Is 500W enough?
Last response: in Systems
I just purchased this build and I think I might have picked out too small of a psu. Will a 500W psu be able to handle this build?

More about : 500w
Best solution
500W is fine, I'd say you're good for your specs. You might want to look at another motherboard (unless there are specific features found only on that board) since the Z77 chipset provides no real advantage over the H77 chipset if not overclocking perhaps something like this http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-gah77...
