Hello gents,
I'm building a budget pc since my current rig does not have an HDMI output and decided to just upgrade most of it except maybe the PSU. So I am planning on buying the following:
GFX Card
04G-P4-2768-KR
$250
MB
GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3P
$80
CPUs(haven't decided whether ill buy the 8350 or 8370)
FD8350FRHKBOX with the stock fan
$175
FD8370FRHKBOX with the stock fan
$200
RAM
HX318C10FBK2/8
$85
Besides that I already have the tower and the an older Corsair CMPSU-550VX 550-Watt VX Series 80.
Is this power supply enough? I also have 3 Caviar Green HDDs and an optical drive. Keep in mind that the PSU has a Dedicated +12V rail incase it makes any difference.
I think I'm basically at the limit of my PSU so I think I may need to opt for a new one but a PC Wizard's input would be greatly appreciate it!! I am trying to save on energy. Thanks
