Power supply for 3770 OC to 4.1Ghz, SSD, HD, Nvidia 730 or onboard graphics

[DarrenM343]

Hey,
I'm currently using a 850w power supply but going to retire the machine to either Linux or just general playing about with so going to remove the quality power supply (Seasonic Platinum) to use in my new PC when I build it.

What power supply will be fine for the following?
3770K running at 4.1Ghz, 1xSSD, 1xHD, Nvidia 730 or onboard graphics(probably onboard if I only use a 1200p monitor with it.

I was thinking 450watt?

A 450W PSU should be sufficient, but get a decent unit like the superflower golden green 450W.

P.S. My internet is majorly lagging out right now, so I can't post the link right now.

I doubt if that system would even hit 150w fully loaded. Some psu's to consider:-

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x XFX XT Series 400W 80 Plus Bronze Power Supply= £31.99
• 1 x XFX XT Series 500W 80 Plus Bronze Power Supply= £36.95
• 1 x Super Flower FX 450W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply - Black= £42.95
• 1 x Seasonic S12II 350W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply= £38.99
• 1 x Antec VPF450 450W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply= £42.95
• 1 x be quiet! System Power 7 450w '80 Plus Silver' Power Supply= £44.99
• 1 x Super Flower Golden Green HX 350W "80 Plus Gold" Power Supply - Black= £45.95
• 1 x Super Flower Golden Green HX 450W "80 Plus Gold" Power Supply - Black= £51.95

​

The pair of XFX units are Seasonic designed but not built by them and have single 12v rails of 360w and 480w and a 5 year warranty.

The Superflower FX450 has a single 408w 12v rail and a 3 year warranty.

The Superflower Golden Green HX units have single 12v rails of 348w and 444w and both have a 5 year warranty.

The Seasonic S12II 350w has a single 324w 12v rail and a 5 year warranty.

The Antec VPF450 is a Delta built unit with 420w across dual 12v rails and a 3 year warranty.

The Bequiet System Power 7 is a FSP built unit with 432w across dual 12v rails and a 3 year warranty.

Thanks for the input. I'll likely go with the Superflower HX 350 or 450. I think 350 will be enough.

More than enough. You could easily run your pc with a GTX960 off a 350w psu.
