Hello
Need A new PSU (for Cheap)
Ive Currently Got A 300w Microatx and Im upgrading
I Dont Know What PSU I Should Get
Currently Ive got:
An Intel D915GAG mobo
1 Optical Drive
1 HDD
No Graphics Card (mobo VGA out)
An Intel Celeron D 2.8ghz Processor
Microatx Case
512RAM

And I Am Getting A:
Ati 5770 Graphics Card
Second Optical Drive
Second Hdd (1tb)
And 4gb RAM

And I Dont Think My PSU Is Going To Have Enough Grunt To Power it
Can Someone Recomend A PSU That Is Right For My Needs
Thx, Lilclungy:chk:
 
I have a friend running it on the 400W 80% efficient power supply fine, you dont need to go overkill on it but make sure you get a good brand, im not familiar with microatx but im guessing its a smaller power supply so the ATX probably wont fit, but if any will do id probably get the Corsair CX 400W or the OCZ StealthXStream 500w both are good and with 3 year warranty you cant go wrong.

If you dont mind spending a little extra, try get a SFF Case, its a smaller case but uses a standard ATX power supply slot, and are you sure the 5770 will even fit ? Some of the newer cards are chunky, i had problems fitting a 8600GT in my older computer nvm the 5770 :D which i assume was micro atx as it was made by hp.

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW MUCH POWER THIS WILL TAKE TO RUN AND IS IT POSSIBLE WITH A MICRO-ATX PSU

i dont realy want to have to get an STANDARD-ATX CASE because it costs a fair bit of $$$$$

Thx, Lilclungy
