Will this PSU work with my graphics card?

Also, is this a good set up? I want to stay away from overclocking and don't want to go over $900.

The main reason I'm worried is because the graphics card needs a 6-pin and an 8-pin connector? Will my PSU be able to do this?

yes it has 2 6+2 connectors, and the power is enough. For the price, its an okay psu

That PSU will be fine.Also see if you can squeeze in a SSD in this build.

Its not a very good PSU. Coolermaster is crap when it comes to PSUs. Stick with antec, XFX, Corsair, Seasonic.

600w will be plenty for this build.

Also, drop the CPU cooler because you cannot overclock that CPU.

I didn't think I needed a CPU cooler but someone else told me otherwise. Do you have any suggestions for a different PSU that is a decent price?

tiny voices :

this psu is a usable psu and is a very good deal for only $50. Don't just blindly say "XFX CORSAIR SEASONIC"
However, if you can spend more, it wouldn't hurt to get this : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151096 even though its not necessary.

here is a review: http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/5539/cooler-master-i700-700-watt-80-plus-bronze-power-supply-review/index5.html

also cpu coolers are not just for overclocking..... Why wouldn't you want your cpu to run cool without sounding like a jet engine?

I see no need for a CPU cooler here. I used the stock intel cooler and it is not loud like everyone says.

I would get a 550w XFX PSU. VERY good quality for the price. Basically can't beat it.

Are you sure 550w would be enough?

tiny voices · Aug 23, 2013

Guaranteed it is more than enough. You can get he xfx650 if you want to feel safer.

The gtx760 will suck 160w MAX under full 100% load. you could technically run this system on a 400w PSU and have no problems. The xfx550 will be more than enough.
