+1 HDD, 1 SSD, Cooler Master Seidon 120v cooler and 3 fans total.

Cooler Master Elite 460w PSU enough or cutting too close?
 
No with that PSU.. its a crap PSU with dual 12v rail that can only deliver 320W in 12v.... with a high quality one that can deliver full 450W+ in the 12V rail you can be in the safe zone.. until you start to be crazy with overclocks.. but at stock clocks even with a little overclock in the CPU you will be OK..
 
If you already have the PSU, and you keep everything at stock, it will probably be okay, but will be the first thing that needs to be upgraded.
 
Thanks for all replies. Yes I already have the PSU. I recently purchased a Sabertooth the 8350, 2x4GB RAM and the CM Seidon 120v locally for a very good price didn't know what I was going to do with until recently my nephews friend said he may interested as a complete rig but is working with limited amount of cash. Anyway so the power supply is a spare. I do have a GS 700 (really a backup for my rig) laying here too but the 270x was never part of original build so brought his cost up a lil.

Good to know that the 460w PSU will run it as long everything stays stock. Online PSU calculator say recommend 374w and 414w minimum I think.

Edit: I could pick up a
CX430m or
A Xion 700 either or $20 each??
