Silverstone 450W sfx need your feed back

[Rob_the_scot]

Iv been looking at the Silverstone 450w sfx gold modular psu mostly due to its size Plus with my matx build the current psu I'm using is bit of a monster and cables are a B*tch to hide

My specs are
i5 3450 3.10ghz
4 sticks of ram at 1600mhz
2 x ssd
gtx 660 (none ti)
pci wireless card
1x180mm fan
2x120mm fan
2x92mm fan

According to psu calculator I need 380w psu at 100 peak load will I be safe buying the Silverstone sfx

Here is a a pic of my build using the larger psu and yes its a in a sugo sg09

You should be fine with it yes.
However, you could always go for the 500w strider:

with the short cable kit:

Or the short cable kit would probably work with the 450w too I think.

It's up to you. Power wise, you'd be fine with either. But I'd personally go with the ATX PSU so when you upgrade it can still be used.

psu calculator is trash. here is linus making a build i5 + gtx 670 with the same psu /watch?v=dWAeZYB9DGg + test. and i think that you can see on many sites now how much W a pc uses. your will use less than 200W in games.you can even put a 680 on that psu no problemo.so don`t worry.the reccomandation for gtx 660 from nvidia is TRASH 450W psu,couse not everyone uses 80+ power supplies.
