Im currently rebuilding my pc/upgrading and have recently bought new parts but i wonder if my psu will be able to power my system after i install the new parts
My System(including the parts i
bought)
PSU Huntkey greenpower 500W
CPU intel i5 4960k
Motherboard MSI z97a gaming 7
GPU Nvidia geforce gt 630
Case NZXT Phantom 820 ultra tower
HDD seagate 500gb
seagate 1tb
DVD/CD rom HP dvd270
the system includes 4 case fans 3 200mm and 1 140mm
also the motherboard will power a Razer Anansi MMO Gaming keyboard and a MadCatz R.A.T5 mouse

pls tell me if i can use my old psu or if i should go buy a new one
p.s on a tight buget and wont be able to buy a new psu for 4 months

The HuntKey Green Power 500 is not a 500 Watt power supply. It is a 400 Watt power supply being sold using its peak power rating.

You can run that system configuration on a decent 300 Watt power supply unit.

you'll be ok for now but i would avoid trying to overclock the cpu until you get a new psu. i doubt that psu will be able to handle the higher power draw from the oc'ed cpu.

the gpu is pretty low power so you are ok there but the psu should be your next upgrade before anything else.
