SMPS for my assembled pC

[adityasrinivasb]

Hi

 

I am planning to purchase an assembled PC next week. I have been watching some videos posted by linustechtips on youtube related to hardware components.

 

I am a bit worried about the the correct wattage of power supply needed for a PC with the following configuration. The shopkeeper says 500 watts cooler master thunder . Could somebody please answer if it is ideal for good overall performance.

 

Motherboard - ASUS Z97-A .

CPU - Intel core i7 4790K 4th generation

RAM - Kingston Hyperx DDR3 1600 or 1800 or 2100 MHZ 2 x 8 GB = 16 GB

PowerSupply -CM THUNDER 500W SMPS

Cabinet - Cooler Master 311 CABINET

Harddisk - 500 GB Seagate Barracuda ST500DM002 3.5 inch 7200 RPM

CPU cooler - Cool Master Hyper 212 EVO Cooler

Cabinet Fans - Cooler Master. 2 FANS

Optical drive - Samsung

Monitor - 19 or 20 inch LED dell monitor

 

Regards

As you haven't listed a GPU I'm going to assume you don't have one.

If so, than a 500W is fine for your build. (Pretty sure even with a Nvidia GPU a 500W PSU would still work)

 

If the store says the PSU is in the system, you would assume that it would be compatible.

It will power the computer with wattage to spare but this doesn't have a dedicated GPU so you won't be playing any demanding games on it.
