700watt PSU enough for this build?

Last response: in Components

Motherboard = ASUS Sabertooth 990FX
CPU = AMD FX-4100 Zambezi 3.6GHz Quad-Core
CPU Cooler = Corsair H80
GPU = ASUS GTX570 DCII 1280MB
Memory = 16GB G.Skill Sniper (PC3 14900)
Harddrive(s) = (1) OCZ Vertex 3 SATA3 120GB, (1) SATA Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB
Optical = SATA Lite-On DVD Burner w/Lightscribe

With these parts in mind, should a OCZ ModXStream Pro 700W PSU handle everything?

Hello RazorEye;

How far are you going with overclocking the CPU and GPU?

I think the ModXStream Pro 700W is going to have you covered, even with max OC'ing.

We should probably talk about your case and it's cooling too.
I think Davcon is thinking about the hot testing HardOCP did with the OCZ ModXStream Pro 700W where it didnt get good results above 40C.

Well, already got the 700 on the way, guess it's a bit of buyer's remorse kicking in making me doubt myself. This is all going into a Cooler Master 912 Plus, 200mm fans in the front and top. Other than the video card, not much will be in the way and I should have pretty good air flow. No overclocking as of now, but I wouldn't mind bumping things up just a little.

You should be alright!
I actually own two ModX 600W units = they've been great and one is over 2yrs old now.
The 700W version has received alot of mixed reviews.
The 500W unit is the best version out of the 3 imo.
