Enough Power?

[blackhawk13]

Well, long time no see, everyone! And it's time (again) to look into building my computer. Now that I have a full-time summer job, I CAN afford it, and will be choosing the Athlon root (I prefer them over Intel, don't know why). Anyways, I'll give you the build. I'm not really asking if this build will work or not (I'm pretty sure it will), but any input is appreciated! My main question is: Will this PSU actually have enough power to keep the machine going. .

Case: Canada Computers - Cases > Mid Towers : Thermaltake VB6000BWS Swing Middle Tower with Window (Black).
Mobo: Canada Computers - Motherboards > Socket AM2 : Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe Socket AM2 nVidia nForce 570 SLI Chipset Chipset 2 x PCI Express x16 Slot Full x16 Speed SLI Ready Dual-Ch DDR2/800/667/533 Serial ATA 3.0Gb/s Dual GB Lan 8-Ch High Definition Audio S
CPU: Canada Computers - CPU > Desktop AMD Processors : AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ (125W) Dual-Core Socket AM2, 3.0GHz, 1MB x2 L2 Cache, 2000MHz HT, 90nm (ADX6000CZBOX).
Video Card: Canada Computers - Video Cards > PCI-Express Cards > Powered By nVidia : Asus EN8600GT SILENT/HTDP/256M nVidia 8600GT Chipset (540Mhz) 256MB (1.4Ghz) DDR3 Dual DVI PCI-Express Graphics Card.
RAM: Canada Computers - Memory > DDR2 PC2-6400 800MHz + : OCZ (OCZ2VU8002GK) DDR2 PC2-6400 800MHz Vista Upgrade Edition 2GB (2x1024MB) Dual Channel Kit.
HDD: Canada Computers - Hard Drives > S-ATA Drives : Seagate Barracuda (ST3250620AS) 7200.10 250GB SATA NCQ 3.0Gb/s 16MB Cache (OEM).
PSU: Canada Computers - Power Supplies/Equipments > Desktop PSUs : Thermaltake 430W Power Supply (W0070RUC) PCI-Express, SATA, Dual 8cm Fans.
DVD Drive: Canada Computers - CD/DVD/RW Drives > Internal DVD Drives : Pioneer DVR-112DBK 18X DVD-Writer, Black, OEM.

Anyways, in short, it's an Athlon 6000+, with an 8600GT, powered by a 430W Thermaltake. Thanks!!

Wow that looks pretty sweet. Good choice. That costs a pretty penny.

EDIT: Actually now that i look at all the prices it doesn't cost that bad.

Just over $900 after taxes. Not too bad if you ask me. .

Instead of the Thermaltake PSU, you can get a Xclio or Antec PSU which has a better percentage of efficiency.

Alrighty. I switched it up for a 500 Watt Antec SmartPower PSU. Should be enough power for it. . Thanks for your help!

the 8600gt is a waste get either the ati x1950 or the 8800gts (320mb)

the cpu is a waste get the 5200x2 and overclock it or get a much cheaper mobo and cpu and wait 3 months with a semi decent amd system to then upgrade to a am2+ mobo and an AM2+ cpu

Intel would be a better performance alternative if you are not going down the am2+ route then amd is sadly lacking

Switched to the e6750 and the P5B Plus. But I'm keeping the 8600GT. I'm not a serious gamer, just need enough juice to keep it goin'.

I would go with a Corsair 450w VX instead. It is much better and only $8 more.

Newegg.com - CORSAIR CMPSU-450VX ATX12V V2.2 450W Power Supply 90 - 264 V UL, CUL, CE, CB, FCC Class B, TUV, CCC, C-tick - Retail

Yes eith er get the 450VX or an Antec 500W.

@phucng_10: If i were you i would consider fixing your sig- its rather large.

 

[blackhawk13]

Switched to the Corsair 450VX. . Should be a good enough system now.
