Hey everyone... new here...

I'm upgrading my PC (basically building a new one with the odd part carried over) and I'm wondering if my Corsair SF450 (gold certified) will be enough? PSU Calculators vary, some say yes, some say no.

My planned build is:

Fractal Define Mini C
i5 6600k (already purchased)
MSI Mortar Z270 M-ATX motherboard
XFX RX-480 GTR 4GB (currently have a GTX-770 but plan on swapping it ASAP)
NZXT Kraken X52 Cooler
16GB (2x8) Corsair Vengeance DDR4 RAM 3000mHz
Sandisk 960GB SSD (from old PC)
Corsair SF450 (also from old PC)

Might also add a couple of Corsair SP120 case fans :)

So if anyone knows whether my PSU will be up to the job, at least in the short term, I'd love to know. I do plan to overclock but I don't mind if that can't happen immediately. Also any advice on the new build in general I'd love to hear!

Cheers

EDIT: Also if the PSU isn't gonna work, feel free to suggest a reasonably priced modular PSU for the job. (Must be modular)

Yes, but barely. And only because the Corsair SF model is a decent quality unit with 2 x 6-pin connectors. Most times, a 500W is the minimum recommended for the RX-480. But with your +12V rail rated at 37.5A/450W, it should be able to handle it. I would not attempt any OC'ing with it however.
