Is 550W PSU enough for fx8350 and gtx9800 for time being?
I am assembling a PC, but got worried about power.
I haven't turned the setup ON just yet, I have to get a HDD to install OS
The PSU is Corsair CXM550 w.
The graphics card is XFX gtx 9800.
I don't plan on using gtx 9800 for long, ideally I would like to upgrade to 1050ti or much more ideally 1060 in distant future.
What you guys think? WIll it be safe or will it blow up?
No overclocking planned with that CXM550w, I mostly use Linux, browsing, youtube, twitch, Quake 3.
The gtx9800 and CXM550 is currently in DDR2 rig with Athlon 64 x2 6400.
