Choosing my power supply?

[Bimodal Healer]

I used the cooler master power wattage helper tool linked In the video about picking a power supply. It told me I was gonna end up using 168 watts. However, I have a 220 watt power supply would that be sufficient to run the system?

LOL. Firstly you have to list down all your components,then only we can tell whether it is sufficient or not.

Sorry i should have thought of that.

 

Components-

 

CPU-AMD A10-6790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor

CPU Cooler-My CPU cooler is the one from my old system so im not sure on that sorry.

Motherboard-ASRock FM2A55M-VG3+ Micro ATX FM2+ Motherboard

HDD-Hitachi Travelstar Z7K500 500GB 2.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Drive-Asus DRW-24B3ST/BLK/G/AS DVD/CD Writer

OS-Microsoft Windows 8.1 (OEM) (64-bit)

RAM-A-Data XPG V1.0 4GB (1 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

After looking at it all and the calculated wattage, (180 is Calculated wattage) would my 220 watt supply do the job? Should I just buy a larger Power supply?

You're missing the most important part--the psu.

I know the 220 watt  PSU came stock on my old pc. I'm not sure about the spec because of the fact it came stock.

IF it is a prebuilt system, it is enough but just. You should replace it immediately though as it is cheap and you don't know when it will explode/die.

It should have specs and/or indication of what kind of psu it is on it.
