NitroNeo Posted September 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Oh yeah & i will be adding a DL DVD Writer soon which will be SATA so will 4 SATA connectors of the Corsair be enough for my above Rig ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPHA17 Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 ^^ Will you be upgrading this RIG sooner or later? Also, what is your budget for this purchase? I would suggest the following SMPS, Cooler Master GX450W (minimum, anything below this is not worth the price) Seasonic S12II 430W (reasonably balanced and efficient entry-level SMPS, restrictive if you want to upgrade down the line) Seasonic S12II 520W (Seasonic is a very well known OEM and still produces some of the finest in Corsair's line-up of SMPS) The Corsair SMPS that you have short-listed is not good. Avoid any cheap Indian brands in the SMPS department, in-fact even if you get one free, just throw away the internals (or use them as a cool paper-weight) and use the dabba to store stuff. Hope this helps, Cheerio! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NitroNeo Posted September 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Ok wont get the desi stuff but can you please be specific why that corsair vs550 is bad ? I read it can automatically control the power distribution to avoid load so isn't it a good thing ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NitroNeo Posted September 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 I have a budget of Rs.3500, i will buy a new rig when witcher 3 comes out or late next year, currently i do video convertion in HD on my PC so i was looking for at least 550w to handle the load Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your current PC will not draw in excess of ~340W, here is the maths. And your PC can do fine with a 450W SMPS too but if you are willing to invest more now, you can go for a ~520W -->650W Seasonic SMPS (modular / non-modular up-to you) and carry on with the same when you upgrade your RIG.
