Will a 550w Power Supply work for this setup?

[petermic]

So, I am wondering if a 550w PSU will work with this setup.

CPU: FX-8350(Plan on overclocking to 4.5GHz wiith water cooler).
Memory: 16GB 1600MHz RAM(Plan on overclocking to 1866MHz).
Video Card: GTX 660 OC.
Mobo: Asus m5a99fx pro r2.0
I am running a Dual Monitor Setup.

Thank You in advance!

From the looks of it , and the fact that you are over clocking . I would go a bit more like a 700 or 800 . You might get away with a 500 for a while but I would not expect it to last long ... check this out . enter your specs to the detail. and use this to calculate your pc power demeands , it includes over clocking options for your cpu

Yes should be plenty. However it isn't that great if your planning to upgrade the computer later on. Otherwise should be okay. Good luck.

A 550 Watt quality will work but a low quality over rated one will be questionable.

Yeah, you'll be fine. I'd go with a 650W if you want to SLI, though. You can get some pretty cheap 660's on eBay.

I'm planning on getting a cooler master. Do you think it will be ok even if I overclock to 4.5 GHz?

Look at the tier list and look at your model.

If it's on Tier one or two, you'll be fine. Three is okay if you're on a tight budget.

140 Watt video card 160 if you mean a 660ti
125 Watt processor
About 80 for everything else
another 35 or so for the overclock..
Most coolermasters are junk the V gold ones are good, Seasonic, XFX, Antec TPC just to name a few good ones.
