    430w psu

    Hey guys, just looking for some input on a M-ITX build I am putting together. I was just wondering if the corsair CX builder series 430w would be enough ro power my system.

    I will be using; i5-3570k (At stock for now until I get a cooler that is decent enough), MSI GTX 660, 1 SSD, all running on the Asrock Z77E-ITX.

    Thanks in advance.

    A system with i5-3570k w/ GTX 670 DCUIIT draws only ~370w last I remember, so you should be good.

    Let me double check.

    Edit:

    Component Estimated Wattage
    Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor 9W - 77W
    Thermalright Silver Arrow CPU Cooler 5W - 10W
    ASRock Z77 Extreme4 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard 17W - 70W
    Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" 4W - 20W
    Crucial M4 256GB 2.5" Solid State Disk 1W - 5W
    Asus GeForce GTX 670 2GB Video Card 42W - 170W
    Total: 78W - 352W
    i7-6700k 4.2GHz | Gigabyte GTX 980 | 16GB Kingston HyperX | Intel 750 Series SSD 400GB | Corsair H100i | Noctua IndustialPPC

    Ok, thanks very much. If it doesn't work out then I will just have to bump it up to a 500w at some point.

    Thanks, I should be fine then considering the 660 uses less power than your 670 and I wont be using a HDD either.
