Hi guys i got an Enermax NAXN ENP500AGT 500W is it enough to supply i5 4690k with 750ti ? Thank you for your answers.
 
Solution
technically Yes, safe to use and stable, just lower quality components. Some capacitors maybe Japanese, but can include the Taiwanese capacitors. Not really ideal in serious over clocking or super-high load situations, such as a Bitcoin mining rig or a high end gaming system.
If you have bought it , then its fine , else seasonic s12 ones are better quality.
You only need a 450W or 420W PSU for your system.

Thank you very much its just for gaming and im not planning to overclock it in the close future. anyway whats the risk for the components when you are cutting it close with the PSU ? can it somehow destroy them ? because im really afraid of damageing them...
 


Well, if the psu would be tier 4 or 5, when the psu breaks, it can and maybe even WILL break other things too since they rarely have any safety features.

that naXn is seemingly an OK psu and shouldn't damage other parts when it breaks.
Just the psu won't last too long in hard use. Luckily your parts do not take too much power so it's fine.

That risk is usually only for ultra cheap PSUs. Besides its not like tier 1 or tier 2 gaurantees not to damage components whatsoever.
Even seasonic ones can burn ports and power cords . but the chances are exponentially less.
The maximum risk you are taking is basically the PSu unable to supply clean current after few years and the system starts freezing or random shutdowns , or a 0.01 % chance of blowing off.
