Intel i5 7500 + Asus ROG Strix b250g Motherbaord

[t0m3927]

Hi just checking if the above CPU and motherboard combination will work as I'm new to PC building and this is my first build. Also, I am going to pair this with a GTX 1050ti dual fan and 8Gb of corsair vengeance lpx RAM. Will 550W be enough to power this system?

Thanks in advance for the replies.

Hi, Theoretically, yes to all. Practically, it might depend on the PSU brand.

Thanks for the quick answer, the PSU I was thinking of buying would be the Coolermaster Masterwatt 550 Semi-Modular.

Thnks.

Most 550 watts will work but don't buy junk, a good quality 450 watt would work fine.
I would look at the price of a i3 8100 and budget Z370 board. It should be about the same price and give about the same performance but update you to the latest tech.
