Power Supply/ PSU

[PC_no0b]

Good day to everyone!

Is the PSU compatible with my build?
I'm new to building PC's so any help is appreciated!

PSU: Corsair VS450w
CPU: Intel i5-6500
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1050 Ti Windforce OC
MoBo: MSI B150M Mortar Arctic
Memory/RAM: Kingston Hyper X Fury DDR4 (2133 mhz) (1×8GB)
Don't know if this is needed but,
Monitor: Asus VC239H

Fine mate , assume you have storage drives to add to this??

The vs450 is a fairly low quality PSU, but if your budget is tight it'll do the job.

Hey there,

The PSU will be sufficient for your build, even with added storage drives etc. However I would look for a better/beefier PSU if you plan on upgrading in the future or doing some overclocking.

thats a fine build. but as everyone said.. might want to upgrade your psu, not immediately. upgrade if you got the money.. as you can see here http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html this is a tier list of Power Supply.. Tier 1 is the best and Tier 5 is the worst.. your psu is at Tier 4. so upgrade to atleast to Tier 2 Psu.

That will power your build, but I would never buy one. Not even 80plus certified and is literally the cheapest, lowest quality psu corsair sells as far as I am aware. Are you in the US? If not what is your budget for a psu in your currency? I will see if there is anything better around the same price.

^ to be fair the vs is 80+ rated , it would be bronze but it fails spec simply because its 220-240v only as opposed to full switching.so he's definitely somewhere European or Asia/India based.

I'm not sure where I stand with the vs series in all honesty , on paper it has similar specs to the old 2012 CX (which 'should' be the better unit) which I still don't think belong in tier 4 on the old list.
The vs has an extra years warranty , & a 40c load rating as opposed to the 30c rating on the CX.
It actually has better specs.
I know it's a very very similar cwt platform but with some seriously sketchy jun-fu caps which probably explains the inherently lacklustre voltage regulation compared to the cx (which strangle was always right up there on voltage regulation & ripple)

Vs = budget unit , absolutely mediocre quality , average at best voltage regulation , at least can do full rated wattage at 40c.
Sometimes though its the best choice out of a bad bunch if choice is severely limited
