Is the powersupply enough for my skylake build?

[ninja0347]

Hello everyone,

I'm thinking of building a skylake PC later on and this what I have so far: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/JngNXL Is the power supply enough or should I get something different?
Also If you wish to recommend different parts around the same price that'd be great aswell.
I will be using this for gaming and some video rendering.

Thank you.

You could get by with it but a higher quality unit with a bit more headroom would be much better. Here's an inexpensive high quality unit-

I have to agree with Archaic59, the CX 430 should be ok, but I personally wouldn't use it, its not vary good quality. Because its branded by Corsair, dosn't mean its always good, Corsair has their good units, but that CX is far from that.

I can also Vouch for the Seasonic S12II 520, I have the same unit powering a Phenom II x6 1100T and 2x HD 5850's, its been doing really well considering how much power that system uses. It also has a built in circuit breaker, short it out or overload it, it will shut off, unplug it and plug it back in good to go. The CX will not, I blew up 2 of them at the PC shop I work at powering a GTX 970, and a stock i5 3570 non k.

If you choose a best answer, give the credit to Archaic59, I was simply giving you my experience.

CX units are great if you can get them for 25 bucks, but if it's full price you're better off buying an S12II unit (as stated above) great quality for the cost you're paying.
