PSU vs CPU/GPU??

h0MbrE · 05-20-2009, 08:35 PM

I'm about to attempt to build a budget gaming rig. Below are the specs of the power supply and graphics card I have selected (the psu comes with the case). Can anyone tell me if the PSU can handle running this graphics card/cpu combo with 4gb of DDR2 system memory? I'm going to use an Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 Wolfdale 2.8GHz with this rig.

Specs on Rosewill Power supply :
-Proprietary IC & unique design
-Embedded thermal sensor
-Low-noise variable fan
-Various safety protection
OCP (Over-current),
OVP(over-voltage),
SCP(short-circuit),
UVP(under-voltage),
OPP(over-power)

Connector:
1 x 20+4 pin MB connector
4 x Peripheral power connector
1 x Floppy power connector
1 x Serial ATA connector
1 x P4 connector

Output: 400W Max.
+3.3V 20A, +5V 14A, +12V1 14A, +12V2 13A, -12V 0.3A, +5VSB 2.5A

What Tyree said plus,

Quote:

Output: 400W Max.

you may want to kick up the wattage to a minimum of 600 watts depending on what else you want to run.
