I have a Corsair CX430 power supply. Do you guys think it is enough to power my build?

M5A78L-M LX plus motherboard
AMD FX6300 6-core 3.1ghz processor (also getting a cooler master hyper 212 evo for cpu)
Two 4gb sticks of Hyperx blue ram
Radeon HD 7750 1gb graphics card
One 250gb hard drive and a 150gb (both sata drives)
Two 500gb external drives
A random CD drive from an old computer
I haven't overclocked anything and I don't plan to

The reason I'm asking this is because the graphics card has been artifacting in games and it's brand new. I've tried different drivers, I've also checked the temps and it rarely goes over 60C while gaming. I tried it in a different computer too, and that didn't change anything so maybe the card is just bad.

Yea, sounds like your GPU is going bad man.

Oh, and your PSU is enough for the build, but, it wouldn't be a terrible idea to put in a larger one later on. Get a nice rated 650w+ Sea Sonic later on, if budget allows.

Return the card.
 


Yeah, I thought it was probably the card. I'm gonna get a new card when I get payed in a few days, do you think my current psu would be fine for this one? May as well upgrade if I have to buy a new card. Can afford to buy a new psu too if needed.

Yea, the 750 ti is a low power card, so you should be good 2 go.

Just RMA that other card, and even keep as a back up, use for another build, or sell it... I like keeping back ups, since they come in handy if you have have issues like you're facing now.

Good luck man.
