Will it run?

[TristenM]

Hey, quick question

 

I’ve got an i7 3770 3.4ghz

And my current GPU has died,

I have a replacement but am unsure if it’ll work with my PSU

 

PSU is a Corsair CX 450M

so dual six pin for PCIE 

 

will it work, or am I going to run into power issues for the rest of the system

Well according to my local eshop that I normally use... The GPU requires a 500W PSU, HOWEVER... They have quite a bit of margin so it should run with 450W.

 

Unless you have a lot of RGB, overclocking or generally a lot of things that draws power from the PC.

EDIT: Also if the PSU is very old it may have a problem.

It’s within 5 yrs old and I had boughten it new - the new case I’m moving everything into does have a 240mm and two 120mm fans w/ RGB so it seems an upgraded PSU is in order

I think you'll be fine but if upgrading PSU is an option then it will be best to do so.

I’m just torn between building a new pc in the new case I was given.

and moving my current build into the new case  

 

id be moving a microITX board into a case that’s XL-ATX compatible

Hehe if you do that you should have plenty of room in the case.  

 

Well 3rd gen I7 and R9 270 are quite old. If you can, I say build yourself a nice new machine. Just set up a budget and maybe save up for a little bit. People ask for recommendations based on budget around these boards all the time and they get sound and good advice.
