500W PSU enough for this rig?

[James Savery]

Im planning on upgrading my CPU to a AMD FX8350 Black Edition, the issue is that I only have a 500W PSU.

Here's my basic system Specs:
GA-990XA-UD3 Motherboard
AMD FX4100
4gb 1600mhz RAM
AMD HD 7870
OCZ 500W CoreXStream PSU
1TB HDD
500GB HDD

Will I be able to run the above specs on a 500W PSU ?
Cheers for the help !

I would get a better one (more wattage). Get a Corsair cx600 (600W) atleast.

you might get away with a 500w, but its risky.

Your PSU Wattage range is fine , you can run your specs with it.

Yeah, I've read from other places online that given a high quality PSU it can run, though under peak loads it can be a problem.
What do you think, will 500 Watts be enough for my specs at peak capacity ?

I like to have extra power myself.
