Potential power issue?

[jemtray]

Hi guy's, I am wondering if the 500w power supply I am using now will be sufficient enough to power my new config,
It consist's of; AMD II Quad core 965, 3.4ghz, 8gb Crucial DDR3 1333 mhz, ATI Radeon 5500, Creative pci sound card,
750 gb hard drive, 24x dvd r-+rw MB; ASUS M4A88T-V EVO Series usb3. thanks in advance.

depends on the PSU. If it's a quality one, you should have no issues whatsoever.

please post the brand and model of your PSU.

as long as is a quality one you will be ok.

yeah it is called an X-POWER ATX 500 TD, thanks for the reply.

Well it's not a real stellar brand, but if lives up to it's stats below then it should work. just don't go putting a big GPU on it. it only has 20A 12v rail.

I'm in Kuwait working for a year, but I live in the US.

here are couple of solid PSU's that won't break your wallet. Scan seems to be a good company. I see a lot of UKer's using them.
