silencedotmid Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 What's your graphics card? If it's a strong card or otherwise requires a lot of power, 430 watts is not gonna be enough. 650 watts gives you a safe overhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silencedotmid Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I have a GeForce 750 ti It's a good thing that card has really good efficiency. 430 will be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeMcCoolName Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I have a GeForce 750 ti It's a good thing that card has really good efficiency. 430 will be enough. 300w would even be enough (although 430-500w is usually the sweet spot in terms of price/performance). Corsair/EVGA usually offer the cheapest (and decent) options.

I was also gonna order a 650 B but idk I would recommend switching that to an i5+h81 board instead if you don't already have the motherboard (also, what motherboard are you planning on running that 8350 on) as it would be better for most tasks -- the exception being rendering/virtualization.

I already have a 300w PSU and the 750ti, i dont know what motherboard i have but i know it will fit the new video cards im getting. I just want to know if a evga 430w is enough to run both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you have a high end AM3+ board that FX8 is likely going to cause problems or underclock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
