Hello people,

I am about to buy the Gigabyte gv-R928WF3OC-3GD GPU. I am going to buy a 550W power supply. My question is: is 550W enough to provide power for the GPU? The PC configurator didn't gave an error when I selected the power supply.

Anybody experience with this card?

Thanks in advance!

That card has poor reviews.

But a real decent 550w can run it to answer your question.

Thanks for the reply. I'll read the reviews and (maybe) choose another card. Do you have any other recommodations (R9, max $190). Sorry but my budget isn't a great gaming budget, but I want a decent R9 GPU...

The card might be decent but the reviews are poor.

Yeah, most of them were shipping coast etc. Some people actually had great experiences with that card, so I think I'll give it a try. The store that sells this card to me will give me a replacement if it is broken. So I think I'll give it a try though. Thanks! :)

About 600 euros. That includes an OS. Full HD monitor and a keyboad/mouse are already at my home. So I have about 520 euro for the build. The OS will cost about 80 euros.

No. i am sorry, but I never even visited that site. Did not hear of it. I'll give it a try! I use alternate.nl.

Is pcpartpicker international?

Aerocool AP-550 (550 Watt power supply)]

Poor quality , look for XFX , Seasoninic , Antec.

You don't want to run a nice card with that PSU.
