Hey forums,

I am planning on doing a build using old parts and I was wondering if the XFX TS 550W Bronze PSU can support an overclocked Phenom X4 965 BE and R9 280. I do know that at stock clocks, 550W is more than enough power for them, but when overclocked to lets say 4.0ghz on the CPU, would it still be enough power? I am quite new to overclocking so I don't really know how much it increases the TDP. Thanks.

Phil
 
Solution
Not OC'd, no.

CPU: 125w
GPU: 250w
Total: 375w stock just for those two.
Add ~100w for everything else and you'd be running your PSU pretty hard.
