Will a 600 watt power supply be enough for my build?

DiamondsareMine · Nov 19, 2014

I wanted to overclock my CPU and my GPU in my PC but I think the wattage on my power supply is going to limit me from getting what i should be getting without a wattage limit.

I have:
CPU: i5 4690k
GPU: Nvidia 980

I get about 355 at max

Thank You

Not all 600W PSUs are created equal, what unit are you considering?

Why would it limit you? I think your draw is closer to 300W then you think, so assuming your PSU can output 600W you are only using half of it's output. As long as its a quality 600W unit you are fine.

I'm using a Corsair CX600M

Not knowing the rest of the specs of your pc with what you have given here I d say you have room to overclock with that power supply.

The Corsair is more than enough, but I would avoid overclocking on it, its not a bad unit, but its not designed to handle the stresses of overclocking.
