oh, less then 50? You won't really find decent ones for price, unless you want less then 500 watts.

I want the correct amount of watts for the parts I have, that's why I posted them

Edit: There's a lot of ambiguity with wattage for parts, most of the detail views didn't say how many watts they used. I know that the processor is around 77W, and, the GPU uses about 130W

its 630 watts for 50, which is nice.

What are you smoking, I don't need 630 watts
Do you even know how many watts my parts use?

Always good to have extra watts.
Anyways, if you think someone is going to go through all those parts and find the best psu, then you must be high.

Well obviously not you

If I had more money I would buy a stuffload of extra stuff, including extra watts and more powerful components. The whole idea is to be on a budget, not just buy whatever the hell tickles my fancy

If I have a 500w PSU, and a GPU I want to get requires 460w or higher, does that mean I need 460 free unused watts for that card or just a PSU 460w or higher?

460, but its always better to get more watts to make sure everything gets enough, and it also increases performance quite a bit.

[Treynolds416]

460, but

You didn't answer his question

umad? He asked does he need 460 or more, and I answered. I also gave him advice.

[Treynolds416]

What?

You did give him helpful advice, but he wanted to know whether the psu needed to be 460 or to have 460 free, to which you replied '460'

[pecon98]

Treynolds, this would probably be a good PSU for you. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817189023
Yes, I actually looked through the parts. This PSU is very reliable since it's 80+ Certified, but you can get a much better price on something that is not 80+. If you're not so worried about the 80+ and want more watts for less (which will mean better performance to an extent), you could try the one Hellspot posted.

You have no idea what you are saying. This thread is for intelligent and helpful people.

No wonder you have a drama.

Except you were telling somebody to spend double what they needed on something that adds no extra bonus...
