PSU compatibility help

[j7j]

Hello,

I'm building a new PC with below components but I'm not sure if 600w is enough or even if it can fit into a mircotower, I really appropriate an second opinion on the PSU & the components.
Thank you.

Case: Prodigy M Micro ATX Tower Case
Ram: 16GB
Mobo: GIGABYTE GA-H87M-D3H
CPU: Intel Core i7-4770
GPU: Geforce 8800 GTS
MISC: Win7 x32bit, 3x SATA Internal HD, 120mm Fan

PSU: 1 x OCZ GameXStream OCZ600GXSSLI 600W ATX12V SLI CrossFire Active PFC Power Supply

I'd get more than one fan into that case. Things might get a little hot.

I'd also look into getting something modular. Less cables.


Seasonic 700W Modular

thanks for the advice.
I didn't think of any modular or semi modular.

Ummm I'm kinda wondering about that graphics card. Do they even make those anymore?

Aside from that, everything else should be fine. You don't necessarily need to change PSU, but I do agree with AMDFaith, on going Modular. Being able to just unplug all those extra wires and remove them is great for cable management.

Yeah, that graphics card is gonna bottleneck the crap outta that 4770. Not enough power to run any modern games. It may fit the small form factor, but I know for sure that BitFenix case can hold quite a system if you fit it correctly.

When they were still selling that card on Newegg it was at $145! You can get a nice 750Ti for that price.

Newegg - EVGA 750 TI (159.99 - 149.99 after mail-in rebate)

yeah, it is pretty old.
I brought it quite a while ago.
in that case I'm better off using the onboard video than adding it to it the mobo.

unfortunately, the cpu fan from my brand new i7 isn't working.
would you be provide a suggestion on that?

It shouldn't the fan header because it works with the sys fan so shouldn't be the mobo.
Everything else is power so shouldn't be the PSU.
