So recently I swapped out my CoolerMaster b600 V2 psu for a better Seasonic one and I was wondering if this psu would suffice a rig that I am building for my mum. She won't be doing much on the computer and would only use for programs like paint and browsing the web.

The media PC specs is as followed:
i5-3570
Gigabyte GA-H61M
DDR3 8GB Ram
240GB SSD

I know that this PSU isn't that highly rated but thinking that my mum wouldn't be doing anything intensive on the computer and how the PSU has such a high wattage, it should suffice right?

What do you guys think?

Well if you used it without problem from 1st day, im using "poor" VS550 (for 3 years) with i3-4170, 1050Ti, no problem. Even tested full load and no drop on 12V rails, usually they give bad reviews of cables or aesthetics, before i was using 6 years MS-400W ATX psu with Q6600 and HD5850, no problem even there and that without fan because i was idiot and didnt connect it (and still using in old second test rig).

Well if you wanna be sure make a decent airflow (one intake and one exhaust).

Yeah I'm planning to use the iGPU of the processor since she isn't doing anything graphic intensive such as gaming or graphic designing.

Yeah I would use it without any concerns if it was a better PSU but like I said, there are a few poor reviews online about this PSU and thus I'm having some concerns about it.
