PSU Question

[Dopefreshx]

Hey, i am getting a ton of new stuff for my pc within the next week or so. I currently have a 520w Seasonic PSU and have no idea if it will be enough to handle everything. Will be using a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 670 OC 2GB, i5 3570k (Overclocked very slightly) and a Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H Mobo.
Would rather not upgrade, but obviously if i have to that's cool.

Thankyou in advance.

did you try using a power calculator on New egg or Tigerdirect?

Those are full of crap. 520W is enough, here's a review:



i5-3570k ~120W, GTX 670 220W, Accessories 50W

And that 120W for the 3570K is only if you are overclocking it to the limit.

Ended up with 530w on newegg, not sure how much of a buffer they give.
I guess it can't really hurt anything, maybe just bottleneck it a tiny bit if everything's going hard out.

PSU can't bottleneck your system. It simply shuts down if the production is exceeded.

Which one did you order? I hope the Seasonic 520W. . .

Like the others have said, 520W will be fine for your system. SeaSonic is also a great PSU brand.

I already have a 520w seasonic lying around. Looks like it should be fine to use.
