Enough for 1080p ultra or 1440p ultra/high fxaa in most demanding games.

 

But you should:

 

1. get 2 additional fans so you have 2 120mm intake and 1 120mm exhaust, the bitfenix ones are decent for 5 bucks or so.

2.If you care about quiet operation you could get a smal tower heatsink for the cpu and get a more silent psu, 

the 500w evga should power any single gpu gc youd put in there though so its fine if you dont want to spend more.
