Is 530 Wattage PSU enough power for an ASUS GTX 970 STRIX and INTEL i5 4690k/4670k?

Savant-ism · Nov 21, 2014

Hi, i'm wondering if this amount of wattage (530) is sufficient enough to power all these components, and potential for over clocking, Also if Raidmax is a solid company to get a PSU from, (It's on sale)

ASUS GTX 970 STRIX
INTEL i5 4690k/4670k

These are the 2 major components, the rest are just the genaric HDD, SDD, 8GB RAM etc.

530W is enough if it's a quality PSU. Raidmax is not a good PSU brand, do not use a Raidmax PSU.

What is your budget?

My budget is around $1000 - $1100, im using the other $400 or $500 for Monitor, OS, Keyboard etc.

The PSU i was planning on getting was: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817152028

Just go for an XFX, it's cheaper, higher wattage and much better quality.

Get one from tiers 1, 2a or 2b eg Seasonic M12II 520 ($67 at Newegg), XFX 550 ($50) or Antec HCG 520M ($52)

It's difficult to find one, but i'm trying to aim for under $60 and at least 500+ Wattage, but the problem is, i live in Canada, and prices up here are pretty stupid, so newegg.ca or tigerdirect.ca or any Canadian store/website would be good.

Sadly, i live in Canada, and the prices are super whack, so i'm looking for something under $70 with 500+ Wattage, Canadian ofc.

if i had to choose between an antec and seasonic psu, same power range for the same price, seasonic every time. they're just a better built psu.
