Im building a gaming computer. being the first one im building i was wondering weather or not the CPU is able to run the entire system? The graphics card that im using says it requires 500W but does that mean i can throw in a 500W CPU and be fine? Im more asking for the information. I will be putting in a 600W PSU and was also wondering if i would be limited with 600W or do i need something higher?

My Question being can this CPU run a System like this? Do you have any recommendations? How do you think this system will run being a budget build? Any recommendations on better hardware that'll work better but not being too much more costly?
 
Solution
Pushing to $750 would give you a much better CPU and a better GPU, along with a better PSU and much better overclocking ability. If you'd like to stay closer to $700, just let me know, will be easy enough :)

I forgot to mention the operating system being $100 so basically $650 in hardware.
 
No worries :) This'll max out a lot of games, as well as get the benefit from Mantle in the future as well :) The 270x is a great card.
