[MEGATHREAD] Personal Computer - Updated builds thanks to Logical Increments

What the forget that's not how power supplies work. The wattage is the maximum output power that the PSU can supply, not what it draws from the wall. The 80 plus certification just refers to how efficiently it can convert AC power to DC power. Any power supply worth its salt silicon can and should be able to deliver it's full rated power, even though it might not be healthy in the long run.

And no, you don't need to upgrade your power supply, what you have now should be fine.

Why does it bother you so much?

just trying to understand why you're making bad financial decisions

[Georges]

Would I be able to still use it though? I don't have money for a new PSU.

Um, the iirc the R7 260x is just a rebranded HD 7790, which is what I think you already have, right?

this one is 2gb and a little faster. Mine is 1gb

Lmao you literally must not have read what I said before.

I need a PC for school, I'm going to school SOON. Also music. I can get a car at any time and it isn't exactly needed right now.

Either way, it's none of your business how I handle my money. It's my money, not yours. I wouldn't give a stuff if you bought ten bags of human starfishs instead of a form of transportation because it's your money and therefore none of my business.

So chill.

I was referring to what Jubel said, although I still don't see where your 360W number came from. Either way your PSU should be fine (I'm assuming it's a VP450), although I don't know why you'd spend $100 on a graphics card that's only marginally better than what you already have.

450 * 80 = 36000
36000/100 = 360W

I'm not spending that much on it, I'm giving my current 7790 1gb to my sister in exchange for this new one. Plus I'll be paying her the difference, which isn't much.

No, that's not how things work, the efficiency has nothing to do with how much power you can use, it only affects how much power the PSU needs to make that power. For example, if your PSU is 80% efficient at a load of 450W that means it will use 450 / 0.8 = 560W from the wall socket at that load level.

Do you guys approve of my new keyboard? (It's a Steelseries Apex)
