No it won't it's a very poor power supply with only 12 amps on the 12v + rail.

Here's one that will.

34 amps on the 12v + rail.

No,get a better one.It has only 144watts on the +12voltrail.

That's a very low quality unit. You'd be better off with something like this http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-100w10430kr which is still not what I'd call "quality" but is a much better budget choice.

Ideally I'd suggest this http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-s12ii430b which is a great unit.

It's best not to go too cheap on a PSU as a bad one will ruin the rest of your PC if it breaks (and it probably will...)

Thanks guys. I have about $90 can someone recommend a cheap but good psu on amazon?

Thanks a lot

Brendan Calkins :

See above! The Seasonic is a good unit and you can go for a larger Wattage unit if you plan on a beefier graphics card in the future.

More than enough power.

Made by SEASONIC.

This one is very nice and also Seasonic http://www.ncixus.com/products/?usaffiliateid=1000031504&sku=59615&vpn=P1550SXXB9&manufacture=XFX. It's $69.99 but has a $10 rebate making it $59.99 if that helps. The Capstone mentioned above is also really nice

Brendan Calkins · Aug 18, 2014

Got the Capstone. Thanks guys!

Dark Lord of Tech · Aug 18, 2014

Your welcome glad to help, it's a great choice made by the best Super Flower.

It makes me smile just to think how many millions of times better that PSU is to the Sentey one we started with! Your PC will thank you! Enjoy!

Vic 40 · Aug 18, 2014
