I was wondering if my wattage is enough to run at peak performance, such running games 1080p.
I have a:
Rosewill GREEN series 530w 80+ bronze PSU
M5A97 R2.0 Motherboard
2x4 GB G.Skill Ripjaws X at 1600Mhz
1 250GB WD Caviar Blue at 7200RPM
(Not purchased)SAPPHIRE Dual-X R7 265
(Not purchased)FX-6300 @ 3.5Ghz Stock
The question is, would it be run-able (even if not recommended).


I'm not looking to store many games, just a few, so I currently don't need a large HDD.

Need to know your cpu and if you will overclock. Put your build in pcpartpicker.com it will give you an estimate of how much wattage you will need.

The power supply is pretty poor quality, but it will technically work. Don't expect to keep it for a long time though, and it has the potential to take your other parts with it if it fails.

Wattage is fine on the PSU, whether or not it will output the full 530W is another matter. Technically his build only needs upwards of 450W, but I doubt the power supply will last long.

Yea, just starting to see that now. I should have made a more informed decision. I'll look more into the PSU. If its that bad I will shell out the extra cash to replace it :(  Thanks guys. Yet another helpful visit here.
