Hi all,
I was wondering if my PSU is compatible with my choices of graphics card, these choices are listed below in the GPU row I will be picking one of these and would like your advice on this and whether the graphics card will connect to the pc. By this I mean that is there the right connector on the PSU and will the PSU handle the watts of the build.
My build is below

the VS isn't that bad, but its not great. If this is a NEW system you are buying. why are you buying an OLD CPU which isn't supported anymore (as in you can't upgrade)
If you are building a new system, if you state your Country and Budget (kettle lead means UK I am sure) you could get a lot better system than the one you have listed, unless these are parts you already own.

I second that remark by Lutfij
the VS is what you send to enemies for their computers its not what you put in yours.
word of caution about the CX, get the ones with the grey label. if you see green on the CX avoid it is an older model and as bad or worse than the VS.
