4790k on a 220W PSU

[Guest]

So my friend wants to upgrade his Acer Aspire x1930.
I want to know if the 220W PSU from the x1930 can handle the new upgrade components.

There's a lot more power supply calculators on google.

Will it run? Maybe. Probably not. But to be safe, it definitely needs more power. Especially if he intends to game or overclock at all.

Also, what graphics card is he using? that's a biggggg difference in power to know that. The graphics card is one of the most power-using parts, some can use 250watts + by itself.

He wont be overclocking it and also he's not gonna use graphics card only for the meantime. If that's the case will the 220w PSU run without the overclocking adding GPU?

If it was a quality 220w unit, it would be fine, but it is junk, so no, it will likely not work at all.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151090 something like this will keep that safe.

Honestly he should get a new case and new PSU.

Get a cheap case like a NZXT Source 210 and a cheap but quality PSU like an Antec VP-450.

But don't get the Source 210 and that Seasonic unit. It wouldn't fit. The VP 450 tiny suggested is a great unit for the price.
