Psu for hd 7850 and ram requirements
Last response: in Graphics & Displays
Hi! I need your urgent help as i am buying the pc very soon. I am buying the corsair cx v2 430 psu. I am going for a i3 2100, Dh67-bl mobo with 4 gb of ram and hd 7850. When I checked the max wattage of my psu at their official site, it says 336W and max amperage is 28A. So I know it will run my graphic card. But what I would like to know is while playing these highend games and both CPU and Gpu maxed out, will my psu work out in the long run?Can it provide enough power to the whole system easily?Regarding ram i know it will support 1333mhz but i have many people are recommending me the 1666mhz ram.Why is that (when the bios will run the 1666mhz ram at 1333mhz)?Is 4gb ram enough for windows 7 64 bit?Do I need to add more since I will be playing as well? Thanks in advance!

A 380w psu would be more than sufficient. Your system doesn't use anywhere near 336w, more like 200w.
4GB is sufficient, but it's so cheap you might as well get 8GB. Newegg has 8GB kit for $35 right now.
Your 2100 only supports 1333, but if you upgrade to a new quad core down the road it will support 1600.

Yes, the Corsair CX V2 430 PSU is okay. The 7850 is not a power hog by any means.
And since you are buying the DH67-BL which only have a single PCIe slot, there is no need to provision for crossfire or sli so the 430W psu is great.
You do not need to worry about stressing you CX because it has been tested to carry up to 127% overload:

The power that your PC can draw is just around 300W at max.
