Hello.

I need your help. I am not very sure about how reliable is to use the Ezcool 500 PSU if I have these components in my PC:

GPU -> Radeon R9 270X.
Processor -> AMD FX 6300.
Mother Board -> ASUS M5A97 R2.0.
RAM (I don´t know if it's affected by the UPS) -> 10 GB Hyperx.

It is secure to use that PSU along with those other components?

Thank you.

not even close to being good enough. it has no pcie connectors which the gpu needs 2 x 6 pin's and also only has 22 12v amps which = 264w total from the 12v rail. that's not enough to run the system you ask about at all. it is basically not a 500w psu but rather a 275w model

the psu is basically bottom of the barrel in quality and should be replaced ASAP. i can suggest a few models for you to consider, if you want to upgrade it. all i need is a budget to work with and i'll see what's available.
