[SOLVED] Can a GENERIC PSU handle this

Solution
R3 2200g + gigabyte a320 + 8x2 2666mhz memory with600w generic psu
If its an oem unit with atleast a brand and its not those chinese psus then yes it will power it but expect alot of voltage offset, yes its also possible to oc on a generic psu, i pushed a p4 631 to 5.656ghz @ 1.8875vcore and 2.46v pll (the main cause of degredation), tho i dont reccomend it it does work but please just do it on an old lga 775 system, and for extreme voltage offests heres the info i can give, when using a pentium e5300, i set bios voltage to 1.59v but it actually gives my cpu 1.8v, so please for the love of god dont do this at all, and no the 3$ 500w psu still lives to this day and will still oc a cpu given the person ocing the cpu has the...

And please dont be like me and set your cpu voltage really close to the cpu killpoint voltage, for 45nm its around 1.9-2v, if you are a beginner that is forced to use a crap psu then expect a STEEP learning curve, heres my tips on searching for a half decent oem psu thats enough to power your system, 1. Search for the ones that look like they have been in the "basement" aka the ultra generic looking ones with small fans on their back and not on top (not the chinese psu looking ones that are completeley black and have a big fan), if they do have a fan on the top, search for the one that has a really generic look to it like the fan cover being similar looking to a case fan grill, 2. search for the branded ones, 3. Make sure its USED and not NEW, 4. Buy a higher power unit 500w should be good enough for a normal build. Since i dabble in crap hardware you can trust my tips relating to crap hardware, WARNING : BUYING GENERIC OEM PSU HAS A VERY SHARP LEARNING CURVE IF IT HAS EXTREME VOLTAGE OFFSETS (+200mv) if its negative than thats just normal vdroop

Is there a video card in this configuration? If not, why don't you just use a 500W PSU instead of a 600W? And if you are looking for a budget PSU, I have used the thermaltake smart (white) series. They are super cheap and they work. I have used the 500w PSU before with no issues.
