Is this enough power?

[GamingReaper]

So I'm building my friend a PC. And I don't know if this will be enough power. I won't overclock the CPU btw.. At least not now. He is on a budget.

Here is a pcpartpicker list so I would like your help in this.

I would get a stronger PSU but like I said he is on a budget so yea. Thanks for your help in front.

500w should be fine, but I recommend going for either the AX or HX series or a different brand all together, the CX series have cheap components. Have a look at the EVGA N2 PSU's, they are about £10 more but built better.

CX500 is enough power but lacks in quality.

Yes I know that thanks, but the thing is where we live we don't have anything from EVGA., and Corsair is probably the best we can get from PSUs. Thank you very much, I asked this because I know AMD grafic cards need more power in general. Thanks one more time. 😀

Stay away from the CX line, go for EVGA SuperNova NEX 650W. (https://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-120g10650xr) $65 on newegg with rebate. Better quality and efficiency, and less likely to randomly die like the CX has been known to do (plus its fully modular)

EVGA SuperNova NEX 650W , the NEX model is very poor ,you want B2 , G2 , GS or PS if choosing EVGA.

NEX B1 , G1 are poor units.

Sorry, but I may have led thee astray; the NEX line isn't that good. I thought it was the same iteration as the second generation, but yeah, its not that much better (if at all). Generation 2 is definitely the way to go with EVGA, usually indicated by the suffix 2 in the name. Corsair should always be Rm or higher. The cheapest between the 2 brands is the EVGA SuperNOVA G2 550W, $75 w/rebate on Newegg. 80+ Gold, higher quality. Good luck.
