hey guys! I have a zalman ZM500-GS 500w psu and i am curently running an i3 2120 3.30 ghz a gtx 760 oc version 4gb of ram and i have 2 fans. i think that my psu cant handle any more stuff so will i need more power if i upgrade my ram to 2 sticks of 4 gb or i can do it with my current psu?

Well, Each stick of Ram will consume about 3-4 Watts of power... so i would assume you would be fine..

hmm.. ok.. if i have problems i will buy a new fan and i will replace my old because i have a veeery old fan that does much noise and i think it has much power consumpsion what do u think?

Yeah, the Cpu only draws about 65w and the GPU about 170.. you will be fine + 3 to 4 watts is nothing

you will be fine with that, but if the noise bothers you i would suggest grabbing another fan, i love my water cooler its noiseless! pricey though >.>.. and the ram will work fine

Fans dont draw very much power... you will be fine with that, but if the noise bothers you i would suggest grabbing another fan, i love my water cooler its noiseless! pricey though >.>
