What is the maximum Wattage PSU needed for the parts below
Core I3 2120 3.3 GHZ
Foxconn 2ABF Mobo
Gtx 950 2GB
128 GB SSD
500 GB HDD
8 GB DDR3 RAM
(and would this setup run fine as in no lag spikes or bottlenecks)
Thanks!
as to power supply, I’d be getting at least 650watts, 80+ Gold certified with at least 5 year warranty.
any brand that has that is worth getting.
if you think you’d be adding more devices, components or upgrading the graphics card down the track, think about getting a 850watt or so.
as to lags and bottlenecks - you have a 2nd gen i3 processor, small SSD, small HDD and a vintage motherboard that only supports 8GB max RAM, SATAII not SATAIII, USB2 not USB3, DDR3 not DDR4, old PCI-x bus lanes, the older 1155 processor socket, an old H61 chipset, no extra 4 or 8 pin CPU power header, for starters - not that there is anything wrong with any of that, BUT, it does mean that any upgrade path will have limitations and playing modern games on a 8’ish year old processor WILL have speed issues.
(sorry to rain all over your parade)
No Problem! I dont really play modern games the games I play rn run fine and I have yet to even buy a GPU I just want a bit better performance for the games I already play on my Intel HD 4000 (lol) and Im not that heavy of a “gamer” anyway, also Thank you for clarryfying I appreciate it! Hope you have a nice day
