Hi,

Im new to building Pc's and need some advice. I have a coolermaster RS-500-PSAR-I3 PSU and a Intel core I7-2600k. I was wondering will my PSU be able to support the Radeon R9 280X TOXIC TRI-X 3GB or will I need to buy a new one? I am concerned I will not be able to install a new one myself. Any advice would be greatly appreaciated.

Thanks,

T

No, that PSU is low quality and even a high quality 500w unit would struggle.

Its very easy to install a new PSU, like 4 screws and a 5 plugs usually.
