Hi, would a 400W Dell Power Supply be enough for a Radeon HD 7950 and an i7 2600? The system total TDP will max out at 384W, will this be safe?

Hi Sir How Are U?

First Of All We Should Know That Will This Power Supply ( That I Dont Suggest U ) Give The Maximum Wattage Which Are Written On That Or Not 🙁

So I Suggest U Stay Away From These Types Of Psu And Try A Little More Famous And More Reliable Brands Like Evga Corsair (I Dont Like Corsair) Or Seasonic :)

Here Are Some Suggestions :)

But If U Are Insist On Buying That Psu . On the Paper There Is No Problem :)

Good Luck

I really doubt it will work. I don't think that PSU can deliver enough 12V current. It can work for a while but it will fail eventually. Also that unit probably doesn't have 2 PCI-E power connector. You will need adapters.
