Hi guys,

My Gaming Rig:
- AsRock Z75 Pro3
- i5-3570K (currently at default clock)
- 8 GB 1600Mhz RAM
- ASUS GTX570 DirectCUII (default)
- 1 HDD, SSD, ODD

Chieftec CTG-500 should be enough for this config?

Thanks for the reply!
 
A Chieftec CTG-500 is a shitty PSU.While your demands aren't that high, I still wouldn't recommend that PSU. What is your budget and where are you buying from?
 
I live in Hungary and i'd like to buy it in a local shop in my city. Anyway the CTG-500 is enough by the spec (12V rails, overall performance, etc.)? What do you think? What do you offer if i have ~65-70$ for this purchase?

Thanks!

Just because a PSU says it's a 500W PSU doesn't mean that it can actually provide 500W. PSU manufacturers lie about the real world output of their PSUs all the time.

Are there are any online hardware stores that ships to your country that we should know about? That'll help us get an idea of what PSUs are available in your country/region.
 
It does not have enough pci-e power connectors. 550W version would be better option and load woul likely hit the sweet spot of that PSU.
