Hi everybody, I ordered an E3 1220 3.1 Ghz and a Rx 470 4gb Gddr5. The point is that I have a 375Watt Psu, would it be good to use these
components with this power?
 
Solution
The 470 is pretty power hugry. 450w would be the safe minimum I'd consider.
actually... it's not that bad

assuming your unit is fine, wattage wise it's not a problem

question is... what unit are you using and do you use any adapters with it? because that could indeed change it to a recommendation to a new one

Hi and welcome to the forums!
375w is a little low for your system. The 470 is pretty power hugry. 450w would be the safe minimum I'd consider. Don't skimp when chosing a power supply, because if it ever dies, it might take other components with it.
