    Is a 430w Power supply enough for i7 2600k ?

    I am building a modest system with the Intel i7 2600K, MSI P67-C45, 8GB Corsair DDR3/1333 Memory, 2 X SATA 2TB HD and a GE Force 7200 Nvidea video card

    Is the 430 watt Thermaltake TR2 Poser Supply enough ? or Work with that ?

    Appreciate any help from you experts .....

    Yea, it'll be fine There's better PSUs out there, but I expect it to work fine until you can find something else

    since u are talking about the 2600k and im assuming will oc it so i would say no. as it has a dedicated atx and a dedicated pci-e power rail so u can only pull 14A on the atx, that wont be enough, if u want to oc.

    Geforce 7200? That's ghetto. You're better off using the built in graphics that Sandy Bridge comes with. Use an H67 motherboard.

    Then you can't overclock. Not everyone plays games.

    I think the 430W should be fine though.

    Get s 450ax corsair iirc.. Thermal take psu you mentioned won't run all the hardware you listed whilst clocking, get something with more amps on the 12v rail...

    Another thing I find funny is AMD/Intel would snipe any of our Moms on a grocery run if it meant good quarterly results, and you are forever whining about what feser did?

    not more amps less rails, u need a single rail for anything under 550w. if he had a single rail 430W he would be fine
