Question about power supply.

[TreeTerra]

Will the be quiet! Pure Power L8 630W BN182 Modular 80+ Bronze work with this system (I know it has enough watts but the amps and connectors confuse me)?

System:
CPU - AMD FX-4100
Mobo - Asus m5a78l-m/usb3
GPU - Palit Jetstream GeForce GTX 680 2gb
HDD - 1 5400rpm hdd
Fans - 7 (on the case) & 1 (on the cooler)

You need 550+W from a good quality power supply - per tiers 1, 2a or 2b of http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html

Yours is in tier 3.

This is a Tier3 power supply. You look like you have some high end components like the GTX 680; I would prefer you get a higher tier psu as it is not worth cutting this short to save money only to damage components later with a lesser psu. While the Watts exceed spec on paper in reality the parts used may be very sub par compared to say a Tier 1 psu of the same wattage. Save an extra paycheck or two if you have to and get the best psu you can afford. This is NOT the place to go cheap.

The only high end component is the gtx680. Your CPU won't let it work 100% anyway.
