Power Supply Question

[Skizo_LR]

Hi! So I'm getting ready to revive a
ASRock H77M Micro ATX LGA1155 Motherboard

and a

Intel Core i7-3770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor

I will also be running a Nvidia GTX 660

I was wondering if my current 650 watt power supply will be enough to run all of this while gaming and such. Thanks!

WAY more than enough power. A quality 400-450w unit would be plenty.

Ok its just weird that when ever I have a 500 watt supply unit it was not enough and caused my computer to shut down untill I upgraded the power supply unit.

A PC with a gtx660 in it needs 430+W from a good quality PSU - per tiers 1, 2a or 2b of http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html

Label wattage ratings don't tell much about PSU's. A poorly made PSU is a poorly made PSU no matter how big the number on the label is. You might need everything that "650W" PSU is good for to power your ~250W rig if it's a piece of junk PSU.
