Well, theres never enough power right?

Anyways, I was curious if the Corsair VX450 will be enough for all this stuff im planning on:

MOBO: Gigabyte DS3L
CPU: E8400
Video: 9600GT
Memory: G.SKILL 4GB
HD: WD 320 GB Caviar
DVD: Pioneer Burner

That all good? Thanks guys.
 
I have 750 Watt with power to spare for a similar setup. 450 might be right there on the border. Why risk when power is so cheap nowadays?
 
The important thing is to get a RELIABLE power supply that has gotten a proper review on a industrial load tester. A lot of power supplies will say 500+ watts when they really can't crank out anymore than 400 (as some [H] reviews have shown with Ultra products).

The Corsair you've picked should be more than enough for that rig, although for a little more money I'd get the 500W VX to give you some headroom for upgrades, maybe even SLI later on.
 
That 450 will be more than plenty. idk why everyone has to create threads asking if the psu theyre going to buy has enough power. The answer's always yes.
