500w enough?

[Redfern]

Hi is this power supply enough for this build with a bit of overclocking? I already have it and was just wondering if I should get a 600w Corsair power-supply as I don't have too much to spend, thanks

I would go with a 650w, just to be safe.

550W is overkill for his system >.>

What do you plan on doing with the build?

I plan to do overclocking on the CPU and render, play games etc..

 

Also the XFX power-supply is out of stock everywhere in my country... any other suggestions? Thanks

TL;DR, he's built it all but the PSU.

Anything from XFX, Seasonic, or EVGA's B2/GS/GQ/G2 series would work well for you. The Corsair CX is a no-no for your system.

Yeah I have a EVGA G2 650w but it doesn't fit in the case, so ..  Would 500w be enough though?

500W would be enough, yes. Can you get an EVGA GS? I have one. It's the same size as a Corsair CX.
