I changed a few things in the build and i want to make sure this PSU will run it all.

PSU

Motherboard
RAM
GPU
CPU
Case(dont think this affects is but incase it does)
HDD

The DVD/CD drive, im just going to keep an old one i got somewhere is the house its one of the old ones that used the IDE pin connector not sure if this will make a difference.

Glad to see the hardware forum come to its senses... a few years ago ppl were saying 520 is not enough lol. I remember morons with a normal system (1 gpu, single cpu, etc etc) getting 900 and 1000 watt psu..... I guess those people moved on :)
