Q. I am getting a gaming computer and the recommended watts is 645 but I can only choose a 1,000 watt or higher power supply unit. The psu I would be getting is a standard supply unit, not a brand name. Is this ok?
A. Buying a decent power supply is extremely important, buying a cheap budget PSU that only matches the requirements of your PC is a big risk.
If your PSU blows then you could damage some of the components in your PC as well.
On this occasion you may be ok, considering your purchasing a 1000watt power supply unit and your max usage is 650watt, that gives you a lot to play with even with a standard unit.
I would say it would probably be safe to use, but check the max output on the 12v rail, if it is less than the max draw from your Graphics card then you need a better PSU.
One thing to remember is that if your not buying an 80+ certified PSU then it will not be power efficient, meaning it will draw more power from your wall unit and your electricity bills will be higher than if you had an 80+ PSU.
Power supplies lose a lot of their power through heat, the more the unit draws the more heat is exhausted and the more wattage is wasted - this is where the 80+ certification comes in, if the unit is drawing 50% of its maximum then it will be at least 80% efficient with only 20% being lost to heat.
A non 80+ certified PSU will have no such efficiency rating guarantee.
The choice is yours!
