Well my PSU run this build

[klowngod]

This is my build

i7 6700k
Gigabyte z170x gaming 3 motherboard
G skill ripjaws v 16 GB DDR4(8GB×2)
1TB Seagate Barracuda
128GB SSD
MSI gtx 970

Will my current cooler master extreme power plus 650w be able to power it. I do know it's a bad PSU but the Seasonic S12II 620w I ordered takes longer to deliver.

No problem at all.

That is one of the best Power Supplies out there. I have said repeatedly in these forums that I believe that Seasonic makes the best power supplies on the planet. And Seasonic is the only brand of power supply I buy for my own system.

And you are above the wattage Nvidia recommends as a minimum for a system with that video card, so you are good to go.

The Seasonic is really good, but the question was about the cooler master extreme power plus 650w. Since the GPU only draws 160 watts, that crappy unit is good enough to build and test the system until the Seasonic is delivered.

I see no info on a Cooler Master Extreme unit on our Power Supply List here. But when I think of power supplies, Cooler Master is not a company I think of... I think about cases and cooling things...

I found some info on the Cooler Master website...

Extreme Power Plus 500W
Efficiency:
> 70% Typically

http://www.coolermaster.com/powersupply/extreme/extreme-power-plus-500w/

That alone tells me that is a very poorly designed power supply. That should be 82% and higher...

There also is only a 2 year warranty. Any respectable power supply would have a 5 year or longer warranty.

I cannot tell you not to use it. But I sure hope you get that Seasonic power supply soon.

Thanks for all the quick replies
So there would be no problem if I use the cooler master PSU for a test run of the components

I did not say that. I cannot know what that Cooler Master will do or not do. It is not what it says it is on the label. There are 14 amps going somewhere other than where they should be going. That scares me.

I don't think so; I've used power supplies that are similar to test and I never had an issue. Don't use it to stress test both the CPU and GPU at the same time; it really should be considered as a 450 watts PSU.
