300w enough for this setup?

[gameboy3800]

hello! i'm building a system, and i'm wondering if a 300w Silverstone SFX 80+ Bronze unit will be enough to power and slightly overclock a system with these specs:

i7 6700k cpu

RX 480 gpu

Asus Z170i ITX mb

8gb 2800mhz ddr4

240gb OCZ sata III ssd

1tb WD hdd

all inside a Define Nano S case with whatever fans come with it plus maybe a couple more of my own.

 

i know that there are recommended minimums, but they are really conservative.

NO!

[Oshino Shinobu]

No. 500W and up would be my recommendation, even without overclocking. 

[RuLeZ]

No way, 450W without ANY OC, 550W+ with OC.

It would run it, but only just. It's probably fine to run non-OC for a while until you get a better power supply

 

I'm more concerned about the quality of the Silverstone unit than its actual rated wattage, but you will be fine running it OC'd on 450W.

 

Of course all the people who shout NO didn't actually look at actual power consumption (I do have to say, it's always good to have a surplus of rated power on your power supply)

i'm just going to return the 300w and see what else is available just to be safe.

doesn't the define nano s support normal atx power supplies?

It is but don't overclock and just return the unit anyways and get a Corsair SF600.

Even the SF450 is perfectly fine and the 600 Watter doesn't actually have more PCI-E connectors even though it could

 

Do keep in mind that they don't come with an adapter bracket for mounting on a traditional case

i just looked it up. it can hold a 160mm atx unit. should've looked at that beforehand i guess.

Then it's CX450M for you

 

Or get a 650 if you can afford it to keep the option of crosssfire open

sounds like a plan.

it's an itx system. so unless i want to step it up to a radeon pro duo, crossfire isn't an option.
