I just bought a new x51 R2. The spec are as follows:
1. Intel Core i3 4150 (3.50GHz)
2. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 745 with 4GB DDR3
3. 6GB ram (1x2GB+1x4GB) DDR3L 1600Mh
would like to upgrade CPU to I7-4790K and replace the 1TB HDD came with the x51 with Samsung 850 pro SSD. However, I'm worrying if 180w PSU is sufficient to handle the above upgrade. I personally do not want to pay dell for like 150usd for 330w PSU as I am not gonna upgrade GPU in near future.
The DVD ROM can also be taken out in order to save some watts.
If 180w PSU is not gonna be sufficient, anywhere I can find the 330w PSU at cheaper cost. I heard some said it only cost 30USD.
One more question, its the x51 R2 can overclock the I7-4790k? If ys, can it be using 180w?
Thanks for your time. I'm a newbie of desktop.
Best regards
Justin
