You can use this PSU calculator to check (It is important to list components as accurately as possible especially power hungry items like gpu, hdds )

Personally i have no knowledge of the chieftec brand so i cannot comment on the reliability of its power ratings. Be on the safe side and leave more safety overhead when deciding.


Cheers,

675watts available on 12v rails...it SHOULD be able to hold a 5700 quite comfortably.

But the question shouldn't be can it power your new GPU, but 'can you feel safe using a low-cost PSU of uncertain build quality'. It doesn't appear to me be tagged with any 80+ certifications...that "85+" badge I do see looks a bit sketch to me. I have to think most of the PSU guru's won't like it and will recommend getting something better.

Also, if more than 3 or 4 years old components inside have probably shifted values enough that it's not even performing up to the spec's it originally met.
