Enough Power for Build?

Go to solution Solved by MrSuperb,

A System (total) with one GTX600 will draw about 250-300Watt under load from the wall !!!

The 450Watt spec is NOT from the wall, but on the DC side.

250-300Watt from the wall equal 225-270W (PSU @ 90% efficency)

thats about 180-225 Watt excess capacity.

Still a 450-550Watt PSU is a good choice for such a system, as most PSU are most efficent at about 50% load.

Im building a new computer for a friend consisting of a i5 4430 and a GTX 660 (non-ti) and im concerned if the psu linked is adequate to power these components. 

So the question is, is the VP-450 enough to power a gtx 660 and a i5? 

Thanks any help is appreciated rolleyes.gif

A 450 watt should be fine:)

Life is pain. Anyone who says any different is either selling something or the government.

it is just enough, your max power consumption is about 400w

wahaha ... bullshit

A GTX Titan + 3970X oced doesn't only seldom draw 400W from the wall(!)

So I guess that means its enough.

Yes, enoug power, but the PSU isn't really a high quality one

Which one would you recommend for a build like this?
