Hi, I'm putting together a build with the following items and was wondering if my PSU Corsair VS450 would be enough to power it.

MB: MSI 970A-G46
CPU: AMD FX 6350
GPU: Sapphire hd7850 2gb OC
Ram: 1x Kingston 4GB 1600mhz
HD: WD Blue 1TB

Yeah that power supply will be enough as long as you don't overclock your CPU

it would be enough to power everything at stock but it would certainly be pushing it, the Corsair VS is the worst, they're just of very poor quality, if you can get a CX500 instead even that would be a massive improvement over the VS (Value Series) line

It depends on the version of your VS450, the newer ones with single rail 34A 12V rails should run it fine.
Older models might be problematic, but in general they should also work.
