So I am building a pc for my brother and I have an unused 430w modular corsair psu in the house. He will be playing mostly 720p and the games wont be too demanding so the gfx card will be fine.
Basically I want to know if that psu will be fine for that gpu and cpu with 1 or 2 hdd, possible overclocking and 8gb ram.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Yes a 430W will be adequate.
Logan did a video abou tthe 4770k & the GTX670 and he didn't even reach 300W on load. and those are both more powerful/power hungry components.
thanks man, just wanted to be sure, underpowering stuff isnt the best idea in the world.
have you already bought that CPU and GPU, because you can really do a lot better for the money
The new athlon x4 750k is only like $75 and the 650ti boost is a decent card I would say it sounds like a good low to mid range machine.
