Recommend a PSU for Pentium 4 + Sapphire Radeon HD5450

4 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/recommend-a-psu-for-pentium-4-sapphire-radeon-hd5450.154183/

I've just upgraded my old Pentium 4 with a Sapphire Radeon HD5450 graphics card. I also have a DVD-RW, a CD-RW, and two HDDs. I'm on a Gigabyte G41M-Combo mobo.

I have a terrible PSU by my local techie (iBall JSW-252 - sorry).

Which PSU should I get ?

BTW, I'm happy with the Pentium 4 for the moment. For basic tasks, its adequate.

I think your present PSU should work as 5450 has very low power consumption.
But if you want to change the PSU then buy a Corsair CX430V2

keep your current PSU. it'll work.

Op has a 250W PSu which +12v amp rating must be low and old P4s ( 775 socket based ) ain't a power efficient cpu - so he better get a new PSu IMO .. even a cheap one like FSP Saga II 350W / 400W Corsair VS450 will do just fine ;-)
