would this rig work
Sapphire Radeon HD 7850
8GB Crucial Ballistix Ram
i3 3220 3.3GHz Dual Core
500GB Seagate Barracuda
GA-Z77-DS3H LGA1155
Aerocool X-Predator X1 Gaming Case

All powered by a CX500 500W PSU

Solution


The i3-3220 won't bottleneck a 7850. The CX500 is OK to run a 7850 but you're better going with a Seasonic 520W.

I think I'm gonna go with the CX500 because I have a tight budget, but before i do I just want to clarify, are you 100% that it will be fine or will it be risky?

Never save 10 $ on a psu.
The psu is the most inportant component in your system. Buying a cheap psu can kill your system.
As g unit posted go with the seasonic 520w.
It will 100% work
