Is My PSU Going to Be Enough?

[Elfear]

I bought a Cooler Master Centurion 5 when they were on sale and I'm going to use it in a build for a buddy of mine. I believe that this is the PSU that comes with the case. The other parts going into the rig are as follows:

E4300@3.0GHz stock volts (this is an estimation based off past experience)
Abit Fatal1ty F-I90HD
8600GTS
200GB IDE drive
DVD Burner
2GB PC2-5400 ram
Arctic Cooler 7 Pro
1 120mm fan and 1 80mm fan (.12A together)

I'm a little worried that the PSU might not be up to snuff, especially the 12V line. Anyone have experience with this PSU or have any thoughts on the matter?

no. I'm sure it will for a little while, but then it'll start taking out parts of your computer. I use that PSU with a AMD AthlonXP 2400+, GeForce Ti4200 128MB, 512MB DDR266, and 2x20GB Seagate HDD in a Cooler Master Cavalier 3 case and sometimes has stability issues. sometimes doesn't even give a power good signal (doesn't even get to POST).

Thanks for the info RallyMaster. I guess I'll have to look into a new PSU. Is the PSU itself just not very high quality or are the specs just too low?

 

[RallyMaster]

The specs are too low. From what I remember, it has 16A on the +12V. Considering that my Corsair has a combined output of 40A on the +12V, you will definitely need something with more kick. For your setup, refer to the PSU suggestion thread in this forum. GY and I have pretty much recommended all the good PSUs for almost all midrange systems these days.

Ok. That's what I needed to know. I might be able to trade one for a 350W Silverstone if my boss goes for it. That's why I was wondering about the quality as I don't want to give anyone a lemon. The rigs we have at work are pretty low spec so I think the Cooler Master would work fine there.
