Koger Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I've been thinking about getting an i5 4460. Currently my PSU is a Corsair VS450 450w. My current setup is : i3 3210 , 4 GB of RAM , 1 TB HDD , GTX 750 Ti OC. Would the PSU be able to handle the exact same system but with an i5 4460 instead of the i3 3210 ? Oh and don't worry about the socket of the i5 4460 . I already got a 1150 mobo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoječ Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Sure it would, this rig wouldn't need more than ~200W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koger Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 Did I mention that my GTX 750 Ti uses around 90-100 w ? How's that going to change the situation ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoječ Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) As I said, you'll bo more than fine Besides, most GTX750Tis use around 60-70W under typical load. Edited December 10, 2014 by yojo2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sivispacem Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I've got an overclocked 680 and power hungry AMD processor that's also overclocked. At gaming load my draw is round about 350w.

Koger Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 Thanks ! Should I consider getting an i7 4790k or is that already pushing it a little ? I just don't want to have baked PSU for dinner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sivispacem Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Pointless over an i5 for gaming.

yoječ Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 The PSU wouldn't be an issue, but as sivispacem said - barely any game benefits from extra threads that i7 gives. Koger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utack Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Pretty sure the 750 Ti is the limit far any game with a Haswell i5. And even if you upgrade it, even the newest cards barely benefit from an i7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
