Question about modular PSU

PaulAnthonyAsh · Oct 17, 2015

I have a brand new modular PSU "Modu 82+ 525watts"

my question is does this watts can handle these?

*intel core i7-4790
*Asus B85 Pro-Gamer
*Deep Cool Maelstorm 120
*2x 8GB HyperX Fury
*GeForce GTX 750 2GB StormX
*3x 120mm case fan ( planning to add 2 more)
*5x HDDs (3x500GB / 1TB / 2TB)
*Case Neon Lights

i havent installed it yet coz im still waiting for the mobo to be delivered,so im wondering if a 525W true rated modular PSU can handle all of those components..

i tried both newegg and extreme psu calculator but they gave me different results
newegg said i need 515w and extreme said i need 416w

thank you so much

What's the brand of the psu?
you gonna need a higher wattage than that like at least 650 or 750 never a good idea to match it with the maximum wattage your system will consume

its ENERMAX Modu 82+ 525watts
im really out of budget actually well i only wanted to know if this watts can handle it with no worries

PaulAnthonyAsh :

that'll be fine for the moment i guess, but when you can consider swapping it

You PSU could handle that system but I wouldn't recommend it. I'd look for miniumum 550W good quality power supply. Unfortunately the PSU you have right now isn't a great one so if you could return it I would. In terms of recommendations:
XFX TS 550W 80 Plus Gold certified Power Supply Unit
Seasonic S12-II 620W 80+ Bronze Certified Wired Power Supply
I know the ones recommended above are a bit pricy but never ever cheap out on a power supply, a bad one could potentially damage your system

I think that you will be fine.I don't see any need to spend more money on a psu with these components and the psu you have.
