Looking for best Power supply for my new pc

[suhail09]

alo guys
I am going to upscale myold P4 PC
NEWSpecs:
AMD FX-8320
ASUS m5a97 r2.0
4 gb ram
amd radeon6670 1gb ddr5 (or higher)

Guys I already have a 400w power supply...my peripheral vendor advised me to buy a 500w coolmaster PSU
Should i go for it..and if i am not buying the GPU ri8 now can i use my 400 w PSU??
Please Help Guys
I ALSO would like some leeway for my hdds(i have 3 of em' which i would like to plg in sometimes)
and future dual GPU cards

Yes u will have to upscale to a better PSU and no u cant use a 400w PSU.. The AMD Fx-8320 is a power hungry beast and u will need a better PSU to feed it .. Also if u buy any GPU above ATI Raedon HD 7750 u will need a better PSU as they will require external 6-pin Power Adapter...

And in case u r are thinking about using 3 HDD's in Raid setup or doing a Crossfire even a 500w PSU will be less.. in that case go for a 600 or 700w PSU then

I'd check the Seasonic line of PSUs

can i use the 400w psu for time being if i dont get any gpu .....and update it later wid a higher end gpu??

A 400W by a good manufacturer will be enough , until you upgrade.

Seasonic , XFX , Corsair not CX Series , Antec , PC POWER. Buy one of these brands.

Yes u can use a 400w PSU without installing any GPU or even using a GPU like HD 7750 and update it later with a better one.. Anyways which 400w PSU do u own ? Is it branded or a generic one ?

although coolermaster is not that good of a psu but with your current config, that 500W PSU will bring all your hardwares to life without any problems 😉

I wouldn't buy a coolermaster.

Naah go for a Corsair.. http://www.flipkart.com/corsair-vs550-550-watt-psu/p/itmdg36xx8yzgjrs?pid=PSUDG34775NHYDHK&ref=bec54cc4-aaa3-488a-b7a0-fa1b2fe6aa18

Cooler Master does not have very good after sale service in India.. Corsair has....

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Get the corsair not the coolermaster.

hmm well that depends if he's going to upgrade his rig later on. If he is going to upgrade, I insists you to not going cheap on PSUs and go for a good branded PSU like seasonic or corsair. if you are fine with the 6670 and not thinking of upgrading, go for the coolermaster
