R9 280X Tri X Vapor X
8GBx1 HyperX

Coolermaster 600W PSU


My problem is when i run heavy games after some time my sytem freezes with no response the only way is to press the reset button on my cpu.

System Requirements for SAPPHIRE VAPOR-X R9 280X 3GB
750 Watt Power Supply is required.
2X150 Watt 8-pin PCI Express power connector is required.

So Fifa 14 doesn't force the card as much as the other games, when you play a much demanding game the graphic card drains all the power from your PSU and the pc freeze

My recommendation is to get one of these PSU EVGA 120-PB-0750-KR http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-120pb0750kr or something similar above 750w

You can consider to change from 1x8Gb to 2x4Gb sticks as well
