Is 550 watt PSU enough for my PC ???

[PrinxceAli]

I am going to build the Gaming PC and need help in choosing PSU. I want to know will 550 watt PSU enough for my rig, as I little OC both my CPU and GPU. Here is my PC specification.
ASRock 970 Pro3 R2.0
AMD FX 8350
MSI R9 270X
Corsair Vengenence 8x2 GB 1600 Mhz
Seagate 1 tb Barracuda SD 1000DM003
CD/DVD RW

4 PC Cabnet fan 120mm (I can also use 2)

Which one PSU
Corsair VS550
Zalman ZM600-LX

 

[Quaddro]

yes, even 500 watt psu can run your system flawlessly..

Zalman PSU is a better unit than corsair vs series. Well, that is lowest end PSU from corsair.

But, i suggest you to take better unit than both of that.
SeaSonic S12II 520 (non modular) or SeaSonic M12II 520(modular)with bronze certification is suit to your need.

Both selected PSU's are budget units and plenty for the build so quality wise they are similar, I would get the cheaper one.

Yes it is good you should go for cx 500 instead. it is better than vs 550. Or maybe cx 600 if you need. But a 500w would be enough.

 

[RamonFR]

buy the SeaSonic M12II 520 instead,more stability.

I am searching for Cheap one and which perfectly meet my need

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Corsair VS550 will run your specs.

I meant the cheaper of the two doubt if you find anything good cheaper.

The PSU you suggested was not quite cheap

You got confused! I was referring to these from your original post
Corsair VS550
Zalman ZM600-LX

 

[Quaddro]

well..
PSU is the source of life of all of your hardware..
Bad PSU will do some damage to your system
Don't ever go to with cheap PSU or lowest tier from a brand if you still can afford better unit..

You mention that you want to overclock it..

And it is obvious on the PSU selections that OP is not shopping in the US!

Your system will run fine on 500watts so no need to recommend 650. Corsair is a better known name but I would be inclined to go with the Zalman on this one for the slightly more capacity.

 

[Beezy]

You will be fine but if you ever want to overclock and or run 2 graphic cards id lean towards 600+ corsair, antec, or seasonic brand. 550 watts will be plenty for your build as is
