Power supply for gtx 770 and amd 6300

[Hexaphobia]

Hi all,

Will an Antec 520W power supply enough power for a computer with an unoverclocked AMD-6300 and an MSI twin Frozer GTX 770? System also has 1 optical drive, WLAN card and a 1tb 7200rpm HD with 4 sticks of 4gb DDR3 Ram. If not by how much? will it just fry stuff if I try and turn it on? or will it work for a while???? what am i looking at?

What specific model of Antec do you have? They make a wide range of PSU's and not all of them are good enough to power that card reliably.

Antec HGC-520M

YES, your PSU is good enough to power those specs reliably. It's a solid tier 2 PSU and has the correct PCIe connectors for the MSI twin Frozer GTX 770.

Footnote: That's just enough wattage for your specs above. If you want to add a second graphics card in the future you'll need to also upgrade your PSU.
