Hello DJready;

What make and model is the PSU?
It should have more than enough power to run all your parts.

 

[DJready]

the PSU is from Spirepower: http://power.spire.nl/product_detail.asp?ProdID=919#

This is interesting - and not very good news for you. You'll need to seriously think about replacing your PSU.

If the people over @ Guru3D are correct:
Jewel Black SP-ATX-420WTB-PFC-1 has only about ~15Amps +12V.

That is really low (and I mean REALLY low) amount of +12V power for a 420W PSU. Something we'd expect to see in a 300W PSU. For a decent 420W PSU we'd expect to see 24Amps or higher for +12V.

Here is a budget $25 300W PSU: FSP Group ATX300-PA 300W
And it has 22Amps of +12V. (12V1+12V2=264watts Max / 264watts divided by 12volts = 22Amps)

The Corsair CX400 will be able to handle your rig adequately.. Don't count on your current PSU.. WR2 has explained everything properly anyway..

I think the Corsair CX400 has been replaced by the CX430. Definitely the PSU to be looking at.

uhm, i just wonder why does most PSU that are even 500 or 600 watts have 15-18Amps +12?

Where i live that Crosair CX400 is 76 euro/96$

Likely you're not reading the data label correctly.
What is your budget for a replacement PSU?

Can you find an Antec EA-380D for a decent price? It has 28Amps +12V.

Don't forget you can look up the the +12V total power for lots of different PSUs in that link in my 2nd post.

I would recommend getting at least a 650w or 850w and any Ultra or Silverstone Stryder 650-850 will work.

I recommend Silverstone and Ultra for anyone that is into PC gaming.

 

[DJready]

no i can't find that PSU where i live

This is one of the shops here maybe you can find a decent one?

Any more online stores you can shop from? Not a lot of options at that site.

SilverStone SST-ST50F-ES 500W and 34Amps +12V is reasonably good PSU.

The LC Power 'Silent Giants' are mostly made by Huntkey - definitely stay away from those.

Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus 500 review is just a bit below average quality. Something less than 30amps +12V, probably 25Amps would be a good guess.

 

[DJready]

whell there is this one http://www.mlacom.si/pregled-artiklov/2889/do-460W but anything more than 40 euro is too much for me atm.

ThermalTake Litepower 400W ~19Amps - another disappointment.

be quiet! Pure Power L7 350W has ~25Amps but is just over your budget.
Is this German review it got a "Very Good" rating.
