Do I have enough power for my build?

badminkey · Aug 9, 2014

I am just wondering if my PSU is enough for my build, I plan to overclock my CPU to either 4ghz or 4.5ghz. I also plan on heavy gaming.

600w may be just a tad too low. Even if it worked you wouldnt have any headroom to overclock. I would go atleast 700w+ with that build

I got 650W for a less power consuming build and its barely enough.

The PSU has enough power, but the quality of the unit is not great; You should get a better PSU for overclocking and heavy gaming: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1750snlb9

Get this PSU instead, it is a lot better quality and will last a lot longer, also there's about 150w of OC headroom, plus it is modular.

Eduello :

That PSU seems to be modular, which means I would most likely have to buy extras, the price for it is good though.

Also how about this PSU? http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-110b10750vr, I do have a budget of £700 (for the PC RIG, not the extras)

badminkey :

That one is not great, only the B2, G2, P2, and T2 units from EVGA are good.

badminkey :

You don't have to buy extras, all cables that you'd have non modular are included, but just unattached. You only use then if you need then, makes your build a lot cleaner.
