Enough Power? (Corsair CX600)

Kempfsigurd · Jan 20, 2015

Hello guys, I'm new on the forums, so sorry if I make any mistakes. I'm writing today to ask a question. See, I'm (hopefully) getting an NVIDIA GTX TITAN BLACK 6GB GPU. A friend of mine works at a company, who are upgrading their computers to use Titan Z's, so I'm looking to make a bargain happen.

I'm wondering if what I have will supply enough juice to all of my components, including my graphics card, if I hook it all up. Thank you so much for your help. See my current system specs below to determine. I'm looking forward to hearing from you guys

SPECS:

Fractal Design: Define R4 Case

Intel Core i7 4790K @ stock 4.0 GHz

ASUS Z-97-A Motherboard

Corsair H100i Watercooler

Nvidia GTX 660 TI MSI TwinFrozr III OC Edition

2 x 8 (16GB) HyperX Fury BEAST 1866MhZ RAM

Corsair CX600 80+ Bronze-certified power-supply

5x Noctua SPF-12 PWN extreme quiet performance 120mm fans

HyperX FURY 120GB SSD

1TB 7200/RPM Western Digital Harddrive

640GB 7200/RPM Western Digital Harddrive

(THOSE DRIVES ARE FAILING, WILL UPGRADE TO A 2TB SSHD SOON)

ASUS PCE-A68.AC EXTREME WIRELESS CARD

Standard DVD-CD Read/write CD-ROM DRIVE

External Elgato GameCapture HD Capturecard

should be, but the cx series is a load of garbage.
get something that's rated 600 watts or over that's made by antec, seasonic or xfx and you should be golden.

I would go for this just to be on the safe side and open up your overclocking and SLI/crossfire options in the future.

Your system probably won't even break 300W as it is. Unless you plan to SLI or make other major additions later, the CX600 should be fine. Not the greatest but not the worst either.

Thank you so much guys. I'll never use Crossfire/SLI, but that's another discussion. I really appreciate it. Thanks again.

The CX series are mediocre PSU's, but they certainly aren't garbage. They're solidly within ATX specs and their current is stable.

P.S. neither Antec nor XFX actually make PSU's. All XFX PSU's are made by Seasonic. Some upper end antec's are also made by seasonic, while some of the more budget Antec PSU's are manufactured by CWT - the same company that makes Corsair's CX line.

Wow, great info there. Thanks man.

I know that antec or xfx don't make psu's , but it makes it easier for OPs to search for those brand names for their power supply needs

. normally it's XFX's 450w and 550W that are the best for budget builds so I normally recommend them.
