Need to know if I have enough wattage!

Laycoon

The exact PSU I have is a: CORSAIR CX-M Series CX450 450W 80 PLUS BRONZE Haswell Ready ATX12V & EPS12V Semi-modular Power Supply

 

Need to know if it can handle these specs:

-i5-8400

-Stock Intel cooler

-Gigabyte B360M-D3H

-2x4GB 2400mhz

-EVGA GTX 970

-1TB 7200RPM

 

Thanks in advance! :)

Yeah that's more than enough

 

If you are in the US the CX450M is cheaper than the CX450 currently

Just make sure the 970 only uses a single 6/8 pin plug, as the CX450 only has one.

I'm a bit confused. Probably the M, though, as he mentioned the CXM and semi modular

i'd rather run a higher wattage power supply at less load than a low wattage power supply at full load.

 

try it out , if it fries rebuild it with a better power supply.
