Is my PSU good enough?

[ZyzzBrah]

Hello everyone,


I'm going to get the following setup when my pocket fills a little bit more, hopefully soon... and I was wondering if the current PSU I'm getting would be enough for the PC parts that I'm gonna purchase, here's the list:


Case: Coolermaster Force 500
Processor: Intel Core™ i3 3220 Ivy Bridge 3.3GHZ
Motherboard: MSI H61M-P31/W8
Graphics Card: Zotac GeForce GTX 650 2GB (non-ti)
RAM: Kingston 8GB DDR3 1300MHZ
Hard Drive: Western Digital 500GB
PSU: Seasonic 500W A. PFC


Is it good enough, and will it handle these components? (I'm gonna make a dual-screen setup and hook up a subwoofer too if that counts)


Thanks, and excuse my lack of knowledge regarding computers...

Yes, most certainly.

Can anyone explain to me a little bit perhaps, please? I'm kinda lost and I prefer long answers with more explanation.

Thanks

Hi - realhardtechx suggests (their expertise) a quality 400w PSU for a system
with one gtx650. Additionally this PSU should have a minimum of 20amps on
the +12v rail(s). Your Seasonic PSU exceeds these requirements substantially.

You didn't post your exact Seasonic model #, but I've not seen any Seasonic
500w unit with less than 33amps on the +12v rail(s), and most have 34-35.

The +12v rail(s) is where your most power hungry components, the CPU & GPU
draw their power from
