Do I have enough power to run everything?

[cjmccormick]

I have a custom gaming computer I put together this past February. I just updated the CPU from a i3 6100 to a i5 6600k.


Gigabyte LGA1151 Intel H110 Micro ATX DDR4 Motherboard GA-H110M-A
Gigabyte Nvidia G1 GTX 960 4GB GPU
16GB DDR4 RAM
1 SSD Drive
1 Mechanical Drive
Corsair Hydro H55 CPU Cooler
1 200m Fan
3 120m Fans

PSU is EVGA 500W 80plus certified


I used the Outervision calculator and it recommended this power supply which I currently have in my system. https://amzn.com/B00H33SFJU

Load Wattage: 314 W
Recommended UPS rating: 650 VA
Recommended PSU Wattage: 364 W

I noticed I have FPS drops after staying stable at a certain number for a few hours. I have GPUZ up and PefCap Reason gave me Power. Im not sure if my issue is power related or not

Also, I notice my GPU fan doesn't kick on until it is 65c. I don't think it is overheating because I am not getting no warnings or crashes. Any ideas or suggestions what my issue could be?

Power, sure. Your system doesn't even use 250W peak, so the 500W1 should be more than enough

Yeah, thats what I figured as well. I just don't understand what the problem could be then

Anyone have any other idea or suggestions what may be be causing this?

Anyone have any other idea or suggestions what may be be causing this?

1) Probably just a poorly programmed game that has some sort of memory leak (slows down the entire system, so fps drops)
2) If ALL games do that, it's likely temperature related

Only game I have played since installing it is World of Warcraft.
