Need of psu

[MSiFan4DaWin]

I want a psu that has black cables and it is under 40$
It must be 500W or over

Under $40? I think we should raise your budget.

Models in that price range usually do not include proper safety features and/or will develop voltage instabilities over time, especially if you use more than 80% of their wattage capacity for extended periods of time.

Please list all of the hardware that you are trying to power.

$40 and 500w?

So you need a PSU shaped object, because unless you catch a crazy sale (like the recent rebate on the Corsair CX450M) you're not finding that.

$50, modular black cables. 10% off with promo code in the ad. Whatever you are powering this will likely power it.

Rogue Leader, I don't have too much information on this model, is it any good?

25% of reviews on Newegg for that model are under three stars.

I'm not trying to tell you that you're wrong, but don't you think the OP would want something of higher customer rating?

Its in a strange place. The TS series is made by Seasonic. However the XT series is made by a company called Hydance which uses a Seasonic design and builds PSUs under license to that design. That said they are far lower quality.

4 out of 17 reviews, people are morons. And read the reviews, the guy is complaining about price. Newegg reviews are a waste of time, same with Amazon reviews. the only thing they are worth is trying to find the same problem consistently which is either a design flaw, or people are idiots, depending on the problem.

The CX450M has proven so far to be a decent PSU, with Japanese caps. In this price range its the best deal.

 

[weberdarren97]

I definitely agree about it being a great model for its price range, but don't you think we should see if OP can raise his budget before suggesting these models?

I guess I'll ask... MSiFan4DaWin, can you raise your budget to allow for higher quality units?

 

[Onus]

I agree with what Rogue Leader has been telling you. The older Corsair "CX" line is not that good, but the new ones, such as the one he has provided, are built with better components.
Negative customer reviews are sometimes not related to the product itself (they really should be edited out), but to price, shipping, or customer idiocy. They're only good when they are thorough and consistent, which is rarely the case.

I would argue and say it punches above its weight at the price its at. Its a perfectly good 450w PSU and the whole moderation team has been recommending it for budget builds. Its not a low price compromise like an EVGA 500B.

 

[MSiFan4DaWin]

it will have an i5 6400, 8 gb of ram, the gtx 1050 when it arrives on the market and a msi b150 mortar

 

[weberdarren97]

I guess I'll do some research on the differences between the older and newer versions. But I appreciate a third pair of eyes that's knowledgeable on the situation who gives useful information without calling one of out and telling us we're wrong.

In light of this new-to-me information, I must agree with Rogue Leader. His recommendation is probably a solid unit for the price.

if i could rise it(it is for a friend) i may pick the thermaltake smart se 630W

Nope that is a junk PSU compared to the one I sent you. And you don't need anywhere near 630w. 450 is more than enough.

 

[weberdarren97]

TT Smart se is crap.

 

[MSiFan4DaWin]

i need it to be at least 500W

 

[MSiFan4DaWin]

for more room 4 expandability

 

[Rogue Leader]

for more room 4 expandability

There is nothing you are going to expand to at 500w that 450w isn't going to do.

Based on the build you have it will barely use 300w. You could plug 8 hard drives into it you still won't hit 400w.

 

[MSiFan4DaWin]

how much power will gtx 1050 use again(max)

 

[weberdarren97]

Which model of the 1050?

 

[MSiFan4DaWin]

doesnt matter
i dont know yet... it is not out

 

[weberdarren97]

Founders Edition is rated at 75 watts.

Won't have any power connectors, just pulls from the PCIe slot? http://wccftech.com/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1050-gp107-gpu-specs/

 

[Rogue Leader]

how much power will gtx 1050 use again(max)

Nobody knows for sure till its out but I guarantee it won't be more than a 1060 and that system you posted if it had a 1060 would come nowhere near maxing out a 450w PSU of good quality like the one I posted. With a 1060 it would likely max around 300 maybe touch 350 in the most demanding situation.

ok i will end this madness XD
