Wil lthis power supply be suficient and is it any good?

[salerhino]

As title says, I calculated approx. wattage of my system: http://outervision.com/b/WTQ1oz
All components of my PC are listed there.
I want to change my current power supply which is overall good, but it gets warm when playing games as I guess it is like that because it's really on edge with needed wattage.
Current power supply is : http://imgur.com/IYlG0fa
I want to buy one of these 2 which are similar I guess: https://www.kupujemprodajem.com/Hitno-Ultron-Eco-Force-520W-80-6pin-40999954-oglas.htm
https://www.kupujemprodajem.com/Hitno-Ultron-500W-80-Real-Power-Bronze-40891851-oglas.htm

So, people will my new Power supply be cooler (more cold) and is this Real Power Ultron any good?
The price is around 18 Euros, and they are new, so it is REALLY cheap!

This question is mad every hard to answer given no system specs, but 99.8% of the time you pick the video card by looking at the GPU. The other 0.2% if the time the PSU calculator will cover it.

The old adage applies ... you get what you pay for..... paying really really cheap, gets you a really really cheap PSU. The bottom quality I am willing to put in or recommend for a PC is Seasonic S12 series.

Never skimp on a power supply ever. It is the most important part of a computer bar none.

I have never even heard of the company's you have listed for power supplies.

Chieftec(the one I currently have) is actually not VERY popular, but for sure they are not total anonymous of brand.
Anyways, what you say about the other 2, I mean, they are not popular or well known, but are they OK for 18 euros?

Didn't really understand 1st part of your message sorry;
And about Seasonic unit, it is like 70Euros, which is a lot more expensive than ths one.
Do these 2 Power supplies look that they would work with this PC?

Chieftec doesn't actually make a PSU .... they buy them from Sirtec, CWT, Delta Electronics, SuperFlower. Delta PSUs, at least their premium lines, look like God made them.... Superflower makes some very good and great PSUs, CWT makes most of Corsairs better know quality units.... the also make some low budget units. However, those are only a small part of what Chieftec has sold over the years.

The GPS-400A is made by Delta .... tho I don't know what platform it uses. However, that model series is 7 years old.... I'd be hesitant to continue to use.

Thanks you VERY much for clearing this up, I also learned something from this message;
But will those 2 PSUs which I am looking to buy OK?
I mean, will those be good enough replace for current Dleta/Chieftec one.

With parts you use no.Just invest some money and be happy in the long run.

Awful psu's , $18 is more than they're worth.
Your current PSU is old but was a decent platform, those new ones aren't.

Your system pulls around the 320w mark max in real life.

Hey man, thanks on reply!
Well, I am satisfied with my current one, but it is warm + blows out hot air while playing games, and when I exit games , it needs A LOT of time to cool down...
So I guess it is having hard time with this system (in terms of wattage) ?

Its an old PSU mate, it is probably coming to the end of its life cycle.
But yes you're pushing it too far , how are you powering that 7870 because from what I remember they need 2 x 6 pin power connectors?

The issue with the 2 units you listed - they both have less than 400w available on the 12v & only gave a single 6 pin power connector.
They're essentially 420w max psu's with 500 & 520w labels.

Well I am using 1x molex to 1 x 6 pin...
Yeah I am pushing it too far I agree, poor PSU 🙁
Well, will those 420 max be suffiecient anyways for my PC? I am not overclocking, and from wattage from both my current and those, I can say that they will perform similarily, but I will have NEW PSU instead of this 7 y/o, + they have 80+ cert.
