Hi guys,
I am planning to buy a r9 280x Toxic. the main problem in facing is the power supply.
My current pc specs are -
Processor - AMD FX6100
GPU - MSI RADEON HD 6770 ( Gonna remove it when i upgrade)
RAM - 2x4gb evm & 1x8gb Corsair Vengence
Motherboard - Asus M5A97
HDD - 1x1TB & 1x2TB & (1x111GB laptop hdd) all WD
optical drive - samsung
Fans - 1x 140mm & 8 x 120mm LED
Cabinet - Cooler Master Storm Trooper.
PSU- VIP 600W
so, im confused.. on the official site, its written 750W is the requirement. on the forums its written, 620W is more than enough,
and in one forum i read that the full system will blow if i use 600W.
One more thing,
the gpu requires 2 x 8 pin connectors. I have two extra SMPS - one is - 280W VIP, other is (mini atx cabinet) 400W circle.
So, is it possible that i connect one 8 pin to my primary 600W psu and other 8 pin to one of the secondary psu????? If yes, then which of the secondary psu should i select??
Im really trying my best to avoid getting a new high powered psu. they are so expensive! (corsair RM1000)
THANKS IN ADVANCE GUYS....!!!!! ;-)

whats your budget for a new psu also thats a terrible generic powersupplyWell, if i buy a new psu, i will go for a good one.. ( corsair RM100) its not easy to change a psu very often :-) so, might as well go for the best..
But, if i buy it, i will have to buy the gpu after about 6-8 monts. due to the cost...

Everything about the brands that iceclock said still applies but get a 650W psu.i already have a 600W psu.. wont that work?
see.. im upgrading my system slowly.. so, if i get a new gpu now, i will eventually upgrade the smps after 6-8months for the future upgrades.. so, the question is, first gpu, or first the psu??

Power supply first. You don't have a good quality 600W power supply.

hey people...
i braught the power supply u (forum discussions) told me to buy.. (seasonic 1050W gold)
but, im having problems.. i have connected it correctly.
when i try to turn on my system, it does not turn on. i switch the button on the back of the psu many times.. but still nothing. finally, i have to turn off the power from the mains and then after 2 mins i turn it back on.. then everything works fine.
after i shutdown my pc, when i try to turn it back on, the same thing over and over again...
It happens even when i try turning it back on after 2 minz or 2 hours of shuttingdown.
please help!!
Thanks in advance..
