You will be fine. Although I like my P/S very much and feel it should be considered right next to the one your looking at.

It will be enough. Though if you want to know how much energy your system will need view this website.

CoolMaster

It should do the job ok! If you plan on heavy OCing or possibly going SLI you might want to think about a different psu, but other than that the antec one should work just fine. smile.gif

It always depend on the PSU itself.A 500W Antec and a 500W noname is like day and night even if it says 500W on the cover tongue.gif
