Is this PSU ok?

Hi guys, is this power supply more than enough for this system? I'm looking to save a bit of money on a build I'm doing so if I can get away with this power supply rather than the OCZ ModXstream pro 600w I should be able to upgrade the motherboard to a P67.

I think that should be fine. BeQuiet PSU's seem quite popular on here. Only way it would be a problem is if you want to upgrade to a more powerful card or multi GPU in the future.

As above. It's OK but more 12v amps would give you a little more headroom.

BTW: if you are switching to a P67, consider a K-series SB chip too.

Aye, that PSU will be fine.

As well as moving to a P67 board, I would strongly suggest you go for the i5 2500K CPU (£19 more) instead. Otherwise you won't be able to overclock properly.

To pay for this you could drop the RAM down to this kit.
