New build, PSU size for OC.

Neox · Feb 20, 2012

Hi ya' all!

I'm completely new in here, and maybe you guys get this question alot, but i really has to get a concrete answer, or i will not be able to stop thinking about it.

So, it's like this. Is a Corsair TX650 big enough for this build:

Intel i5-2500K
ASUS P8Z68-V Pro
Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB, 1600MHz
ZOTAC GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 Cores 1280 MB
Crucial M4 SSD 128 GB
WD Caviar Green 500gb HD. + a External WD harddrive on 500gb.
DVD-RW
+ 2 catodes, and 2 fans.

I have tried a couple of the online calculators, but i would really like to hear your's opinion.

Keep in mind, that i would like to be able too overclock both the CPU and GFX. Not overclock like crazy, but keep a good stable OC, and the possibility to try a high OC.
- It would be awsome if my old 650W is good enough for this!

Sorry if ya have got this question alot - and sorry for my english too. I'v tried to spell as good as possible. English ain't my native language.

Thanks alot in advance!

My bad if i have placed this, in the wrong categori.

650W would be fine! Corsairs series of PSUs are very good!

de.das.dude · Feb 20, 2012

yes 650W is ok!

Feänor · Feb 20, 2012

You are quite good, unless you intend to go SLI in the near future. In that special case, i'd go for a 750w. Otherwise, you have a good oc session ahead of you!

You're good to go.

650W is pretty good for that build

BrettRuthnam · Feb 21, 2012

For what its worth, my pc is similar to yours and uses just under 400w while gaming

JrRacinFan · Feb 21, 2012

Even a quality built 500W would be sufficient.

150w tops overclocked 2500k.
200w tops overclocked 448.
Yeah 650w is fine and gives you room for more.
