Which PSU ?

[Revolution]

Please help guys !
My brother is planning to buy a new video card next month.
May be Ati HD 5670(Rs.5500/-) or Nvidia GTS250(512MB@6500/-,1GB@7000/-).

Current Sys:
Intel C2D E4500 2.2GHz(No OC)
XFX 630i Motherboard
2x2GB DDR2 RAM
2 SATA HDDs
1 DVD+RW
2x120mm fans
Samsung 22" HD LCD.

He want overall better PSU.
He will buy locally.
He is confused between three PSUs from Corsair.

Corsair VX450W @Rs.3900/-
Corsair VX450W @Rs.5150/-
Corsair HX650W @Rs.7500/-

Thanks.....

VX450 is plenty.

 

[Rifter]

yeah the 450 should be fine for either of those cards and that system.

I agree with the other two people. The CORSAIR VX450 is a great option for you.
On the other hand, I would go for the GTS250. Anyway, if your brother is a gamer, take a look at the ATI 5770. It performs very well and its price is not too high.

Sorry,Ati 5770(Rs.9500/-) is beyond budget and its overpriced in India.
Actually all video card are over priced that US or Europe.....
Yep,my brother is a gamer.
But,unfortunately he is playing MMORPG cos he don't have any good video card.

Yep,prices from local shop of at Kolkata.


BTW,I have some question.
1.How much load(%) is best for longer life and high efficiency for a PSU ?He may be upgrade his CPU(Athlon II X4 635 2.9GHz or Core i3 530 2.93GHz) later so
450W would be enough ?

2.Corsair VX450W has only one pci 6pin connector.But I don't know GTS250 have 6pin or 8pin or single or double power connector.So,I will be facing any problem for that?Even I heard that different card has different connector and different GTS250 got different connector too.Am I wright ?

A PSU usually achieves its highest efficiency when delivering between 40% and 60% of its maximum wattage.
The GTS250 needs one 6-pin PCIe connector. However, there are some OC editions that require two 6-pin PCIe connectors. It depends on the model.

Nice review database you have there. Helpful

The VX450 has enough power for your brother's system AND the one he wants to upgrade to at the same time.

So,Corsair VX450W will provide good efficiency for this system ?
BTW,6pin or 8pin power connector doesn't matter if the PSU can provide enough power and good stable current at 12V rail ?
I mean If we buy any video card in future which have 2x6pin or 8pin power connector but that required same watt as GTS250 then VX45OW will handle it easily ?
