I have an Intel chips etc based cpu lenovo thinkcentre m91p series.
With i5 core 2500 2nd generation 64 bit with windows 10 home as a Os.
I have 240w fps group psu, can this psu support 1tb harddisk and 320gb harddisk (by using sata power splitter ) and 1 usb 3.0 pci card and 1 optic drive (again I am using to split sata power cable i.e one to optic drive and one for pci powered by one molex )I would connect female to male sata power cable to molex connector. Actually I have ordered already from eBay but to be in a safer side I am asking over here because I trust on this forum.
Very ...very.... Thanks in advanc.
Thank you.

Your cpu uses around 100w, the hdds and optic drive uses like 10w each. Which means your 3.0 PCI card can use 110w, which I highly doubt it does.

In other words, you're safe to go dude.

FPS is a good make but I don't know why you chose to buy such a low wattage one - - that's a bare minimum wattage these days even for a modest set up. A 350w or 400w model would have been better - - - power to spare under load is always preferable to one which is running at near maximum output, plus you'd be all set for future upgrades without having to buy another one.
