Hey all, I'm setting up a computer and just received it. I'm a little disappointed in the PSU. It's a Diablotek 400w (12v/22amps = 264w)
I'm new to this but I know it's a low end computer and power supply. I'm just wondering if it's too risky to boot up this CPU with the following hardware
gtx 750 ti (70w)
amd fx-4130 (125w)
mobo Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 (40w)
1 TB WD HDD - (10w?)
1 Dvdrw - (25w?)
2x 4gb ddr3 (?w)
This looks to be too much for a 400w PSU with 264 actual power...
I know jack about electricity and computers, but am I understanding all of this correctly and I DEFINITELY need a new PSU, or is there something I don't understand and is this actually manageable, just not ideal for adding more hardware?
Thanks in advance.
