so I only have 500 watts psu with gt730 gddr5 and the cpu takes 95w + 125w on stcock cooler total of 530w im so confused will it run?

I'm seeing that GPU takes 25 watts.

95 watts sounds reasonable for a CPU.

125 watts sounds very high to me for a stock cooler......but even if it was 125 watts......I still think it will run.

Where are you getting 530 watts from?

95 watts on the processor is the max power that the cpu will use to run. The 125 watts on the cooler is the amount of power, dissipated through the cpu as heat, that the cooler can handle. The cooler doesn't use 125 watts, but it can cool a processor that does.

You have no problem.
You could run on as little as 200w.
What is the make/model of your psu.
If your psu is a cheap unit, then all bets are off.

soryy i thought the gpu takes 300 watts as it said in power requirements thanks for replying just want to know if athlon x4 880k has any problems cause its on its way for delivery i don't want to upgrade to like other motherboard or cpu

95 watts on the processor is the max power that the cpu will use to run. The 125 watts on the cooler is the am ount of power, dissipated through the cpu as heat, that the cooler can handle. The cooler doesn't use 125 watts, but it can cool a processor that does.

so its said stock 125w thermal solution im not familiar with cpu cooler its from amd which comes with athlon x4 880k

They might have recommended a 300 watt PSU for the GPU, but, i suspect it is a 75W or less load....(one source says it is only a 27 watt GPU)

It'll do a fine job keeping your processor cool.
