Hi All,

Will the TFX 200W PSU in an Inwin BP655 be able to handle this? (Edit: a couple of calcs have come in at 180-185W on this build, is it safe to keep that load on a 200W PSU?)

YOUR BASKET
1 x Iiyama ProLite E2208HDS 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor £99.95
1 x Intel Core i3-2120 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - Retail £89.99
1 x Western Digital Caviar Green 500GB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (WD5000AZRX) **SINGLE PLATTER** £61.99
1 x MSI H61I-E35 Intel H61 (Socket 1155) DDR3 ITX Motherboard £43.99
1 x Kingston HyperX Blu 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz Dual Channel Kit (KHX1333C9D3B1K2/4G) £23.99

I'm replacing the bundled fan in the case with the Akasa and using HD2000 on-board GPU.

tried to find a replacement psu but most say discontinued :(

but yes as it's still under load, but a slightly bigger one would be better, how old is your psu, just give it some air out of the case, a good blow through will keep it in good nick, will try and find another just incase but size is well you already know

Is the psu 80% efficient? If it's not then it might not even be creating anything near the 200w. But the easiest thing to do to get an accurate usage is to just try it seeing as you already have the psu and if it can't handle it just buy a higher watt one.
 
I don't already have the PSU...this is a new build. The PSU comes bundled with the case, I'm just always sceptical of the quality of bundled PSU's.

The calcs I did online, had 184W at 85% efficiency.
