power supply check

[numbaname]

noob question, but can someone tell me if my system has enough power given the following parts? I am building a new system myself for the first time and I have no idea if I got the right power supply...  :wacko:

What PSU? Am I not seeing it or is it not there?

[killtothis]

I'm assuming the case comes with a cheap CM PSU which although not fantastic units, should provide enough power.

 

EDIT: I'll assume the unit is the 500w CM Elite, correct me if I'm wrong.

Comes with the Case.

Yes, 500 watts for that configuration is enough.

Oops thanks. Tired i guess. What he said. That is enough.

Bare in mind you can purchase that case without a PSU, I know we're both assuming its likely to be a CM Elite unit (those seem to get bundled with CM cases at many vendors) If it is then fine,of course  it may not be the best unit out there it should run fine,if it's not we'd need to know exactly what it is, we've all seen units labelled as 500watt that would struggle to pull half that figure.

The real question is can that power supply deliver 500W. Chances are, no.

[Sors]

That system does not require 500 watts.  So if the PSU that came with the Case can or can not deliver 500 is not a major concern.

 

Worst case scenario, the system will be pulling 300 watts from the wall.  I would think the actual power usage would be around 200-250 watts.

[killtothis]

I wasn't implying that it would need to hit 500 watts, I was speaking more of the general potential quality of the unit itself. I'd agree 250 watt would be a decent estimate at usage (MSI's PSU calculator agrees also) The point I was making is its more important to know which PSU it is, CM use a number of different units.

As much as this should be posted in the correct section of the forum, yes. You'll be fine.

[numbaname]

sorry about posting in wrong section..

 

ya it came pre-installed with the case (i think the combo would've saved me 20 dollars if i had to buy seperate..) 

 

thanks for the answers!

Yes, of course

 

And good luck with the build
