Hey I was looking into building a gaming pc and I found a really good deal on New egg.

It comes with everything you need but a graphics card and operating system. I wanted to get a ASUS R7 260 graphics card but I am afraid the 480 watt power supply that comes with the case won't be able to power everything. Can anyone help? If the power supply will power everything ok I will buy another 4gb stick of ram.

Yeah Ik it is a apu and because of that great deal I have money for the graphics card. But I don't want to get the graphics card and the 480 watt power supply not be able to power it.

A 480W PSU will power most systems today, for example OC3D did a test and Tinytomlogan was running an i7 3770K, GTX 780 Ti, 16GB RAM etc on 450W.

I will add that the APU is relatively low end.

I'd suggest you ditch the SuperCombo and buy GOOD parts individually. The PSU is trash and it has nothing to do with its wattage. You can also get a 1 TB drive for the same price as that 500 GB drive.
