Will a cx 600w psu power this graphics card

mario_0606 · May 27, 2014

im getting a r9 280 to replace my 270, but o wanted to know if my cx 600w psu will be able to power everything no problem.

GA 970a ud3p
Amd Fx 8350
MSI R9 280
Corsair vengence 2x4
WD blue 1tb hd

Yes, it is more than enough for a system with a 280.

Some would say to replace that PSU even though it has enough watts/amps. I wouldn't completely disagree. It does have a few cheap capacitors in its construction. But if on a tight budget, that's an ok power supply.

also is there any problem with the fx 8320? I wanted to get the 8350 but it went back up 30 bucks

Basically it is just a lower clock than the 8530. If you want to save $30, get the 8320.

I'd use the $30 to get a better PSU personally.

Antec/XFX/Seasonic are all great. If you want just a single GPU, 550w should be good and for 2 GPU 750w minimum.

The 8320 is a great CPU , AND THE CX600 has 46 amps on the 12v rail which is more than enough for the R9 280.

Buy a XFX TS 550W too if you are good with rebates: $27 after rebates

Im only getting my stuff from amazon. I have one day shipping and easy replacement just in case of defects. So is the 8320 much different than the 8350? Will I be able to play watchdogs

mario_0606 · May 27, 2014

Dark Lord of Tech · May 27, 2014

No they are fairly equal and both overclock well.

Your mobo is great

mario_0606 · May 28, 2014

This chart doesnt show my ud3p version

jaraldo · May 28, 2014

The ud3 is more or less the same thing. Unless you do some research you'll have to take my word on it x)

I was looking up good mobos for the 8350 a few weeks ago and the ud3p vs ud3 kept popping up. I forget why, but the ud3p is slightly better.

Infact, for it's price, it's really the best mobo you can get for the 83xx models

Wow thanks man
