Thermaltake Butterfly 480W PSU

[Armpits]

Was wondering would my old "Thermaltake Butterfly 480W PSU" be enough to run my new build in 2 weeks. Since I don't want to buy a new PSU, this is from my current computer.

New Build:

CPU: Intel CORE i7 930 @ 2.8ghz
MOBO: ASUS P6T
RAM: DDR3 1333mhz (6gb kit or 4gb kit)
HDD: 500gb SATA
GFX: Cheap ASUS 1gb for $79

With no dedicated graphics card probably. What's the power ratings on the unit?

On the graphics card you mean? I dunno how to check, if it's the graphic card you mean it's ASUS EN9500GT, but I dunno how the check the power ratings.

Well I got the Thermaltake 480W, the question is will it be useable? And you're offering me 500W PSU's. that's just like 20W off.

Your PSU with >65% efficiency?? So, you could load 312W

It would fine for 9500GT. I just wonder if the age of PSU would affect is performance.

Those two I recommended with over 80% efficiency. So you could probably get 400W out of it.

Well my 480W PSU is pretty old, but it has runned without a problem over the years and seems to be running fine.

How about I just run i7 930 on it but with a cheap GFX card like $50 one, maybe 512mb or 1gb, would it be okay?

No problem to run 9500GT with 480W PSU
