Will 500W power supply be enough?

HotPC · Feb 9, 2015

I have Intel CPU LGA 1150 Intel Pentium Dual-core g3258 3.26hz box 32nm And AMD Radeon R7 260x Sapphire and some motherboard and i can now put it all together but i'm not sure if 500W will be enough, should i be worried?

Yes it should be enough. What power supply do you have, or plan too get? This would be a good one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207030&cm_re=xfx_550w-_-17-207-030-_-Product

This unit will also be good for if you ever decide to upgrade your CPU and video card. It will handle an i5/i7 and single high end video card if you ever want to upgrade. It's not enough for SLI/Xfire though.

Its fine for now. If you plan to upgrade your graphics cards, you will have more options if you go for something that will support more watts. EG: 550-600w will easily support a top of the line graphics card. 750w will support two excellent graphics cards.

HotPC :

It will be fine, assuming you have a decent PSU.
