650w Enough power for this build? Mainly 280xtoxic

Barkze · Dec 8, 2013

I have researched other questions where people have asked this same question. In pretty much all of the other ones they have said yes you have enough power. I am just worried because the graphics card says "750W System Power Supply Requirement". I also came across this link: Furmark power consumption.

Here is my full build. I already have all of the components ordered except the CPU and the GPU so I am just trying to finalize which ones to get. I have been waiting for them to be in stock and finally found one
Full build
280x Toxic
xfx 650w PSU

I apologize if there are hundreds of people asking this same question but I just don't want to waste $100+ on a 750w PSU. I got talked out of buying a 750 earlier and instead got a 650w. Thanks for taking the time to help me out, I really appreciate it

Your PSU should be able to handle the system well and you may get away with oc your cpu. I would like to add that the xfx psu you have chosen is one of the best and most solid.power supply out there, that is why i say that it can handle your system. I have a friend who has 2 6750s i crossfire running on that exact psu, just to give you an idea of how good it is

Well that is reassuring

. Worst case scenario though would it just fail to run, or would it just not work as well at high loads?

Either it boots or it doesnt. If it crashes during a stress test such as prime95 or unigine heaven (or both at the same time) abd you have nothing overclocked that may also be a sign, but this is unlikely to happen.

Alright, well the worst thing that can happen is I have to get another PSU but that doesn't seem very likely, thanks for your help
