What psu do I need?

[PP Mguire]

Those Antec 450 psu's get really good reviews, and they are priced low too, but even though they are efficient, they do not have an 80+ rating (passive PFC) and the cables are not sleeved. Still a very good power supply.

EVGA makes a decent 500w power supply (B version) for around $50. that rated 80+ bronze
Amazon.com: EVGA 500B 500W 80PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V/EPS12V 500W Power Supply 100-B1-0500-KR: Electronics

If it's that price for Canadians then go for the eVGA.

So the deal here is, If i want to upgrade in the future i should get a 500 watt PSU?

It's on sale today for $40.

Today the conversion is about $6.30 more than U.S. dollars

yes, a 500watt power supply would be in your best interest

Yes get the 500 watt psu while you have the money now.
Then you worry about getting a dedicated early next year between januarary to late feburary while online stores get rid of old products and restock for new items.
The great part about antec if the psu does kick out before you move on to a new build.
You'll get another one free of charge during the warranty.
Make sure antec or any other company can validate your proof of purchase.
Electronic receipt through email support is best for quick response times.

Are you planning on any future upgrades and are you planning on over clocking the computer? If not then like the previous person stated a 500w power supply would be sufficient. Around the same price range I would recomend the Corsair CX Series 500 Watt ATX/EPS Modular 80 PLUS Bronze ATX12V/EPS12V 456 Power Supply CX500M for about $64.99 Amazon.com: Corsair CX Series 750 Watt ATX/EPS Modular 80 PLUS Bronze ATX12V/EPS12V 744 Power Supply CX750M: Computers & Accessories

Over budget.

Over budget.

I took a look at your budget and you said $50.00 so I found a power supply that would give you the power you need plus room to grow.
Amazon.com: Sentey® Power Supply 625w Pc / Xpp625-ps Watt / 140mm Sleeve Bearing Fan / 12v Single Rail / 40amper / Pci-e X 2 / Sata X 4 / Molex X 4 / SLI Ready / Crossfire Ready / Robust 12v Single Rail / 4molex / Ul+fcc Certifications / 78% Efficien
Power supply is around $34.99 and its a 625w

This isn't my thread. The eVGA previously recommended would be a much better asset over that cheap Sentey.

78% efficient and Senty has a horrible reputation for rating their power supplies to be true
