How much power does my pc build need?

XdbodzX · Dec 28, 2013

I have this build (shown below)

And wondered if the 500w power supply that I have is enough.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
Dan.

Also, please feel free to suggest better parts, as long as they are cheaper/the same price. (I am already over budget!) Thanks!

500w is plenty for this build.

A 500w would be more than enough! Make sure you use a well known brand, such as corsair, to insure it doesn't blow out!

You are good on power.
I would be hard pressed to pick any parts significantly better.

Personally, I will not build again without a ssd for the os.
Consider using a 120gb ssd and deferring on the hard drive. It will hold the os and a handful of games. 240gb and you may never need a hard drive at all.
A ssd will make everything you do feel so much quicker.
Samsung and Intel would be my picks.
