Will this PSU support GTX 960

[hassaan997]

Im building a PC. I just found Antec Basiq VP450[LINK] is on sale at NCIX. Will this PSU support this build:

i5 4590
Asrock H97 Anniversary
GTX 960
8 GB Ram

Ive read good reviews but Im not so sure.

gtx960 will take around 150W at 100% load(if overcloked), i5 will draw around 90W. cpu + gpu - around 240w (~) A good 450W PSU will handle this, but I don't really know anything about Antec. I am personally using a 530W psu for R9 380 which takes around 250W and Athxlon 860k which takes around the same as your intel.

Thats a Tier 3 series PSU. Get either Tier 1 or 2 category PSU.

Okay Thanks Guys. I'll save for a better one or a better sale. And this one is a better bet?

Its tier 2 I guess

But why worry about the watts when it has a lower price point and is a tier 2 PSU too?
Like Xfx isnt worth it? And the SuperNova is Tier 2. Right?

That's not true in all cases. I have a Thermaltake SE 530 semi modular PSU and I'm happy with it. People say it's t4 but who cares? It's enough for almost any PC config, and it doesn't cost too much for a semi modular psu.

Then don't create a new post in forum why the reason, when your GPU start to fail or slowly dying. That GPU Tier list is built so that no one goes with a cheap quality parts & lost their precious Gaming Build because of PSU & regret later.
