Hi once again.
Will EZCool 700 Watt Modular Quiet PC Power Supply PSU 700W gonna be good enough for 560Ti ? Or could you name some other PSU which wouldn't cost more then 45 quid and would work with 2500K, 4GB ram and 560Ti.
Also which 560Ti would be better and more capable for overclocking, Asus 560Ti or MSI N560GTX-Ti Twin Frozr II
I searched google for this info and also looked on this forum but i didn't really found answers for my questions, or i just didn't understood them :)
Thank you.
 
That is to much over my budget :( I found Asus GTX 560Ti for 155 and i would like to buy psu for 45 quid. So in total it's 200 well, max of 210 but 100% not more.
 
At the end of the day, the power supply could easily be argued to be the most important part of your computer, so it is worth spending the extra £20 now so that you don't get stuck with a bill for a new supply later.

If you must stick to a £45 to £55 budget then how about:

OR, if you absolutely must come in around £45:

bear in mind the second one isn't 80plus certified, but that does make it cheaper
 
Are you paying P+P on that GTX560ti? if so why not get a PSU from the same place and reduce your P+P costs?

Or how about a overclocked GTX560ti for £150 - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BG-226-GI

Then you can buy a PSU from OCUk also and its cheaper than two lots of P+P?

I'm afraid you're not going to get a decent PSU for that price. To too many people, the PSU is an afterthought that is considered after all the other components are chosen. You have to think of the PSU as the heart of your computer, sure it doesn't do a very glamourous job, but if you get a good PSU that provides stable power with a low ripple you can trust on it to do it's job for many upgrades to come. Choose a bad PSU and you could be faced with coil whine, dangerously high ripple, under/overvolting and a premature death which often takes other components with them.

This is the only PSU I can think of in that price range that is made by a half-decent brand:

Rule number 1 of building a PC- NEVER skimp on a PSU!
 
seems the op enjoys the 'cheap' psus as from the previous thread has a icute 500w, was adviced by me and a few others to upgrade it but seems has gone from one cheap psu to another.

I don't want to get cheap, i just don't have the budget for something around 70 or around that.
I found OCZ ZS 650 power supply for 59 quid with free PP
So in total it's 155 for Asus GTX 560Ti + 59 for 650W OCZ PSU = 214
Would you say that that's a good deal?
And as i wrote in first post which card would you suggest? Asus or MSI?
 
So for £1.99 more you could get that Gigabyte card which is clocked higher on the core and the same psu from ocuk?

Is that gigabyte much better then MSI or Asus?
 
You got the wrong PSU in there;) the 550w is the one.

The Gigabyte is 900MHz on the core, what is the ASUS?
 
Asus 830
msi 822
So gigabyte is much better.
Also, PSU is right, i said above that i can get 650W psu for 59 pounds not 550W one :)
550W is for 52 pounds :)
Anyway, just talked to my wife and it seems that i will not going to buy nothing for next couple of months... :mad::mad:
 
Sorry for double post, but as i really can't buy a new PSU now for 70 quid i found OCZ 520W on auction and good buy it now price.
The model is: OCZ-520ADJ
Will it work with 560Ti?
As for example on newegg is say:
Maximum Power: 620 Watts
Sustained Power: 520 Watts
OCZ PowerWhisper Technology, OCZ PowerFlex™ individually adjustable power rails with LED indicators. OCZ ConnectAll universal connector. OCZ PowerShield power leads for VGA and HD.

Or what about: OCZ 500sxs 500W ?
Or about: OCZ 700SXS 700W ?
:D
So i would say if you are saying that 550 is enough and this PSU give maximum of 650 then it should be more then enough. Or i am wrong? :(:rolleyes:

550w is enough, but only from a good PSU.

Or what about: OCZ 500sxs 500W ?
Or about: OCZ 700SXS 700W ?

Is that SXS or SXS2? but these are better than the OCZ-520ADJ
