I have a 600w Raidmax psu

I am thinking to upgrade my pc.

Intel 3570k

Msi Geforce Gtx 670 power edition,

7 case fans

h60 with 1 fan

2 Hard drives

1 ssd

1 optical drive.

8 gigs Kingston hyperx ram.

and a Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H

Edit: i will be overclocking the cpu to about 4.2 ghz.

Will 600w be enough for that?

Thank you in advance.

I've said this already with the other thread, but:

That raidmax unit is actually closer to a 400-450w unit, given the rail distribution. While you could run it without anything shutting down, I wouldn't recommend overvolting the card too much. Longevity may also be affected, but that probably isn't too much of an issue given the unit does have OPP.

I'd recommend upgrading to a quality 550w PSU.
If you are going for a better power supply, go for a Seasonic or Corsair brand. They are both great psu brands. The Seasonic G-series or the Corsair TX series are good ones.
