Hello everyone, I just would like to know if an ANTEC VP550 is sufficient enough to be able to run my AMD setup without any problems? I'm located in the Philippines and It's pretty hard to find decent PC components. Thank you in advance, I appreciate your feedbacks.

CASE: ANTEC 100
CPU: AMD FX-8350
COOLER: Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO
MOBO: ASROCK 990FX Extreme3
GPU: Sapphire VAPOR-X R9 280X
RAM: Kingston HYPERX 16GB 2x8GB DDR3 1600
HDD: Kingston V300 120GB SSD
PSU: ANTEC VP550?

It's an above-average PSU and should work fine for that build.

Do you think there's any headroom for overclocking? Thanks!

It's a very tight fit as is. Any possible overclocking room is almost negligible because you won't be doing any decent overclocks on it.

It will run it , but like ksham stated , no overclocking , it's too close to it's limits.

Thank you and one other question... if I decided to pick up another 280X for crossfire in the future, what would be the recommended PSU? or am I bottlenecking the CPU?

I would recommend a minimum of 800W. 750W would be close and should work but you will have little to no room for overclocking.

And yes, it will be bottlenecking the CPU, but only more noticeably on some on the more CPU-intensive games.

Thank you everyone! I've ended up with Corsair CX750M.
