i need a good psu which is ok for my configurations and would allow me to make future upgrades..

i have a tight budget of rs.700...help me out..pls

RS700? I think it's around £8-9, right? You can't buy a decent psu with this money.

Even the cheapest "no-name" PSU's (the one's we never recommend on this board) would cost you more than that (about $13.25). You would have to wait until you can afford about 26-2700 rs. to get a decent PSU that would allow for expansion. Something like this:

Unless of course you're able to get deals that we can't. What site are you using?

Corsair CX430V2.

Yeah, that's a good one but still about $36.00 more than he has.

will my current psu be able to handle my system with the gfx card without any harm?

and its 12 euros..

 

[Bodhisatwa]

or 15.5$..

As stated in your other thread asking this question, yes your current PSU should run your planned upgrade to an HD6670.

yes - but no room for expansion.

Then use it for now while you save for a new one. A good PSU can last a long time (one of my setups is using a 10 year old PSU). A PSU will lose power over time but so do we all. I doubt it would be dangerous.

 

[Bodhisatwa]

then its ok..but i was thinking if it may anytime fail and it takes the mobo,gfx card etc with it!

That's always a possibility even with new PSU's. Not that likely though. What's your alternative?

 

[Bodhisatwa]

what did you mean by alternative?

 

[Chaz21]

what did you mean by alternative?

I mean what are your other options?
Not getting the GPU would be one alternative.
Buying a new, better PSU now would be another.

 

[Bodhisatwa]
