definitely. seasonic is a reputable brand, and most single GPU systems are find with 500 Watts unless you are using known power hungry parts.

It'll  be more than enough, yes.

 

 

 

It should be.

 

 

 

The recommended PSU to run that card and have ample headroom is 500W.

To safely run the card it is recommended to have at least 28A on the 12V rail. Your PSU is solid quality wise, and is well beyond the minimum specs needed to run the card. You're set.

OK guys thanks for your information hahaha..

Well thanks for your suggest hahaha
