Power supply recommendation for a HD 6950

[kugashira]

Hey guys, I was building myself a new build and I'm pretty sure of what parts I will be buying but I don't know if the power supply I have chosen is powerful enough or if I could get better or equal for less money.

My specs are:

Motherboard: ASRock P67 PRO3 (B3)

CPU: intel i5-2500K

GPU: ASUS HD 6950 2 GB

I will be using only 1 HDD, I also won't crossfire in the future and if I ever overclock it will be something really "basic".

The PSU I had in mind is the SeaSonic S12II 520 Bronze 520W wich I will be buying for about 85 dollars in my local store.

My main doubt is if this PSU will give enough power to my build.

Thanks for the help!

Your chosen PSU has enough potential to drive your rig even with a high overclock (4GHz+) on that CPU.. It won't however cause any bottlenecks even when kept to stock clocks.. Anyway, for that much cost of the PSU, you can get yourself the Corsair TX 650 V2 also.. It is basically a Seasonic make so you need not bother on quality.. The extra wattage will give you enough headroom for future more powerful upgrades..
