Hi,
Will antec VP 450 or 550 be enough for the following Windows 7/10 PC ?

Asus h110m-d 6th gen ddr4
Intel core i3-6100 6th gen LGA 1151
HDD WD 1 tb blue/black
Ram corsair 8 GB ddr4 vengeance lpx 2400 MHz

First I thought about corsair vs450/550 but then I read the vs series should be avoided and antec is better. This is my first build so i don't have much idea. If the antec one is not enough please help me find a suitable one if you can. My usage will be basic like Internet ,movies but the PC will run for a long time like 15-16hrs/day. My budget is rs 3500-5000.

Here is the link from where I planning to buy

Thanks.

More than sufficient, just not great quality.

For such a low powered system, either should be sufficient - and I see the VS450 as one of the cheapest PSUs on there at RS2300

FWIW, the 2400MHZ DDR4 is wasted on that CPU/MB combo - the max you'll run is 2133MHz, so you may aswell save money and just pick up 2133MHz from the outset.

Thanks everyone for reply.
I didn't have much idea so thanks for the RAM suggestion. I am going to pick the 2133 MHz one.
About pre-built PC,the Windows pre-installed desktop here are much more costly then assembled one.
I am new here and I don't know how to reply back with quoting someone but do you have any idea whether the antec vp 450 will be compatible with APC 1.1kva UPS which is a stepped approximation to sine wave or with any 1.1 kva pure sine wave UPS?

Thanks again.
 


Not sure, but assume that any PSU with a PFC circuit will not work with the UPS unless the UPS specifically says it supports PFC circuits.

Any PSU with an 80+ rating has a PFC circuit.

The VP450 has an 80+ rating thus has a PFC circuit.

I don't believe "stepped approximate sine-wave" UPS devices are likely to work. I think they work better with other devices with looser sinewave requirements of the AC voltage (monitors, TV's, fans etc).

PFC circuits are about EFFICIENCY but require the sinewave to be of good condition and not stepped.

*So basically what would likely happen is if you ever lost power the UPS device would not provide a sufficiently shaped sinewave so the PSU would not function.
