Power Supply Confusion

[Gerraour]

Hey Tech, i want to buy a new gaming pc with this spec

Ram : 8GB DDR3

Processor : i5-3470

VGA : Zotac Geforce GTX 650 Ti 2048MB DDR5 BOOST

Motherboard : ASROCK Motherboard Socket LGA1155 [B75M-GL]

PSU : Thermaltake SMART M550W

Monitor : LED SAMSUNG 15.6" S16A 100N

HDD : WDC5002AALX 500GB SATA

Monitor : LED SAMSUNG 21.5"LS22B310BS

does the psu handle it?

 

[oczdude8]

yes

No, Thermaltake makes shitty PSUs. Get one from Corsair, Antec, XFX, or Seasonic with similar wattage.

Either one will power your specs.

 

[badboyrog]

choose a psu with more wattage
like 750W

 

[Gerraour]

okay

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

500w is more than enough to run that setup.

I linked 2 good choices above.

Indeed you did.

 

[oczdude8]

the one you have is not a bad psu:
http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/psu/39537-thermaltake-smart-m550w-psu/
and it has sufficient wattage.
it should be fine.

Of course, if you have extra money, go ahead and get the ones suggested, they ARE better, but not necessary.

Oh, he can get it if he wants poor ripple control and voltage spikes everywhere.

actually, I misread the post, I thought you already had the 550w thermaltake.

if you don't have it, don't get it. get the better ones posted above.
