Hello,
I've planned to built the following
Amd fx 6300
Msi gtx 750ti
Msi 970 gaming mobo
Kingston fury hyper x ram 8gb
Coolermaster seidon v2
And my power supply is 450 watts is this enough for this built?
Best regards

Well the parts you have don't require a lot of power. Some 750 ti's get the power from the motherboard. You could get away with a mid level power supply like a CX 500 or an Antec Earthwatts and be fine . They aren't popular because they use cheaper internal components. Just keep it cool and a lower power usage and you'll be fine.

And is there a reason you're getting a watercooler? Just get a cheaper cooler like the Evo or the CRYORIG H7 and put the money into a more powerful...

Well it is a old power supply from a medion desktop the manufactur of the psu is called fsp group model number unknown and a small correction the psu is 400 watts tho.. Maybe i should upgrade to an corsair cx 500 but if this psu does the trick why should i
