I'm gonna be building my very first custom computer. I was wondering, If 600watts is enough to run my build? Keep in mind, I also don't want to break my electricity bill. Anyways, I won't be doing any serious over-clocking, any time soon, but I will mainly use this to do gaming and search the web. Thank you for giving your time to read my forum.

Sorry. The FX8350 is going on 5 years old and just doesn't hold up well compared to current Intel cpus. It's not even good for the price anymore. Even the $110 i3 6100 beats it in almost every game. It's also a power hog with known heat issues. The GTX750ti is not bad, but has since been replaced twice with 2 different generations of video cards the GTX950 and GTX1050 who occupy the same exact price range and also a few AMD cards like the R7 370 and RX460. All much better than the 750ti, all pretty much the same price.

600w is more than enough for that build, but that 600w psu is not very good.

If you don't mind me saying, that is not a very good build. Both the 750ti and the FX8350 are extremely poor choices. You could do SO much better for the same amount of money.

Can you please explain, why both the 750ti and the FX8350 are extremely poor choices?
