Hi, I bought yesterday GTX950 OC Windforce edition, and since I had to make that decision quickly (I didn't do enough research at the time), after I already purchased it i found out that my PSU doesn't have the 6 pin connector required for the gpu. So I bought a 6pin molex as I tough that it will work good, and I wont need new PSU, but after I read sooo many forums on the molex, and the PSU, I decided that it was very bad idea to use it, and I only used it to test if the GPU is working, which it is.
I am afraid to use it for gaming (or anything else that is demanding), since I don't know if the PSU will be able handle it, so I decided to get a new PSU, but there a new problem arises, I need a "good" and "cheap" (doesn't exist I know, but anything is better than mine) PSU and I have a very limited list of PSU's that I can get my hands on currently that might fit those requirements.
LIST:
Seasonic ECO-430 430W
ZALMAN ZM500-GSII 500W
Zalman ZM500-GLX 500W
Corsair CX500 500W
Corsair VS550 550W
CORSAIR CX Series 430W Bronze
XFX XT500 500W
XFX PRO XPS-550W-SEW 550W
XFX Core Edition PRO 80+bronze 450W
600W Cooler Master B2 Series
EVGA 500 500W
EVGA 500B
Those are my primary options, from what I have read, EVGA and XFX would be the best but i'm not sure, that is why i'm here
.
PC Specs:
Mobo: m5a78l-m lx (supports am3+ up to 95W cpu)
CPU: AMD Athlon x2 260 3.2 GHz Dual core (99% sure it will bottleneck the GPU but noting I can do at the moment)
GPU: GTX950 OC Windforce (AMD 6570 HD OLD)
1x4GB, 1x2GB RAM=6GB
1x 250GB, 1x2TB HDD (1 500GB in reserve unconnected)
PSU: Generic crappy trendsonic t-450atx 450W, 26A on +12 rail, 3 molexes, 2sata and 1 floppy connector
(PC is prebuild and OLD)
(Don't know why i'm adding it here but i have one 12 cm fan working at a full speed blowing air in the case, located above the GPU, i might get a molex for a fan since i dont have more space on my mobo to get 12 cm or 9cm output fan (or both)).
I plan upgrading the CPU in the future, so keep that in mind, I don't know if I want to get the AMD FX 6300 (best that the mobo can support), go Intel and get new mobo and cpu, or new amd cpu and motherboard, I will decide that in the future but if you can recommend a good cpu(and a mobo) that is the fx 6300 range i will write it down for future.
I want to keep the PSU if possible under the 75$ (135 KM) (prices are not same in the us and here).
If you know a better PSU that fits the ranges, I will try to find it here if anybody sells it:http://www.olx.ba/pretraga?kategorija=1042&id=5&stanje=1&vrstapregleda=tabela&sort_order=desc&sacijenom=sacijenom&samosaslikom=samosaslikom
Any help will be appreciated.
P.S I don't know how I feel about those corsair options since I have seen that they can easily go out with a bang.
