My original plan was swap out the i3 with an used i7 sandy bridge but too bad out of my budget. So now focus on GPU first.

Thanks for the suggestion. How about HD7950? My psu can power it?

For you, better get a GTX960. PSU requirement very low only. AMD R9 series all of them are power hungry but very fast. I myself is an R9 290 user.

Hi all, sorry for double posting. Jus find out here is the right place to ask.
This is the cheapest Low end PSU I can find.
Thermotake Lite 450W
Using for office PC without dedicated graphic card.
PSU price abt rm135. 3 yrs warranty
Initially , I try find Antec VP400W but can't find in my area.

Is there Anymore cheaper alternative?

ic. So what do u recommend? care to share...

Ya I'm consider to build new rig I'm consider the cooler master vs 650watt or 750watt to go? 650watt rm37x include gst and the 750 is rm450 include gst if I wana buy a psu which should I go In future ?

wanna upgrade my PSU.
Seasonic X-650 and G-650, which one more stable, not much RMA problem?
how bout Leadex Gold 650W 80+ Full Modular?

G-650 is one tier lower but cheaper. Both Seasonic X-650 and Super Flower Leadex 650W is top notch, comes at a price.

saw u are using X series, heard that X alot problem, dont know true or not. 

wow, u are using G-550, how is it? look ur spec also high-end, can support HD7950?
Seasonic G-550 semi modular, right? saw jonnyguru having 9.2 score, so nice.

My PC spec:
CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1230 v2
MB：Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 socket1155
RAM: Kingston DDR3 8GB 1600mhz KVR16N11/8 X 2 unit (16GB RAM)
SSD: Intel 120GB SSD 320 series
HHD: WD 1TB Blue Hardisk
DVD：Liteon DVDRW ROM
Sound: ASUS Xonar Essence STX PCIe Sound Card
VGA: Sapphire HD 6750 1GB DDR5

using 4-5 years old Acbel 510W PSU, already old model.
wanna upgrade my VGA card to R9 380 or GTX 970, and look for single +12V rail. 

ur Seasonic G 550 80+ Gold are semi modular? 

Seasonic, sounds like a cheapo brand, but actually very decent. People are recommending it because of the 5 years warranty?

Thinking of buying a superflower leadex platinum 750W, is it a good PSU?

I see that the PCIe cables are single cable with two 6+2 pin connectors.

Would it be safe to use only a single cable to power up a 980ti or need to have two cables and use one connector from each cables?

Hi, how is the quality of superflower leadex silver 650w ?
any advice for this ?
Thx. ^.^

Hi all sifus like goldfries,

I have some confusion on power efficiency and power factor.

for the sake of example, if my PC is drawing 500Watts constantly, lets say my PSU is 80% efficiency, i will draw 600watts from AC then convert it into 500watts DC right. then if lets say my PSU power factor is only 0.5, then i will draw 1200 apparent power (in form of VA) from mains, though i will be only using 600watts as work done.

so in TNB point of view, TNB only charges for watts or work done, therefore only charge me the 600watts, and since residential rate doesnt have Power Factor surcharge, im done with that. but if im on commercial, the charging will be 600 watts + 3% surcharge (according to TNB, less than 0.85 PF will get 3% surcharge).

and in short, Power Efficiency is used for DC, while Power Factor is used for AC to gauge the efficiency

am i correct?

Thanks

Hi guys, what do you think of this.

PSU: Cooler Master v650
CPU: AMD FX6350
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P
GPU: R9 Nano

And I'm planning on adding another Gigabyte GV-N980G1 GAMING-4GD. Do you think the PSU is able to support the addition?

hi guys,

planning to built SFF rig
here my spec:

CPU: i5 6500
Mobo: Asrock H110M-ITX
RAM: 8GB DDR4
No GPU (if want to upgrade in future maybe to nvidia gtx *50 or gtx *60)

i think this rig would not require too much power.
so can recommend me any good psu that can last long?
budget : below RM200 (lower is better)

planning to use either themaltake core v1 or CM 110

or can u suggest smaller casing with around the price range?

SST SFX PSU.
