Power Supply Help!

Hey everyone!

I'm buying a new PSU this week so is Corsair VS450 a good choice in my rig?

Specs:
ASRock FM2A75 Pro4 Mobo
AMD A6-5400K
Zotac GTX 1050 Ti
6gb Ram (1x4gb 1x2 gb both kingston RAM)
Toshiba 500gb HDD
Seagate 500gb HDD
3 Molex fan (2x 80mm and 1x 120mm fan)

Thanks in Advance

450 watts is enough for your rig, but the Corsair VS line is at the bottom of the corsair product stack. I would not go with that PSU as it is not a quality PSU.

This seasonic is a much better PSU and is a pretty good price right now.

But i'm on a tight budget plus shipping is more expensive here in the Philippines so it's a no no for me.

The VS450 has enough wattage to push your components and there are definitely worse PSUs you could buy. But poor quality PSUs can malfunction and damage other hardware in you rig. So I guess it is just up to you with how you feel about the risk of going with a low end PSU.
