    PSU sufficient enough?

    Hi people!

    I'm building a new rig for my gf ...
    nothing big, just for budget gaming ...

    i'm getting her an i5 ivy bridge cpu, 2x4gb of ram, a 660ti gpu and so on ^^

    what i would like to know is this:
    will this PSU: http://geizhals.at/584944 (Antec HCG 520) be sufficient enough to keep the system running?
    atm i've only planned for a HDD (1tb) but she's likely to add an SSD later on ... will it do the trick?

    Thanks in advance!

    That PSU will work great for that build.

    thanks for the quick answer
    i'm always a bit confused with PSUs

    i myself use an Antec HCG 750w in my rig, but i have 3 hdds, an old gtx460 as well as a 2nd generation i7 running ... ^^

    Yeah, that is more than enough for your build.
    Intel i5-3570K @ 4.7GHz | MSI Z77 Mpower | Noctua NH-D14 | Corsair Vengeance LP White 1.35V 8GB 1600MHz
    Gigabyte GTX 670 OC Windforce 3X @ 1372/7604MHz | Corsair Force GT 120GB | Silverstone Fortress FT02 | Corsair VX450

    Truth be told, 520W is technically more than what you'll need for that build, but a little wiggle room won't hurt.
