I just ordered a new 500 Watt Corsair PSU to replace my current PSU, which is giving me issues with cooling and space in my case. It's also a pretty mediocre brand, and not reliable. I just wanted to know if the 500 Watts would be enough to power my rig efficiently.

Specs:
AMD A-10 6700 Series 3.7 Quad Core
8 Gigs single-channel DDR3 RAM
ASUSTek M11BB(FM2) Motherboard
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Graphics Card
931 Gigabyte Toshiba SATA Hard Drive

Thanks!

Antec VP-450. 38 bucks and will power the rig nicely with clean power. btw that a10 might actually have more powerful graphics than that 650

Thanks for the tip! Ill look into that psu. Also, not according to the 25+ frame rate boost on skyrim on ultra settings after I installed the card. I prefer dedicated graphics anyways.

dang. It's probably because of the single channel and the memory speed. AMD recommends 8gb of 2400mhz cas 10 ram at least to get stellar performance out of their new apus
