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.

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.
