I have a 725 watt psu from sentey and im building a new rig, was wondering if I were enough to power it. Components are as follows:

HDD: Crucial mx100 256gb

Mobo: Gigabyte 990fx

Ram: 16gb g.skill snipers 1866 (2 8gb sticks)

CPU: Amd fx-8350 4.0ghz (may want to overclock)

Card: Sapphire radeon r9 270x 2gb

Liquid cooling : corsair h100i

Drive: Dvd/dvd-rw drive

I was thinking I may want to overclock so I thought about getting a 1000watt but before I spend the cash I wanted to see if I could run with what I have at a dependable rate without having underpowering issues. And also any input on the sentey brand power supplies it was 49.99 so wondering if anyone else has any input. Thanks

Yes there is enough wattage but you should probably get an ssd for the OS, and a 1 TB HDD to store data, and you REALLY should add links to everything and spellcheck, as you will get much more replies, or at least provide more info on the parts EX:

Before:
HDD: Crucial 256gb

After:
HDD: Crucial (insert product name) 256 GB (insert hard drive RPM here)

1000w is overkill for your current rig. Never heard of Sentey and 49 bucks for a 750w psu is very low(usually doesnt bode well). But, even a generic quality psu with 750w would certainly handle your current set up.

You could easily power your system with a good 550w psu, so underpower is not a consideration, although that sentey psu only has a rated 12v output barely more than the better built 550w units. Sentey psu's do not have a good reputation when it comes to dependability, reliability, quality or output, but you should be ok as long as you don't stress it too hard.
