Will my PSU: OCZ SXS 2 600W handle MSI GTX 970 (OC) and AMD FX 8320 (OC-4,2GHz)?

The title says everything.

My PC:
- CPU: AMD FX 8320 (want to OC to 4,2ghz... even more if temps allow)
- GPU: MSI GTX 970 ( OC: 1244 mhz Core/ Memory: 1968 mhz)
- 3x 120 mm fans PWM
- Cooler - Fortis 3 v2
- PSU: Ocz SXS 2 600w

If the calculation are correct. Overclocked Pc should counsume about 500/515W? So it is about 83%-85% of PSU potential. Although i don`t know, how efficient my PSU is and if those 600W is maximal or constant power.

If I am correct, the 83%-85% is the upper limit for PSU to work on load. So it looks fine, and this PSU will be okay for Overclocking - is it?

thx for help!

The PSU should supply sufficient power up until around 95% capacity, then you may see some power issues persisting at that level. I'd say that you should be fine with overclocking that FX 8320.

Your psu should be fine.

"We could pull up to 712 W from this power supply with efficiency still above 80%. So you buy a 600 W power supply and get a 700 W."

nice!

For now I think that GPU and CPU I have (even Overclocked), will not take more than 520W...but still...it is good to know that I have some extra juice in stock.

thx for response.
