Is my PSU going to be enough?

[NikkiDennis6]

Well hello there!
Brand new into PC building here,and i just bought my parts to build my PC 😀

As i spoke to a few people about my specs,alot of people said that
my power supply wont be enough for gaming as i was intending to use my PC for it in the first place.
I'd love if you could take a look at the parts i got and if you could please give me any tips of what i should do.

CPU: Intel Pentium G3258 (probably OC'ing it to 4.2GHz)
GPU: Sapphire Radeon R7 370 Nitro 2Gb
RAM: 8Gb Crucial Ballistix Sport 1600Mhz
MOBO: Gigabyte B85M-HD3 R4
HDD: Toshiba 1Tb
SSD: Kingston V300 120Gb
PSU: be quiet! Pure Power L8 400W
Case: Cooler Master K280

Upgrading to a 430 or 450w would be best. Since the 370 uses quite some power compared to other cards in its range like the 750ti. Get a xfx ts 430 or antec 450w PSU. They are cheap and reliable and good quality.

Thanks for your opinion dude,but the current problem is that i already bought my pc parts and i should acquire them tommorow,i just need to know if the psu that i got can handle gaming.

Your PSU will give you 360 watts on the +12volt rail / 30 amps. Your power use for the 370 is about 150 watts and the G3258 is 53 watts at stock clocks plus the rest of the system uses some power too. You should be maxing at around 250 watts with overclocking pushing it a bit higher. It's not ideal but it should work ok. If you have random shutdowns you'll have to get a larger PSU.

RMA the PSU. I may work, but you are pushing it.

The problem is that i cant RMA it cause the online store that i got it from doesnt support it

Then let's hope you won't have any issues. You probably won't have, but if some arise, know thet the PSU is the most likely culprit.
