Is my psu enough?

[kazell1]

My PSU is an enermax NAXN 80+ 500W.

I have currently
CPU: AMD FX-6300 (Not OC)
STORAGE: 1x 320 GB HDD (Unsure of brand CBF pulling out because poor cable management, am upgrading to 1TB WD BLACK HDD)
RAM: 8GB G.SKILL Ripjaws X

GPU: EVGA GTX 650 
MOBO: GIGABYTE 78LMT-2SP

i would like to put an EVGA GTX 780 into my system, but everytime i go to purchase one i always remember i only have a 500W PSU

Will it make the cut? or will i need to upgrade that aswel?

Ye it will be on the edge but as far as i know it'll work

You should be fine.

[ChrEW]

Just barely, but you be pushing your psu to the limit. 600 W is better

 PC's dont use that much power

It's nowhere near "being on the edge" his system under full gaming load uses like 370watt.

Since it's a quality PSU you won't have any problems. And if you do, you can just return the card in the first 2 weeks ^^

Wut ? It's not even 80+ bronze y u buy dis . It may work but i suggest an upgrade as soon as possible

is it seriously a quality PSU? i'd never really heard of the brand before (a friend sold me this PC as it currently is) and assumed it wasn't very good.

Op should be fine.

lol. ive only seen 2 off his vids so i haven't noticed

I'd suggest you get a better psu. I wouldn't trust a entry level psu with a high end gpu (But Enermax is a great psu OEM btw..just not their entry level lineups)

It will be almost 'on the edge'. That psu can only provide 408w on the 12v rails. So yeah..very close.But it will still run that gpu..

It will manage it but it's on the edge. Just get the graphics card and upgrade the psu to a six or seven hundred watt one next time you get money ~
