[SOLVED] I need a cheap PSU

[Luk3skywalker]

Hi guys, I need a cheap psu around 60AUD because I am on a very tight budget.

Around 450w and I don't mind if its modular or not.


Can you recommend some?

As I mentioned in your other thread, consider the CORSAIR CX450.

I'm sorry, thats too expensive. Would the VS450 work?

 

[DSzymborski]

The Corsair CX 450 can be purchased for $63AUD. You said around $60. If around $60 doesn't mean around $60, could you tell us what your budget is?

sorry about that, you're right, I can find it for 60 bucks, but I think I need to wait a bit until I sort some stuff out with my pc and get a bit more money.

The VS450 might be ok depending on what the rest of your build is/will be. Main thing is, does it have all the connectors. Don't go buying those molex to pcie cables, or even 6 pin pcie to 8pin pcie. Stay away from them. What GPU, CPU and motherboard is it going to be powering?

 

[Luk3skywalker]

What GPU, CPU and motherboard is it going to be powering?

Well, my current GPU is a hp GT 730 with 2gb of GDDR5, but I want to upgrade it in the future,
my current CPU is an I5 2400 3.1 GHZ but because i want to upgrade my motherboard I might have to get a new one,
my motherboard is a Lenovo IS6XM. It came with my Lenovo M91p SFF.

"PSU" and "cheap", not a good combination. If you can wait a bit and get a good quality unit and do not settle with a mediocre one.

If you really have to get it now I also think Corsair CX 450 is OK.

 

[ConanLock]

The VS450 should easily power your current setup. At max it will be using 300w. If you get the VS450, you should have space to even upgrade to the best that motherboard supports when you go to upgrade it.
You could use an i7 2600 with a GTX 1050/1050 Ti or even a 1060. Your PC also supports up to 8gb ram if you haven't got that already.

Cool, thx!

I have 8gb ram. Sorry, I should of said that before.

 

[ConanLock]

That's fine, you've still got the option to get the i7 2600 and one of the GTX cards I listed though.

 

[Luk3skywalker]

Main thing is, does it have all the connectors.

Does it have a 4 pin CPU connector?

 

[ConanLock]

Yup, it even has 2 pcie connectors for graphics cards that need them.
