Okay so i ordered a pc from cyberpowerpc and i put all this great stuff in it but i forgot about the importance of the power supply and got a generic 800 watt power supply. I dont think i can upgrade it by myself it looks a bit confusing from research dont want to mess with the system to that extent. Here are my specs what should i do? Will i be okay? If not advice please!!:

For a computer with no graphics card? its easily enough.



And why would you go with an outdated cpu like that? O.o

X79 is like dead now days lol





EDIT: o didnt see your graphics card.

ya a gtx780 needs like a good 850W PSU... i dont think a generic 800W would last even 1 session of high load...

800watt generic PSU will be a bad idea on this system. it will probably fail a lot under load (when your playing games) and restart/reset or bluescreen/Bsod.









just to make it a little easier for anyone else answering. that's a mess of info.

widespread shows, often the PSU may well be used with lots of the desktops. Get a extra efficient high quality PSU, exhaust fan and cpu warmth sink followers to stay away from computerized shutdown issues. frequently, extra reasonably-priced PSU's are only sufficient for basic workstation operations. For heavy gaming, truthfully you prefer extra efficient coolers to your laptop.
