Hi,
I just upgraded my PC to the following:
i3 4xxx+ Intel H87 motherboard, 1TB Seagate 7200 RPM drive, 1 Optical drive, 4GB DDR3 Ram
This PC will be used largely for programing, office work and watching movies. (Maybe kept on for days together )
The SMPS calculator pegged the PC at ~230W load (max)
I had an old VIP Gold SMPS 400W what I wanted to use - but i realized that its fan has jammed ( It was installed with the fan facing down in its old home [Im stupid, I know.] )
I dont plan on installing a graphic card. Another 640GB drive may be added soon.
I need a good power supply for this systems and am looking for recommendations. Should I go with another VIP GOLD 400W [1.6k]? Should it not be okay for such a modest configuration? Or are there any other SMPS I need to look at?
