[SOLVED] Can a aps-520w support an i7 8700 and an gtx 1060?

[Stefan2431]

I want to upgrade my cpu,ram and motherboard,so I want to know if my PSU is good enough to supply those components.
New motherboard:ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-G GAMING
New cpu:Intel® Core™ i7-8700, 3.2GHz/4.6GHz
New RAM:KINGSTON HyperX Fury Black, 2x8GB DDR4, 3200Mhz
PSU:APS-520w

It has 470W available at the +12V rails. That is sufficient for the i7-8700 and GTX 1060 as long as there is no OC'ing involved.

I don't want to overcloack .im fine with the performance they can offer.

Then you should be fine. Actually, I was being extremely cautious. If the system were mine, I'd still do some OC'ing with that PSU. So yes, hang on to the PSU if it is in good condition.

Or should I get this one :XILENCE XP730R8, 730W

750W is plenty to power a i7-8700 and 1060 GB.

but is the psu compatible with the components?

Did you edit your original post? I recall you asking about a CX750M not a APS-520W.

But yes, the CX750M PSU will provide ample cables for the GPU (one 8-pin).

Only if you plan on some major performance upgrade in the future. There's not even many new dual gfx cards any more that demand a 730W PSU.
