Can this build work with 500w

[Jordan1417]

Can I run a AMD FX 8350 with a EVGA 780ti Superclocked with only 500w? Any help would be appreciated.

Probably but not recommended.

It will work, but it's not recommended, get a larger PSU, high quality.

[skullbringer]

you are pushing the limits of the psu, not recommended

[Clyne]

What @AlwaysFSX said, you should get a 600w psu or higher to be safe and allow room for future upgrades or overclocking.

[Cokeman]

I agree 600W or higher. You wouldn't want to get 500W and destroy a $700 GPU

[salecar3]

you can go wight 500W but if u overclock cpu or a gpu a tiny bit you are gona fail so if u can add like 10 buks you coad get a 600 or 700W of psu unless you go forecheapest 500W one.You can go wight 500W and are gona be fine but you arent gona add anything alse so get 700W fore 10 buks extra

Alright, thanks for the advice. Would 750w be overkill? Or would it work fine? The power supply I was going to buy is here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139010&cm_re=750w_power_supply-_-17-139-012-_-Product    *Also on another note, the Graphics card I am going to be buying is Refurbished, but Newegg offers a warranty for refurbished items, since it is cheaper, would you recommend trying for the refurbished card? Thank you all for the help!

750 watt would be the sweet spot for efficiency.

[Yahhms]

That PSU will work great.

Thank you for the advice. I'm new here, and you all have been a great help!

It will work, but here is some advice, get an i5-4670k and pair it with a GTX780 non-Ti.  You will get worlds better performance.  You could even go for an R9 290 and still get incredible performance.  The FX is an ancient processor and it will bottleneck that high end of a GPU.

You should look at the PSU calculators from be quiet! and coolermaster. They will give you a good approximation of why your system will consume. Keep in mind to keep a good amount of safety margin.
