems am i likly to face with this psu,till now i thought we just look at the watts b4 buying an psu . Pls tell how to choose an psu (best budget psu coz im not richThat PSU is junk. I would suggest getting a higher quality model for stability and peace of mind.
Poor quality construction(cut a lot of corners to make a price point). Being 230v only is usually a good sign of this. The advertised wattage can be very misleading and many cheap units can't get close the the wattage they advertise. Looking for professional reviews is a great way to evaluate a psu as the manufacture not submitting a series for review is a sign that they are probably hiding something. There is a review for the 600w version of that unit and it doesn't do well.so what problems am i likely to face with this psu,till now i thought we just look at the watts b4 buying an psu . Pls tell how to choose an psu (best budget psu coz im not rich![]()
Until the 5v load gets to low then it becomes dangerous.While not the PSU I would choose, the Masterwatt 500W does have a decent +12v rail @ 456W. It should be sufficient to use with those system specs. Meanwhile think about upgrading that next.
