Is my setup Okay ?

[Tech_15]

Hello Everyone,
I am actually making the parts list and planning for a Desktop Build. I have figured out everything Except somethings.......
First Thing. This is my setup:
● AMD A4 7300 (3.8 Ghz) with Cooler Master Hyper T2
● Asus A68HM-K Motherboard
● Dolgix 2GB DDR3 Single Stick
● Frontech PSU Model no. 2414A (From my Old PC)
● Seagate Barracuda 160 GB (From my Old PC)
■Note: My this setup's total Wattage according to PCPartPicker is about 135W.

Now my doubt is this setup okay or will there be anything that might create an issue ?

Fire it up, and see what happens...

2GB of RAM will be painful for any OS, except possibly for Linux...

depends what your gonna do with it... if your just playing minesweeper then yeah its great.
if your gonna try and play tombraider 2017 then not so much.

So you say it will work but neither it will be a gaming PC. That means my setup should work for normal day to day surfing...........

yes it will work. but all your ram will be taken up by the o.s. so you will be constantly hitting the hdd page file which will cripple performance.
in reality you need more ram. 4 gig would be a start. but even that wont be enough if you try to run windows 10 and chrome.

overall it will surf the web ok. maybe watch a 720p video or 2 and play very basic games, 1s you add more ram.

But according to Microsoft you need only about 1GB of RAM to run Windows 10

 

[HEXiT]

yeah. thats for the absolute basic notepad version of windows 10.
a home/pro install will take between 1.8 and 2.2 gigs 1s you install your basics like gfx drivers and antivirus you will be up to 2.5 or more.

I would also ditch that old Frontech PSU - - - it's cheap rubbish.

Buy a new one with a trusted brand name like Seasonic, Corsair, Antec etc

But is it okay to use that ? You know I am tight on budget. Is it okay ? Will it be sufficient ?
