No and that is one very poor motherboard.
Not enough power and no power cable for the video card on the power supply.

MSI 870-G45 AM3 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard Would This Be A Better Motherboard and how big of a psu would I need to power this

lunyone · Jun 19, 2015

No. Here is why:
* The PSU doesn't have a 6 pin PCI-e power connector.
* The PSU doesn't have enough power for your setup.
* PSU has a combined 23 amps on the 12v rails, which is a bit too low, IMHO.

I have almost the same setup as you are listing, but I have a 550w Antec PSU for it (more than what I need).

I would look for a quality 450-500w PSU to make sure you have plenty of clean power. I look at Antec, Corsair, Seasonic, PCP&C, or XFX for brands.

500w power supply suggested by Sapphire.

System Requirement
500 Watt Power Supply (Suggestion)
1024 MB Minimum of system memory
1 x 6-pin AUX Power Connector

Get yourself a good power supply. Seasonic and Antec are good ones.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371007 Would this one work?

I posted a nice pairing above.

MisterGoldfish :

Yes that should work, but is an older design (internally) and is currently out of stock at Newegg.

PCPartPicker List of 500w+ PSU's that I'd consider.

Zerk2012 · Jun 19, 2015

MarkW :

Not a clue where you get 500 Watts from the video card has a TDP of 150 Watts what they suggest without knowing the rest of your parts means nothing.
The best buy right now on a 550 Watt PSU when you get the rebate.

Wow Zerk that's actually a pretty good deal thanks for the help along with the rest of you!

MarkW · Jun 19, 2015

As I said, I pulled that info right off of the Sapphire website. *AND* I posted exactly what they recommended.
