well guys im currently having power shortage on my new build budget gaming rig . here's the specs

AMD FX-6300 RUNNING ON STOCK 3.5 GHZ WITH BLIZZARD T2 AIR COOLER
ASROCK 970 EXTREME 3
CRUCIAL BALLISTIC SPORT 8 GB DDR3 1600 MHZ SINGLE STICK ( NO OC )
XFX HD 7770 CORE EDITION 1 GB ( WITH CUSTOM OVERCLOCKED MEMORY AND CLOCK 1120 CC /1300 MC FLASHED ROM)
WD BLUE 1 TB

GREEN POWER HUNTKEY 500 WATTS 80 BRONZE


found out that while gaming fx6300 uses 227 watts on full load

http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1729936/amd-6300-power-consumption.html

then the hd 7770 seems to eat 130 to 150 watts on full load.

so now i dont overclock the cpu until i get a new psu... my choice is

NZXT Hale82 V2 700watts review

is this ok please provide a feedback














 
Yes. You'd really be fine with another 500w PSU if it was good; the problem with your Huntkey Green is that it's cheaply made and doesn't actually provide the 500w it says it does. But, the NZXT Hale82 is a good PSU (52A on the 12v rail and generally good reviews) so you should have no problems with it.
