Whoops Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 I would get as high as possible, is he going to play games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted September 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Yeh he is going to play games... his current PSU is 230w and his system runs games ok... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiuart Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 (edited) Would go with COOLER MASTER or AEROCOOL , (OCZ - if you are into brands) If you say that he has 230 at this moment , and that it works OK - I would go with 350 max. Especially if it will be from those companies. ( I remember when I used 230W , and now ... 650 - 800 ) Edited September 17, 2011 by Stiuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wash Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 I'd be going for any Corsair power supply, they're very good quality and will last a life time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoS Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 remember, it's not always about the highest warttage, it's what it can give stabely across the rails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted September 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 we bought a corsair 450w PSU, gonna fit it into his pc tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiuart Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 remember, it's not always about the highest warttage, it's what it can give stabely across the rails I know , but 230W (or even 450W) PSU wont handle my PC when only GPU needs/demands 500W , so thats why 650W is a minimum in my case - and thats why I need so much "W". (After adding CPU and rest I realised ... I need minimum of 700W ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
