Need PSU advise/help for a new build

[warrens1]

I am building a new system and need to know if this PSU:

Will be good enough for a:
GTX 970
AMD FX 4130
8GB DDR3
500GB Seagate 7200 RPM HDD

No it is not very good. That FX4130 is not very good either. It would certainly bottleneck that GTX970 almost all the time.

You see it isn't a whole new system I am upgrading a previous one with those specs except I am getting a new graphics card, (hence the GTX 970). So if you suggest upgrades to the CPU and PSU how about these?

This PSU is way better and around the same price:

And yeah the 6300 is far preferable to the 4130

Yes the FX6300 would be a huge upgrade over the FX4130.


This is a great price on a great psu
