I wonder if 450W is enough....?

[akay877]

So, i've been thinking if the 450W PSU that came with the Raidmax Sagitta cases is enough for my spec.

Asus P5B
E6550
2x1GB corsair XMS2 PC6400
8800GT
250GB HD (seagate)
DVDRW
maybe a couple of other cards..

i read some reviews and articles and surely i found that 450W is more than enough for my spec, but i'm bit worried. I'm no tech guy or whatsoever and had no slightest idea of the volt the amp the what W things. So the thing is, Is that cheap PSU is enough or should i go for a better one (say cooler master real power or something)

Get something better. Bundled Raidmax PSUs are terrible quality, and the +12V@21A that that PSU advertises (even assuming it can live up to it) is inadequate for an 8800GT.

Awh! thanx dude... That clear my mess. So... i read your article for PSU recommendation by card and for 26A, what should i get? Antec 430W maybe?

get a 600w psu so you can power everything to it's complete maximum and is future proof if you sli or something.

whats your budget? You don't wanna crap out on the power supply that's for sure.

i put up a budget of 60-70$ dollar for the PSU, but i'm willing to spend 100$ if necessary.

As always, my entire list of recommendations is located at http://www.computerforum.com/90117-ceewi1-s-psu-recommendations.html. Personally, I'd grab the Corsair VX550 (just over your ideal price, after rebate) although even the VX450 is sufficient power. Antec's EA500W is also incredibly good value after rebate, and provides ample power and good quality. A superb choice if you want to save some money.
