Is a 430w PSU enough for my GTX 1080?

Here's my rig:

MOBO: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K8KPXUO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Core i5 4440 3.10ghz

8 gigs of ram

an SSD and a HDD

EVGA GTX 1080 FTW

A decent 430w PSU would be enough, that PSU, on the other hand, is garbage, so no. 

[Billy_Mays]

No not enough PCIe power pins and I wouldn't trust it with a 1080 

[rn8686]

If were decent it would, but that is crap and I definitely wouldnt trust it with a 1080.

Put this way if u can spend 700-800aud in a graphics card why cant you spend a decent amount on a quality psu?

 

id say corsair rm650x or evga supernova g2 650w for starters. They are about 120-150aud+

Just today we had someone post about them plugging in a fairly nice rig and having the entire thing fry because they didn't listen and bought a shit-tacular PSU. Do yourself a favor and get something better.

[Sails]

Thank you all for responding so quickly, I really appreciate the recommendations and suggestions you guys made. And I will defiantly better a better PSU.

The 550W versions of both will work very well for anything non SLI

The PSU will probably do fine under lower loads (think 1050TI and a locked quad). Start pigtailing molex to PCIe connectors, and you are like to be pushing your luck with this tier of PSU.

Yes, that one will work also although I like having a little bit of headroom imo. Since operating around the 50-60% mark is most ideal. take 10aud off... is still quite good proposition for value.

 

[SlaughterSmurf]

Spend the extra $10 to get the 600W version.Then again I also wouldn't pair an i5 4460 with a GTX 1080 and 8GB of ram. It looks like you're set up for a mid range GTX 1060 system then randomly threw a 1080 in there. It looks very out of place in what is otherwise a solid mid range build. I mean with my 3570k at 4.4ghz I feel bottlenecked in most games with my 1080 @ 1440p. 

 

However to answer what you asked: it will probably work, the PSU will be running at 100% whenever you're gaming and if you OC the GPU you're really running in the red and may even break something. I would spend an extra 15% on the PSU for the peace of mind.

Why would you combine a 500$ graphics card with a 15$ Power Supply?!

I don't understand that people save that much on power supply - and then wonder why the system is not stable, has some random lockups and other quirks. Some of that shit can be related to a bad power supply...
