so im building a pc and since im not too good with parts i was wondering which power supply i need.
Specs:
gpu: MSI Radeon R9 380 Gaming 4GB GDDR5

cpu:AMD FX-8320 Black Edition

Ram: Crucial 8GB (2x4GB) CL9 1600Mhz Ballistix Sport

motherboard: MSI 970A-G43, Socket-AM3+

hdd: 1TB Toshiba 7200rpm 32MB

ps i have a 450w powersupply laying around at home, whould it be enough for the parts or should i buy a new one?

^ bignastysid save your life there mate - the g43 & g46 are p**s poor quality.
Generally for an fx 8 core stick with Asus or gigabyte.

The ds3p is decent if you never intend to overclock an 8 core - the ud3p as he said is the board for that.

If you're struggling budget wise then the ds3p & drop the CPU to a 6300 is a very decent compromise IMO.

It would be better but the Gigabyte ud3p is a much better option.
