Do I have enough power for my build?

Forceuser1998 · Feb 27, 2014

My specs are: Mother Board: MSI FM2-A75MA-P33
APU: AMD A10 5800k
RAM: Kingston ValueRAM 4 GB Memory - DIMM 240-pin - 1333 MHz ( PC3-10600 ) 1.5 V

No graphics card, Using the APU on board graphics. I am wondering if a
CX430 430 watt PSU would be enough to power this machine. Thanks!

yup, should be fine

Ahmadjon · Feb 27, 2014

Yes CX430 would be plenty!

yes, it'll actually be enough to power it and another discrete GPU (with some restrictions) should you decide to get one

430 w psu is fine but if you are going to use the on board graphics for gaming you should really get faster ram and at least 8gb. I know it stinks but the graphics processor shares memory with the cpu and graphics processors like fast ram. Atleast 1600 but 1866 would be better. If you cant afford 8gb at least get one 4gb stick of the faster ram and later add more 4 gb stick.

im guessing your a budget oriented, but if you havent bought the ram yet then try to get 2x2gb (2x4gb) 1600 not 1333. apus love dual channel mem and the psu should be fine.
here is a link to son 2x2gb ram 1600

yeah, 8gb is the way to go, at least 1600

Bad_Kitty13 :

The motherboard only has 2 slots better 4gb now and 4gb later if on a budget
