~$80 PSU that will run 5850. Will a corsair VX450 run a 5850 in the rig below? If not can you guys recommend some PSU's that can and is <$80. THX |
I am going to second the TX750W I have always trusted my power to corsair, in fact right now I am using there Professional series HX850W 850W. |
750W+ for a single 5850 is overkill, unless you're looking for some future-proofing against adding an extra GPU. A good 450W would likely be perfectly fine, but the VX450 only comes with a single PCI-E connector (the 5850 needs two). Grab the VX550W and you'll be laughing. Price match it at NCIX to whoever's got the best price. |
If you can, NCIX has the Antec Quartto (both 1000W and 850W) on sale now for quite cheap. I know its overkill and maybe over budget, but what the hell, its 1000W. :). You can Crossfire later :thumb: |
Are OCZ's psus any good? I'm looking at the modXstream 600W and the 700W ones. THX |
Honestly, I'd stay clear of them. They'll work, but they're definitely known for high voltage ripple, and I've seen a few too many threads involving systems with long-term problems on their account. A budget is a budget, but if your system deserves a 5850, it deserves a decent PSU as well. |
Would something like this do NCIX.com - Buy BFG GS-550 550W Power Supply ATX V2.2 EPS12V Active PFC 20/24PIN 6PIN & 8PIN PCI-E 140MM Fan - BFGR550WGSPSU In Canada. seems to be a decent psu |
You should buy my Antec 650w Tru Power Trio is what you should do. PM me if interested. |
