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.
 
Solution
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
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.

 
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?
