XFX Pro 550W or Corsair CX 600W V2 80 Plus Bronze

[zinnkio]

Hi guys.

For crimbo I received an XFX Pro 550W power supply and a MSI GTX560 ti Hawk 1gb, however I feel that the power supply will be enough in the long run if I'm going to add a Corsair H80i to my build although my dad seems convinced otherwise

At the moment I have:
ASUS M4A97TD/USB3 motherboard
AMD Phenom II x4 955 BE @3.2ghz
12Gb of DDR3 RAM
MSI GTX560 ti Hawk 1Gb
2x 7,200rpm 500gb HDD
2x DVD RW (one is really old [uses a molex])
XFX Pro 550w PSU

What I wish to add:
OC the CPU to 4ghz
Corsair H80i water cooling
Phantom 410 midi case (maybe, and I thinks that's what it's called)

My question is, will my PSU be up to the job if I add/change these components or do I return it and go for the Corsair 600w one

Much appreciated to anyone who replies.

Hi - stay with the Seasonic built XFX 550, it is more than enough for your system,
and is a better quality unit than the cx600 which is Corsair's
budget/opening price point series, and the cx600 has only 2
more amps on the +12v rail.

Thanks for the reply, will stick with the XFX then.

Thanks for the reply, will stick with the XFX then.

Good idea, no sense in upgrading from 44a to 46a on +12v rail.

Good luck with your rig.
