What PSU

WiryRocketeer · 16 May 2010 at 18:21

What would be the bare minimum power supply for this setup:

XFX HD 5850 AVP Edition,
Intel i3 530,
1 HDD,
1 Optical Drive,
2x2GB 1600Mhz DDR3 Ram.

I have a maximum budget of £45 (MAXIMUM!!!)
and it has to be 1 x 24-pin ATX main power connector for my motherboard and 1 x 4-pin ATX 12V power connector..

one of the corsair 400w psu's would be enough to cope with that but wouldn't leave any headroom for future additions

Don't buy a cheap nasty one - as Chipps said get the CX 400 from corsair. But why you got a 5850 with i3... going to be clocking its socks off? Why not save money on the GPU and get i5?

Have a look for the Be Quiet 530W Pure Power PSU.
