430W psu enough?

Yusuf Demirel · Jul 29, 2013

Hey guys, this is my build: http://azerty.nl/winkelmandje/winkelmandje/?legen=1&product%5B511065%5D=1&product%5B582385%5D=1&product%5B554020%5D=1&product%5B425856%5D=1&product%5B496928%5D=1&product%5B613106%5D=2&product%5B576626%5D=1

So my question was, will a 430W psu be enough for this build?

And another quick question: Should I get an extra 120mm fan for my gpu? Or should I just get a front fan and use it with the exaust fan (comes with case)?

Nopes. Definitely not.

With that GPU you should have at least 600W PSU (550W would do just fine though). 430W is too low.

And yes, Twin Frozr does not need another fan. Its strong enough to dissipate heats at the clock speeds of MSI. You may add if you want, but its not required. Front fan is also not required. But you can add if your case supports.

But the i3 only uses 55W and the gpu uses about 150W (let's say 200W). That's about 255W. So there is 175W left for all the other components. Isn't that enough?

no it will be fine acutaly because with your cpu iti sa 55w cpu and a 660 since it is a single 6 pin will comsumer 75w from the 6 pin and 75w from the pci slot meaning its max power consumption is 150w and 150+55=205 leaving plenty from the rest

Yes, that PSU is PLENTY to power that build. In a test system with a much more power-hungry CPU, the whole system doesn't even pull 300w AC:
