You really should have a 600W power supply per RealHardTech. Get a good quality psu from tiers 1, 2a or 2 b of http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html eg Seasonic 620, XFX 650 or Antyec HCG 620M

Rest of the system you are considering?

That is a pretty decent unit and will do the job just fine.

Although if your using an AMD CPU too, then keep overclocking to a minimum to avoid overloading the PSU.

i can see my OCZ ZS 550W in Tier Two A...i was about to buy Seasonic 620W but many users were disappointed....i bought seasonic once as well a few days before i bought the OCZ one...and it crashed after 20 hours...

edit: CPU i want to buy is Intel Xeon E3-1231v3 and MSI Z97 pc mate MB...i wont overclock CPU or GPU

The OCZ are good. Not as good as Seasonic M12II 650's. I'd prefer to have some overhead and go in the direction from RealHardTech.

The OCZ ZS are made by Sirtec, which has a great reputation MOST of the time.

Here is a review :

Its actually a better unit than I originally thought.

EDIT : And your setup will not draw anywhere near 550W that this unit can provide.

so is it fine and i dont have to buy a new one? great news

thanks Novuake and i7Baby

Its very rare to find a problem with a Seasonic.

Rio221222 · Jul 28, 2014

i found out that the PSU has only 6x8 pin and GPU needs 8x8 pin...do i have to buy a new one then? :/

If that's what you need on your graphics card.
