Can my PSU handle it?

lethalmaster117 · Apr 3, 2013

I am getting a 520 watt PSU. Here are the parts I'm considering:

Intel® - Pentium® 3.0GHz Processor G860

WD Blue 1 TB Desktop Hard Drive: 3.5 Inch, 7200 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64 MB Cache - WD10EZEX

Corsair Vengeance 8 GB ( 2 x 4 GB ) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) 240-Pin DDR3 Memory Kit for Core i3, i5, i7 and Platforms SDRAM CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9

Lite-On Super AllWrite 24X SATA DVD+/-RW Dual Layer Drive - Bulk - IHAS124-04 (Black) - Lite On

GIGABYTE GV-R785OC-1GD Radeon HD 7850 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

MSI FM2-A75MA-E35 FM2 AMD A75 (Hudson D3) SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

A quality 520 watt will do it fine but really there are some duds out there so which PSU are you getting? On top of that an INTEL CPU will NOT WORK in an AMD FM2 board!!!

Yes, it should power it fine, but as rollo59 said, the CPU won't work with that board. And why a 7850, with 8GB of RAM, and Pentium?

Ok thanks!
It's a Dynex and it's 59.99

Seems weird? Yeah it might be this is my first build so it may be a little wonkey

...don't buy the Dynex. That's a junk house brand.

I would recomend this PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028

It's a 600W Bronze, and it's only about $70. I guess It's alright to get a pentium, but I would recommend at least a Core i3, but either way you'll have plenty of room to upgrade with an LGA 1155 socket size.

Here's a good board: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157325
It's about $30 more, but it works with a core i5, and most i7 CPU's, and the Z77 chipset is great for upgrading.

EDIT: I put together a little wishlist: http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/TemporaryWishList.aspx?ChangeQty=0

Do you have Windows 7?
