Hi guys!

I am about to build a new pc and the components I have chosen are the following:
i5 2500K
Asrock P67 Extreme 4 gen 3
CM Hyper 212 evo
2x4gb corsair vengeance 1600
Seagate 1 tb 6G 7200 64MB
Gigabyte n660toc
CM Storm Enforcer
2 red 120mm CM fans
AND Seasonic 520W 85+
My question is if the psu will handle the computer.I am planing to OC both the GPU and CPU.Another question i have is about the ram.In the asrock site that ram isnt in the list of supported but i dont think there is any reason to not work.Do u think i should change it?
 
You'll be fine using that PSU to power the above system.

It has a Single +12v rail rated at 40A, which is 480w.

The 660ti has a TDP of 170w, and your 2500k has one of 95w.

You'll have no trouble at all, although as has previously been mentioned, I would also suggest a more beefy unit, just in case you want to upgrade further down the road.

The corsair would be good

Same price as the Seasonic, and also the 650w version is the same price with MIR. :)
 
And what about the fortron?Is it low quality?The only thing i am afraid of is that when i OC they will need more power and I dont know if the seasonic will do it.
 
It looks like an alright unit to me, how much does it cost?

It's got a quad rail delivery system, and each of the 12v rails output up to 18a, which is 216w.

You'll want to be a bit weary of this, with this unit it comes down to how the unit distributes its rails, so it also depends on how your gpu is powered port wise.

Hopefully someone can explain this to you in an easier to understand way. :P
 
Your SS 520w is a fine unit. I would go with that.
This Antec is made by Seasonic and will run 2x 660's.

Or Seasonic 620w isn't much more that the 520w.
CX is ok for budget builds but if you have the $ a better one usually isn't that much more. CX 600w = the same 12v amps as SS 520w and the SS is a better ps.
I don't know about Forton but for 700w w/o sleeved cables, it looks cheaply made and no way I would trust it. As demonstrated ^ ps is much more that what it says(which may not be true) it has for watts.

Ram should be fine. They can't test them all to put them on the QVL. It's low profile right? to make sure 3rd party HSF installs?
