Will this PSU suffice the needs of this system?

The Xilent Penumbra · Jul 25, 2015

Here's the system I'm building: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/FxXnVn

And here's the PSU I'm planning to get: Antec TruePower Classic 650W 80+ Gold Certified ATX Power Supply

I want to know whether the PSU that I'm getting will have all the connectors that my system needs to operate. I know that a modular PSU may have been a better choice but my case can hide away the spare cables and I'd rather not rise the cost more.

Thank you in advance

Yes, the True Power Classic is a fine power supply made by Seasonic and 650 watts is more than enough for your system.

PSU will do just fine.

Also the PSU I changed to in the above is rated a bit higher. Tier 1 vs Tier 2. I recommend the XFX first over Antec and it is fully modular
Changed the mobo to a 100% equal one that offers better power distribution and better reliability.

I would go with XFX XTR 650W at that price point, it a modular psu :

I get the feeling you're keeping an eye on the colors of the build,why pick that green m.2 ssd that will really stick out?

Vic 40 :

I am in fact trying to maintain the colours black and red mainly but I like the idea of the 10GB/s transfer speed for the M.2 SSD and I haven't seen any black and red ones so far. I know I could get SATA express and still support 10GB/s but this is my first build and I don't know how all that would work. If you know any black and red M.2 SSDs or tell me that SATA express is actually pretty simple (and cheaper hopefully) I'll sure look into it

Another question,why not get a good cooler when building? At least the 212 evo.

I would prefer these parts,but maybe you're at the limit of your budget,

Took the gigabyte 970 just because it is a bit cheaper and still would fit with the coloring..
This is the ssd i would look at and i would even prefer the 250gb version,but that's again more expensive.I don't think the m.2 outperforms the sata version so don't see a reason performance wise to go for it.
The psu i chose is a good choice and would support sli.Don't know if you had thoughts about that?
