Do i need an better PSU?

tris00 · Jan 9, 2014

I am going to buy an new pc soon and i wonder if my PSU is good enough. :??:

Processor: i5-4430
Motherboard: Asus B85M-E
internal memory: Corsair ValueSelect 1333-8GB
video card: MSI Radeon R9 270 Gaming 2GB
PSU: Corsair CX 600w

is it enough for my video card and other stuff?

Yes , Its enough , if you dont plan cfx .

VincentP · Jan 9, 2014

Yes, this power supply is more than adequate for your new system.

AlexSmith96 · Jan 9, 2014

the cx 600 is fine for your current build. In future if u crossfire, then only you may need the PSU upgrade.

i am sorry i am not english and don't know what cfx is?
and for my video card? becouse a frend told me it was not enough for the Msi Radeon R9 270 gaming 2GB

tris00 :

It actually means crossfire x , its when you put 2 graphics card of the same model together to get more performance/speed . Where you from ?

AlexSmith96 · Jan 9, 2014

cfx means crossfire(using same AMD GPU multiple units).
the cx 600 is fine for your current build. In future if u crossfire, then only you may need the PSU upgrade.

tris00 :

They mean crossfire. This is a way of using two graphics cards together. I'm sure you have no plans to install a second graphics card and that the comments are unnecessary. Doing this would be a bad idea anyway as the performance is very unreliable.

CFX stands for CrossFireX which means running two graphic cards, which in your case would be running another MSI R9 270

So this is really enough? or is it recommended to buy a better one

AlexSmith96 · Jan 9, 2014

It is sufficient for your current rig. No need to buy a new PSU ! ALL THE BEST!!!

tris00 · Jan 9, 2014

and if i take a OCZ ModXStream Pro 600W?

AlexSmith96 · Jan 9, 2014

your current rig is ok with the cx 600....no need of OCZ ModXStream Pro 600W,even though it is better.

VincentP · Jan 9, 2014

This supply is about the same as the Corsair CX 600. Maybe a little better quality.
The Corsair you have is fine.
If you were looking for a better quality supply:
Antec HCG 620
Seasonic G 650

and is a better cooler recommended or is the cooler in the R9 enough?

VincentP · Jan 9, 2014

tris00 :

The provided cooler is fine.
