Do I have enough juice for this system?

Krazzylegs · Jan 31, 2016

So I built my brother this pc.
CPU: i5 2500k (stock)
MOBO: Intel z77
Ram: 2gb random ram from old pc x 4
HDD: 750gb Seagate barracuda
PSU: CX600M

He's running off integrated graphics right now. I recently purchased an xfx 290x, and plan to give him my old MSI 280x. Is that power supply enough for that system, and perhaps an ssd in the future?

if the unit under 30 days try and replace it with a better unit. 600w is fine for the rig you built but the cx unit is not a know good unit. if you can find a 650 or 750 for the same price like evga or xfx or seasonic you have better gaming power supply that wont fail when under load.

I'm gonna lock his framerates to 60 in Crimson. Also, I got the psu for $20, after an Evga supernova 750w B2 blew up in my face and killed his other i5 that I had gotten him. CX is good enough for budget gaming machines with light overclocking, which he wont be doing at all.

Lol. One budget PSU blows up and destroys rig. Solution: use a worse budget PSU in a new rig.

I wouldn't but whatever makes you happy.
