Power supply question.
I'm building a Gaming rig for as cheap as possible.
150$ cpu - video card - 50$ mobo . I checked the Newegg power supply chart and it says I should get 450w.
I can get a 80 certified 500w PSU for 40$ or a 600w non 80-cert psu for 30$.
Newegg.com - Diablotek DA Series PSDA600 600W ATX12V v2.2 Power Supply 30$
Newegg.com - COOLMAX ZX Series ZX-500 500W ATX12V v2.2 / EPS12V v2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply 40$
If my system really only pulls 450w, would the 500w work?
more importantly, even if the 600w only runs at 75 percent, it should work also right?
I dont have 50 bucks to blow on a PSU. Hardly 40.
Anyone know of a great PSU for cheap?
