Quick PSU Question

jaketuricchi · 27 Nov 2012 at 20:45

Would a 430W Cossair PSU be fine with the 7850 gpu and i5 3750K?

Ive heard both ways. If not, can someone suggest a good, reliable one sub £35?

The PSU would be fine, but does the gpu need dual power connectors as you might need to use some adapters.

see im really quite a beginner and hoping people can help me with things like that because this is my first build and i have like no expertise

,

how would I find this out?

ps im looking more at a power and cooling systems rather than the 430w cossair now

thanks

Ah Pc Power & Cooling PSU

What is the make and model of the GPU your looking at?

I had a quick look most use 1 x 6 pin power which the Corsair has, the PC Power and cooling is a superior PSU.

Yeah, as for the PC Power & cooling PSU, would this sort of psu mean avoiding buying a cooling component for the system?

Thanks for the help and sorry for the retardedness

You will still need to attach a heatsink to your CPU with a fan and have a case which supplies a intake and extract fan - this is pretty normal on most cases

Don't worry about the questions were here to help
