Hello,
There are a lot of is PSU (x) powerful enough for build (y) threads out there but I couldn't find one that specifically covered a similar build to mine with such a small PSU.
My Build:
CPU: i5 4670K
MoBo: Gigabyte Z87X-D3H
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Blue 1600 DDR3
Cooler: Noctua NH-U12S
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 650 Ti OC
Case: Fractal Design R4 Define
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB
PSU: CX430M??????????? I have one already so seeing if I can save 70-80 bucks....
Everything I've read seems to suggest this would be enough power for an unoverclocked system it just may not be in the PSUs most efficient range.
I'm wondering
1) Is that true, should the CX430M be enough for this system as is.
2) Will overclocking make it not powerful enough and if so would it be 4.2, 4.4..., that I should draw the line at
3) The effect of adding and SSD .... seems to be < 5 w
Sorry if there is a thread that has these answers. If you could direct me to that it would be much appreciated.
