Ngonzalez · May 3, 2016

Alright so i recently got a Gigabyte gtx 660 Oc GPU for a very good price. While reading the specs for it, i noticed that i needed a 450 watt power supply but i only have a cx430M power supply. in my system i have
i5 4570 cpu
thermaltake intel cpu cooler
Gigabyte GA-H81M-HD2 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
emtec 120 Gb SSD
segate 500 gb HDD
a random Optical drive
small wifi adapter
cx430m PSU
and the GPU am receiving is a gigabyte gtx 660 2gb OC windforce

430W is enough, but it will be pushing what low end junk like the cx430m can do. Don't try overclocking above factory settings.

You can run the computer fine with that.
Though if you intend to overclock or game... I would upgrade the PSU.

I think you would be ok but if you want to be sure you can use this website http://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator it would give you your power comsuption and the minimun watts your psu should have

Rsrexgamer :

Those calculators are not good. Also, labelled wattage has nothing to do with the power supply having "minimum" or "plenty of watts". It's about quality.
