Solution S S subasteve5800 Jul 31, 2013 Depends on the exact PSU but probably not. AMD's website recommends a 500W or better.

Onus Titan Jan 27, 2006 37,037 12 89,965 Jul 31, 2013 #6 When I see "420W," I think Apevia / Aspire, and their units are maybe good for 250W, so absolutely not! OTOH, a 380W Antec Earthwatts, or 450W Antec VP-450, 450W Rosewill Capstone, or other quality PSUs around 380W-450W would be fine for your build. Upvote 0 Downvote
