Will 300 watts be enough?

[jamesoh0]

I have a 300 watt power supply and I was wondering if it would be able to support
intel i5 2500k sandy, EVGA GTX 560 fermi GC, asus maximus IV gene MOBO, one small back fan, cpu cooler, and a 120 mm side fan, small led light in the front.
Help would be appreciated!

No, you need an 500W - 550W PSU.

No use the newegg PSU calculator or google psu calculator.

I would say no because the 560 video card has a 450w minimum psu requirement and then from there your adding a i5-2500k and a high powered motherboard. I would say that you need a 500w minimum. You can see what psu you need with this psu calculator.

When I ran this calculator for your components listed it came up with 450w , that's why I said 500w.
