Is the PSU Corsair vs450 sufficient?

[dumdum921]

Hello,

I've read that a generic PSU can take other components with it when it goes out.
So i thought I'd want to upgrade my PSU from a generic one to a corsair vs450.
Its cheap, and the next option is a cx500 which cost twice and requires 3-5 waiting days for delivery.

Would it be enough to power my PC?

my specs are:
i5 3570 (non k)
8gb ram
*palit gtx750 2gb(non ti) - will buy, currently have a GT 630.
500gb HDD

I dont overclock or have a shiny cooling system. just the stock mobo fan and an extra fan or two for the desktop case.

--------------------------------

and on a side note:

Is a PALIT gtx 750(non ti) sufficient to run games at medium-high settings at 1366x768 resolution?
or shoud i opt for the gtx 750ti?

The store have stock for the non-ti, but i'll have to wait for 3-5 days(delivery) for the ti version.

yes, the vs should be enough, it's a budget psu but should be plenty for your needs. the 750 is indeed enough for 1366/768 in most games.

what other PSUs are available and in your budget? maybe i can pick a better one for you.

Your psu 450 watt is better for your system
Your psu enough for these spec: with 750ti
Second
You should buy a gtx 750ti for medium-high setting with your these revolution...

Yes 450watts is enough but those cheaper corsair psu's arent very good what is your budget for the psu i might be able to help you find a better one. And yes the 750 ti will do very well in any game at 768p. I would wait for the ti version is quite a bit better than the 750 non ti.

I live in the philippines, in the province, not a lot of options. No amazon either.

my budget is around 10k php (around $220)

i figure its either:

option a: 7400 php
vs450 = 1700
gtx 750 (non ti) = 5700

option b: 10340 (3-5 days delivery time. *possibly longer)
cx500 = 2940
gtx 750ti = 7400 (palit stormx 2gb dual)


The pricelist (a spreadsheet) given to me by the store lists only cougar and corsair.

 

[Gagan sarpanch]

450 watt is better . And you should go with gtx 750ti
You can play most games in high setting
And your 450watt is enough for 750ti and your other system

450 watt = 1700

Gtx 750ti = 7400

I agree with Gagan, stick with the VS450 for practicality, its more than enough anyway to support the spec you provided above. And yes, get the 750ti for better gaming experience without breaking the bank.

 

[dumdum921]

ok then...i guess i'll go with gagan.

 

[dumdum921]

bump.

I want to update that I acquired the vs450 and the Palit Gtx750ti...with a tiny problem.

My generic pc casing is too small for the gtx750ti (216mm)....hahahaha..sad.

So I ordered another casing which will arrive in 3-5 days, Its an Aerocool VS-3

Just want some re-assurance in case i made a mistake:
1. Will the gtx750ti fit in the Aerocool VS-3?
2. Will my asus P8B75-M LE motherboard (a uATX size) fit in the Aerocool VS-3?
