Is this 430W enough for a R7 260X? Please Help

harshp344 · Dec 28, 2013

Here is my build:
MOTHERBOARD: ASRock 960GM/U3S3 FX
CPU: AMD FX-8320 Vishera 3.5GHz (4.0GHz Turbo)
GPU: MSI R7 260X 2GD5 OC Radeon R7 260X 2GB
RAM: Team Elite 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
HDD: TOSHIBA DT01ACA100 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA
CASE: DIYPC DIY-5823BK Black SECC ATX Mid Tower
PSU: CORSAIR CX series CX430 430W

I want to know if that PSU will be sufficient enough to support my rig. I not going to upgrade anyime soon.

Thank you

It is pretty low...typically the power supply is something you REALLY don't want to cheap out on when building a new system. I would recommend a sturdy 500 watt power supply instead

basically go up to the corsair series tx 500 watt, or look for a better psu that may be on sale (tis the season)

If you link the store you are buying from, i may be able to recommend the cheapest power supply you should use with this system configuration

Im buying from newegg.ca

http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX41859 is on sale at this specific site, and would be more than enough if you ever decided to jump up to even a 280x graphics card

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182199 is about the cheapest good one that you would want for this system and it is the same price as the one you were originally looking at

It's cheap because it is on sale for 25% off

gotta find them sales dude ;D

also see how it has MANY good reviews over the corsair one. If you want to stick to the same budget, go for the psu i listed instead of the corsair one
