Kaminski wrote So I'm going to build a pc soon and I NEED to make sure that a 600w will work with this build, I have an intel and AMD build, I'll mostly be gaming and probably just start a little youtube channel with a little bit of editing so yeah, thanks!
AMD option:
CPU: AMD-fx 8350
MOBO: ASrock 990fx Extreme3
Intel option:
CPU: Intel Core-i5 3570k
MOBO:Asrock Z77 Extreme 3


GPU: XFX Double D Radeon HD 7970
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4gb)
CPU COOLER: Cooler master hyper 212 evo
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1 tb 7200rpm
SSD: Adata Premier pro sp600 32gb
PSU: Corsair CX 600w 80+ bronze

please leave any suggestions/changes if you think I should look into it, this is around $1000 CDN so thats about my budget. Thanks!

SSE wrote Yes 600w would be "enough" make sure is a good quality psu Antec, XFX, Corsair, Seasonic, Rosewell.

Im using a i7 3770k @4.5GHz and a HD 7970 mild Overclock on a Antec VP550w.


with no problem, you will be fine with a good 600w PSU

Thanks! I just need to make sure I don't have any problems. I'm getting an 80+ Bronze Certified so I think It'll be okay.

what PSU is it? make and model?

Diaboli wrote With the Intel build you should be okay, as long as you don't do stupid overclocks on the i5 and 7970.

With the AMD build I'm honestly not too sure. It'd be safer to go with a higher wattage, closer to 700.

Should I use the AMD or Intel build though? I probably won't OC the CPU but the GPU on the other hand..
