this is my current rig...

Intel Core i3 2100 @ 3.10GHz Sandy Bridge
Corsair 6.00 GB DDR3 (1x4GB,1x2GB)
ASUS P8H61-M LX R3 mobo

1 DVD writer
17" PnP LCD Monitor
& Corsair CX500W PSU.


currently using Win7 64bit OS..


so with only inclusion of GTX 650Ti 2GB DDR5 & rest of the rig as same will corsair CX500W suffice if considering the OC edition or the AMP edition...?????
pls let me know about the normal edition too...

thank you....
 
Solution


Core i3 2100 = 65W
GTX 650 Ti = 110W
Other components = 40W
Total = 215W
You want about 70% of the rated power at full load.
215 / 0.7 = 308W

This low power requirement means you can get...

Best 2.1 Speakers especially for Gaming & Movies. Budget no more than 6k rupees. I have gone through Microlab, tough to get them in my place. Please suggest me some of the best.
 


GTX 750 Ti performance is similar to the R7 260X from AMD.
The GTX 750 Ti uses half the power of the R7 260X and this is what it is praised for. The R7 260X is cheaper.
The R7 265 is faster than both these cards. It is basically an overclocked HD 7850. It will be better value for performance than the GTX 750 Ti.
The R7 265 is rated at 150W TDP. This will still be OK with the Corsair CX 500.
