Hello, you probably have guest what this thread is about.So im looking for a PSU but i dont know if 450w will be enough(XFX 450w core edition 80+ bronze) so here are my system specs:
FX 6300
GTX 650 TI Boost
Gigabyte ga970 ds3
WD cav green 500gb
Zalman Z9 plus(has 4 fans and a fan controller stock)
Corsair veng 2x2GB 1600mhz stick

Im bad at reserching so this is why i made the post.
 


Hi - Yes the XFX450 will run that system. You may see recommendations of
500w & above, but don't be concerned. GPU sellers overstsate PSU
requirements to allow for PSU's with fictitious ratings, and older PSU's
with insufficient amperage on the +12v rail.

You need 24a (30-32 if you stress test) on the +12v rail and the XFX450
has 34a on the +12v rail, you are good to go.
