Good morning, today I was thinking about buying this prebuilt computer since I am not good at physically building them and none of my friends can do that for me as well. So that is why I am buying prebuilt gaming PC.

This is the PC I was thinking about: http://www8.hp.com/sk/sk/products/desktops/product-detail.html?oid=9054751&jumpid=reg_r1002_sksk_c-001_title_r0001#!tab=specs

What the hell? How can they put a 300W PSU to such a computer? It is a time bomb. It will explode the first hour I start Fallout 4 on it. How can 300W be enough for such PC on maximum load?

Please help me! Is this 300W PSU enough for this PC with gtx970 under full load?

Thanks!

300 W PSU is way too low for GTX 970. Get a 450 W psu at least. You need to confirm from HP whether they are stupid enough to actually do that or it is a listing error. It is an error regardless and if some poor fool takes that as a reference while building their own pc, it will be bad.
