    Question regarding my PSU and new rig i ordered

    Okay so all my pc parts are in, here is my setup:

    1.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822152185 - SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

    2.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814162056 - Galaxy GTX 460 1gb Super oc'ed edition

    3.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231276 - G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666)

    4. AMD Phenom II x4 965BE (3.4ghz)

    5.http://www.microcenter.com/single_pr...uct_id=0342511 - 785G-E53 AM3 785G ATX Motherboard

    6. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...20100817062656 - HEC 600w psu

    Now I dont know how this voltage/wattage works with parts in compliance with the psu but basically i'm asking if this PSU i ordered is going to power up my system at it's fullest (no bottleneck). Need some honest answers, I'm unfamiliar with how these PSU's work as i only thought as long as it powers everything it's fine. If it'll have a short life span i can live with it and just upgrade a year later but i dont want it to bottleneck my performance in gaming if that is even possible. If it's really going to bottleneck can someone suggest a good psu as ill have to go out of my way to return this one back. Suggestion from here would be good http://www.microcenter.com/search/se...rt=NewProduct&

    I wouldn't get that, it has shitty specs, look at the amp on the rails. Just buy a good PSU, if you buy quality you can re-use it for multiple builds, 600W is kind of low too, but if you don't care about future proofing it...

    As for whether it will work fine, it's anyone's guess when it comes to budget brands. If it was a quality brand I would say yes, 600W is enough for what you have. But the PSU industry is very very shady, even the "good" brands sometimes come out with shit.

    That PSU is shit. Spend the extra money and buy a newer Corsair or name brand power supply before you gimp your computer/ruin other components.
