Champion-Craig
Go to solution Solved by Craftable124,

You should be fine. Also, try http://www.thermaltake.outervision.com/ for future reference. It'll give a rough estimate of the wattage you'll need.

Will the Corsair CX 600 Watt Power supply maintain these components without any problems? 

 

EVGA Geforce GTX 760

AMD FX 8350 Vishera

MSI 970A-G46 AMD 9 Series Motherboard - ATX, Socket AM3+, AMD 970 Chipset

Patriot Viper Xtreme 4GB Desktop Memory Module  X 2 = 8GB of Ram

Western Digital Black Hard Drive 1TB

Asus DRW-24B1ST 24X Internal DVD Burner

 

 

And just in case you wanted to know this is  the case:

nope no problems, 600 watts will be enough even with some OC'ing, if you want to SLI you will need to upgrade to 750 watts

Its not very advisable for 8 cores, especially not for overclocking. grab ud3 from gigabyte, it is heatsinked and has 8+2 power phases

I dont plan on overclocking, but I will look into the gigabyte motherboard.

I also have Corsair CX 600, I have question related to it, if I were to add another HD 7970 to my system (already got one) into crossfire, with that psu, what would happen? I am asking this because several guys around the web have told me that the psu can handle the crossfire just fine. I really doubt that with my system;

WD 2tb 

120gb ssd
