PSU for an HP P7-1234

[NMueller91]

Hey all,

I am going to be fitting a Radeon 7550 into my Hp P7-1234 desktop, i know that the PSU on board has enough power to let me install it no problem. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus+-+Radeon+HD+7750+Graphic+Card+-+820+MHz+Core+-+1+GB+GDDR5+SDRAM+-+PCI+Express+3.0/5717131.p?id=1218686510091&skuId=5717131

I need a couple of suggestions for a PSU, which i will be getting either the same day i get the video card, or at the very least a month later.

Don't buy the GPU and PSU from BBY, their products are way over priced. You can either go to microcenter or go online like newegg.com to buy it. You need the good brand 400W PSU like this.

cin19,

The thing is, I am trying to get this build done as quickly as possible, I don't want to wait on shipping and what not when i can just run down the street to BBY and pick it up.

Does anyone else have recommendations (looking to keep this under $100) or comments on the CX Series 600M?

Yes the CX600M is a decent PSU.

I see. CX Series 600M is good, but if you only use the HD 7750, then you can buy the Antec - 450-Watt PSU is more than enough, 600W is over kill.

[NMueller91]

Which Radeon card would i be able to pair up with the CX 600M?

 

[cin19]

If you use single GPU, you can use up to HD7970, but maybe your CPU ( A6 ) will be bottleneck. Maybe get the HD7770.
