Legen psu giving 450W running this system, i5 1st gen, 4 gb ram 1333, r270x 2gb 128 bit ddr3. All this accumulates to 450w so was my psu adequate or should i buy a larger one now since 450 broke?

eh....
If you're going through upgrade in the near future, then yeah its a good excuse to upgrade the PSU before anything else. lel
I'll just leave it here...
Get a 500W 80+ PSU If you wanna get up to date :p

And if you want for goozare ka liye, then You can get a cheap branded one (NOT RECOMMENDED)

I found one 600W cooler master, it might be RS or GX not sure yet, the guy told me 6000. Is the price legit? for a new 600W psu?

I Do not recommend CM PSU's.
They have a name for running out quick with our kind of electricity (if you know what i mean) ;).
But, I'd have you look for the following
Corsair VS550W ~ 6000Rs
Xigmatek Tauro 500W ~ 6000Rs

These two will be found easily in the market.
They are quality ones.
So dont question their glory. :{



But, theres another option for you if you dont have plans for a whole revamp for a new rig.
Then get the following

Corsair VS450W 5000Rs (only 1K ki Bachat)


I still recommend the VS550 and Xigmatek one though.

Thats not a bad choice as well.
However, its used so you'll need to buy it with a risk.


You should still get Xigmatek Tauro as its a more up to date unit to time compared to that thermal take one.

Plus its a new glory unit :{


Choice is yours,
If you're hard on budget, get that used.
Or a new shiny angel called Xigmatek Tauro!

i'll recommend a new psu (i have experienced Too Much, My R9 290 Died Because of a Used PSU). Buy Xigmatek Tauro it's Good as [MENTION=93260]GloriousChicken[/MENTION] and others said (y).

If your budget is tight then you can also buy from a reliable seller of pg by the name of [MENTION=9364]bachelor[/MENTION], he's got some fine psu's.

Thank you all for the help and advice, i appreciate the effort :)

FUEL2009's guy bachelor has these for sale: VIEW THREAD

I personally just want to weigh all options, i need money for other upgrades and stuff too but i need my psu running perfectly as i need heavy rendering and i play games on tri-screen setup. Will any of these above be a good option or should i finalize the Tauro?

One of the most important factors that needs to be observed while buying a psu is its peak 'ambient temp' at which it can deliver the watts that its claiming to deliver.In a hot country like ours its a very crucial feature.Try to find one which can deliver the watts in 50c ambient temp.
