I need help with my power supply

[iTzBOB3RT]

Hello,
i am building a gaming rig and i would like to know if i have enough power to support it

It is more than enough. You can run a 7770 on 450w.

 

[iTzBOB3RT]

so what you are saying is that i can run all of that stuff on a 600w power supply?

Yep that's what he meant, in a way your build wont draw all 600 watts but its good to have headroom for upgrades and overclocking.

Easy. It will run on 450w just fine. 600w is overkill for a 7770. Its just a middle range gpu. If I was you I would switch to a non k CPU and use the extra money to get a 7850 instead.

If you are switching to a 450 watt power supply grab this:

That's the best 450w psu by far. I have it with that same 7770 and its great.

Yep, sure is one of the best 450 watt power supplies based on price and quality.

According to this review:
http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/printpage/Antec-VP450-Power-Supply-Review/1487

They were able to pull out near 550 watts, that's way over the labelled wattage.

well i do plan on getting a water cooler and over clocking and thats why i got a k series so i might need more then the 450, thanks for the response though, it did help

what kind of water cooling are you going for? Closed loop? No good just grab a high end air cooler at that price that will perform better. If custom then go on right ahead.

i was planning on this but if you are saying those air coolers are better, i will definitely check them out

do you have any recommendations for one?

Well a good budget cooler that performs very close to the H60 is the Hyper 212.

Take a look at this, the hyper 212 trails the H70, the H60 should be below or above it but very close by. My guess would be below since I own the Kuhler 620 and it is almost equal to the H60.

Edit: According to this foreign review, the Kuhler 620 does perform just a bit worse by .1 of a degree and the hyper 212 evo is equal to it.
