New Build(NEED HELP!)

[sephiroth_749]

I just managed to pick up on a old computer build and i already have the psu for it and wonder if i could get some help putting new hardware in it if possible

The power supply is

http://www.ocztechnology.com/ocz-550w-fatal1ty-series-power-supply.html

I dont think its 80 plus ceritfied because its the older model

I already have 2 led fans and 2 cold cathodes was hoping someone could suggest hardware that this psu can run now days

you can run...

2400-2500 i5
GTS/X 460

should be good to go...

i wouldnt plan on overclocking or having a more powerful GPU

 

[sephiroth_749]

nah i dont plan on doin any overclocking just want the stongest hardware the psu can handle without killing it thanks for the reply

 

[CharMz]

Yep, go with a

GTX 460
i5 2500
4GB DDR3 1600
SSD, if you want
HDD

and your set, 550w is good to go, your just limited as in 1 GPU, and what i said above

560Ti is like 150W 2500K is 95W SSD/HDD/fans/RAM is only another <50W or so. You could get away with more than a 460.

As long as you are only using one video card and that one is somewhat less than the most potent thing out there these days you shouldn't have to worry much about overtaxing that PSU. High end video cards are by far the most power hungry items in a computer box.
