Hi!

I got a computer from Hitech-gamer.com and i thought a little about why the PSU is only 600W.

My specs are:
GPU: Zotac 780Ti OC Edition
CPU: I7 Intel 4770k Quad Core 4,8Ghz
Motherboard: MSI Z97
RAM: 16 GB (2x8) CRUCIAL DDR3-1600 DIMM

And my PSU? Well go to this link:

Then put the language on English up in the right corner (theres a little flag) then if you scroll down on the link, theres a lot of red buttons, showing what the specs are.

Take a look at my PSU, isn't it low compared to my specs?

Give me your opinion, because this is supposed to be a professional PC-manufactoring company.

I am not a big fan of cooler master PSU's - but 600W should be enough for the hardware you have. I usually go with Antec, Corsair, Seasonic or XFX with my builds. Unless you are planning on adding additional 780Ti cards in SLI, you have enough power.
It is sufficient enough but not by a huge amount. With that build I would have gone more watts as you have an overclockable processor and a high powered graphics card. I would honestly upgrade it to something more suitable.

The PSU is a Cooler Master GX 600, and that's not a very good PSU for a built like that.
