Hi, im getting my new pc and have almost all components ready, but for last I bought a Dynex 520w psu and I think that was a mistake..


I already have: gigabyte g.1 sniper b6, i5 4690, an 8gb ram kit, wd caviar blue 1 tb and a radeon r9 270...

Should I keep it? I don't dare trying it without asking first...

Avoid the CX series they use poor secondary caps and have seen numerous failures. I'll agree they are better than the Dynex(not hard to do) but they are still not good. For the price of a cx600 there are usually higher quality options. Currently the cheapest I can find the CX600 is $65 and there are many better units in that price range that will power your rig.
If you don't mind a mail in rebte there is a great deal on the 550w XFX
