Will a Cosair CX500 Watt PSU work well with these components?

DylanT · Oct 21, 2013

Video Card AMD Radeon HD 7770
CPU: AMD FX 6300
MOBO: [CrossFireX] GIGABYTE GA-970A-DS3P
MEMORY: 8GB (4GBX2) DDR3/1600MHZ DUAL CHANNEL
CASE: Cooler Master Elite 431 Mid-Tower Gaming Case
OPTICAL DRIVE 1TB SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 32MB Cache 7200RPM HDD
^ (Don't think is necessary lol)
PSU: Cosair CX500 Watt

I don't know if I should switch it with a 600 Watt Or just leave it the same.

I don't plan on playing BF3 or Overclocking If those are the questions you will be asking. c:

Thanks

It'll be good. But it's recommended that you go for the 600W to make some good headroom and have a quieter PSU fan. Also, I think that optical drive you listed is an HDD.

Aaayron :

Ok so i will change to the 600w but everything else on the build is good correct?

As system with the H7770 needs a 500W psu minimum with 19amps on the +12v rail.

Corsair makes great PSUs, but their CX lineup is entry level. You can get better quality for the same price.

I'd recommend this one for you
$49.99 XFX 550W PRO550W Core Edition
It's made by Seasonic, arguably the best PSU maker there is right now.

My only complaint about the XFX above is, it's not modular. If you want a good modular one, then I'd recommend:
Antec HCG-620M at $59.99 after mail in rebate. It is also made by Seasonic.
