I have a 550 watt seasonic ssp-550rt.

My PC specs are"

AMD FX 8350 4.0GHZ Black edition (No OC)
16GB Mushkin 1600mhz DDR3 RAM
Asus m5a78l-m lx v2 motherboard
Samsung EVO 120GB SSD
3TB Western digital HDD
Asus CD-R/W
NVIDIA GT 610 1GB

I am planning to upgrade to a Sapphire R9 280x Vapor x

I've tried running a Sapphire R9 290 in my system but it continuously crashes and I believe it because my PSU doesn't match the power requirements.

Will my PSU be able to run a R9 280X?

Thanks :)

Agreed. A good 550 watt power supply will be enough for just about any single card configuration and they dont get much better quality than Seasonic so Id say youre golden.

AnandTech shows theirs at 375 max draw. Its over 400 at Uber though.

Looking around I found this HardOCP review that shows 440 max draw under Uber.

Then of course there is Tom's Hardware review of several 290x's and theyre all well under 400 watts total.
