Hi people, i'm in a budget and i'm going to buy this;
i5 3470
Rx 480 (Reference)
z67 Mobo (i want to oc the i5 down the road)
8gb ram
1 Tb HDD.
The cpu still has a stock cooler, thats why i'm not thinking in Oc'ing it atm.
and i'm thinking to buy an 450W 80 bronce EVGA PSU, would it be enough?
pd; i have a voltage regulator and i would be connecting the pc to it, would it affect?
 
Solution
Do you mean Z68 or Z77? There is no Z67. At least not that I am aware of.

If you plan to OC get an unlocked i5-3570K. It will make life a lot easier than messing with BCLK and stability issues.

The PSU is fine.

I would say, yes, that PSU will work. I used the OuterVision PSU Calculator to plug in the data that you provided and it came up with you having a 268 watt load and a recommended 318 watt power supply which means a 450 watt PSU is way over what you originally intended and it gives you room to expand.

I'm in a budget, so i bought the Mobo and the i5 together, i guess its a 268 since i still dont have the board in my hands (i'm going to pick it up tomorrow.)
I just bought the PSU in amazon, thank you for answering :)
