• Is 500W sufficient for this build?
    10 replies, posted
Well I've been stuck with this crappy 7 year old dell PC that doesn't work very well, and now finally I am granted a new PC, which me and my friend are composing. He's a huge nerd, so I believe he knows what's right and wrong and he says this build will work and that it is great. So does my technical father. But I want to know if 500W is sufficient, from which I have heard both yes and no. Here's the build; Asrock M3A770DE Corsair 4GB (2x2048MB) 1600MHz XMS3 AMD Phenom2 X6 1055T 2,8GHz Gigabyte Radeon HD4350 512MB HDMI (Two of these, using crossfire) 1TB Western Digital Caviar Green, SATA II Optiarc AD-7260S DVD RW Black SATA, OEM Corsair CX 500W thanks for your time
"Gigabyte Radeon HD4350 512MB HDMI (Two of these, using crossfire)" Why? And 500 should be enough.
that is a fucking terrible build and yes 500W will power it what's your budget, do you have an OS/peripherals and what is your main purpose so we can put something together that isn't a complete waste of money
