Hi, I'm planning on buying a PNY GTX 960 2GB. I also have an i5 2400, 8GB of DDR3 RAM and a 1TB hard drive. Will my 380W Antec PSU be able to handle the entire system? The unit is an EA-380D Green.
Thanks for the help, if you need any more information on the system, let me know.

Seasonic did't even make that calculator. What Seasonic does know is selling a larger capacity PSU gives them more profit, which (my theory) why they use sites that overestimate.

Please take all PSU calculators with a grain of salt. None of them are really accurate. On an intensive gaming load, your build consumes ~180w. You are fine with that 380W PSU as it has 336w on the 12V rail. I just don't suggest overclocking the GPU and then doing a system stress test.

Should be OK, but if you start having any sort of stability issues replace it.
