Is this PSU going to work?

Alright, so heres the situation, I've just ordered these parts, I took some risks, but the biggest was with the psu, I really want to know if it'll be able to power my components. The extreme wattage calculator thingy seems to say it will. I won't be overclocking the computer at all:

MSI N9800GTX PLUS T2D512 OC GeForce 9800 GTX+ 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card

GIGABYTE GA-MA78G-DS3H AM2+/AM2 AMD 780G HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard

OCZ Platinum 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model OCZ2N10662GK - Retail

AMD Phenom 9850 BLACK EDITION 2.5GHz Socket AM2+ 125W Quad-Core Processor Model HD985ZXAGHBOX

RAIDMAX SAGITTA 2 ATX-928WO Black/ Orange 0.7mm SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Removable MB Computer Case

and the psu:

LOGISYS Computer PS575XBK 575W ATX12V SLI Ready Power Supply - Retail

Now, I really only want to know if I will be able to run this system on that power supply while gaming. The only other stuff I will be running is one sata hard drive, a cd drive, and whatever fans are in the case.

Thanks,
A worried system builder.
 
Heck no with two "L's"

I have one of those pieces of junk sitting here, all i trust it to do is prime my pump for my water cooling setup and test fans. Don't even try to use it, buy you a quality power supply. It's going to cost you right near $100, i 'd suggest getting an OCZ GameXStream model, or the Corsair 520w+ models.

(btw, it feels extremely cheap, poor cooling, a wire even come nearly cut in two which could resulted in it shorting out.)

I know you already ordered it, but i would hate for you to loose all that hardware due to a poor PSU.
 
also, from reviews, some people, who say they are experts say that its very well put together and some say not, most of the reviews on newegg are positive though. I dunno, i just really dont want to have to buy another power supply. This one guy says hes powering his core 2 quad, MSI 8800gts (G92), 4gb of ddr2 ram, 7 4w fans, DFI BloodIron P35 and 3 sata hard drives and that its been working for 4 months now no problems. Some other guy says its running his 9800gtx for a month no problem but his processor is a core 2 duo. Aaaaagh, i dont want to buy another power supply.

Logisys makes extremely poor power supplies. I think are made by "young year". Trust me, i would not try to run that system with that power supply, if it would even boot it.

Its worth the wait instead of putting all you money and investment at risk, i mean why spend hundreds of dollars on hardware just to cheap out and have it powered by a cheap no-name power supply that could fail and ruin all your hardware?

Something like this, for the price would be good.

I'm just trying to warn you is all.

(edit: it would be fine for a computer that doesn't draw much power, but that 9800GTX is a little power hungry.)
 
I can't afford that one man, not now anyway. I was thinking id just use this one till i got the money together for a better one.
 
well, I guess you could try it. Just keep an eye on it, the built in protection should work if worse was to happen. Hopefully..
 
yeah, im gonna open it up when i get it and check out the build quality, then Ill just use it until i scrape up enough money for a proper psu.
