Would this PSU be sufficient??

[DarkaneZ28]

I got this PSU that came with my case, it's rated at 500w max but I have a feeling it's very crappy. My system isn't finished yet, but I can get a real good deal on an Enermax 470w PSU, and i'm wondering if it's going to be beneficial to upgrade or not. (Keep in mind i'm just a punk with hardly any money ) Anyways here's the specs:

Made by Okia
OKIA-500ATX

Voltage=115/230v
Current=9A/5A
Freq.=60/50Hz

+3.3=22A
+5 =36A
+12=18A

-12=0.5A
-5=0.5A
+5SB=2.0A

+5V & +3.3V = 230w
+5V, +12V & + +3.3V = 422w


On to my system specs.

Intel P4 3.2E Prescott OC'd @3.7Ghz
ASUS P4P800E mobo
2 X CMX512-3700 Corsair 512mb of PC3700
Maxtor SATA 160GB HDD
Sony DVD burner
BFG 5900xt OC gpu
Soundblaster Audigy ZS2

And about 6 different fans 1 being the panaflo m1a and the others your typical 80mm UV/LED case fans.

Would I be able to get away with using this PSU? If not, will the Enermax 470w PSU be sufficient then? Any other suggestions?

OKIA power supplies are known to be very bad, they're just generic doorstops. Not worth risking your entire rig on such a cheap doorstop. 500W and it only puts out 18A on the +12V rail... for power-hungry CPUs like the Prescott, I would say you're cutting it close. Get a ATX12V v2.0 Enermax, they're very nice.

Ya, the 18A on the +12V is way too low for your system and you may have problems with it.. get one with 30 amps or more on the +12V rail, and check the pinned post for a good PSU to buy
