like the title says Im wondering if my psu is good enough for my components thanks

psu: Corsair Builder Series CXM500
 


What are the prices of both? What country? As I said the CX450M is miles better than both of them. The wattage number is a meaningless value, shouldn't really matter. If you can afford a GTX 1070 I find it hard to believe you can't afford a half-decent power supply.

I agree with Turkey.


The wattage is meaningless unless you get a decent powersupply. You can get a 500 watt power supply made in china and it will barely be able to put out 300 watts. But you could also get a 1050 watt psu from an amazing, trusted company and it will put out 1150 watts if necessary
