I'm considering which power supply would suit my build best, comparing the FSP HEXA HE500 Eff>80% 500w and the Thermaltake LitePower 500w. My system specs include an Intel Core i3 3220 at 3.3ghz, MSI H61M-P31 with a 16GB RAM module, a RipJaws 8gb SSD, a PC with two DDR5 modules, and storage drives. I also have a 500gb Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm drive. Which option would work well and last longer?
your running CF?
i inquire since there might not be sufficient power! how many connectors for power does that card require? and what amps will it need? i'm not sure if either of these options will work...
7750 is a 55-watt component
7770 is an 80-watt unit
i3 is also a 55-watt part
Consider adding 50 watts for all other components, bringing your total to around 250 watts maximum draw. Remember, this would only occur if every part of the PC is under full load. I’d opt for the most affordable gold-rated PSU in the 350-400 watt range.
The calculator is incorrect. It tends to overestimate too much.
