sfx psu

I'm building a small form factor gaming PC next year and was wondering if 450W would be sufficient.

 

Here are my components:

 

3770k oc @ 4.2 ghz

gtx 670 

2x8 gb 

ssd

odd

external hdd

4x120mm fans

1x92mm fan

custom loop (240mm radiator & swiftech apogee drive II)

 

This is the power supply I am speaking of.

450 watts is pretty good 500 watts prefer tho

Depends on the power supply, would need to have enough amps on the +12V rail.

Your pushing it, but I've seen people have a gtx 670 with that psu.

Look in the original post for the psu

Not an issue at all, that PSU is rock solid.

I would say its on the safe limits, just in case if you can get 500, the PC should use up about 390-430W but you need to give a margin. If you get any kind of issues you can always lower the overclock of your CPU and/or GPU.

 

so you decide, keep iit and try out or be sure with 500W

I wouldn't risk it, go for a 500/600w to give you some head room.

On a PSU calculator website it said 450W was the recommended and about 400W was the minimum.

 

As others have said if I am using more than the power supply can handle than I will lower my overclocks on my CPU and GPU, or perhaps there will be more power efficient component I will choose by 2014 ... Nvidia Maxwell (my last name) or AMD Volcanic Island new series of graphics cards I can't wait, this build will be awesome! (and will be posted in the build logs section)
