Currently my system with a Radeon R9 270 is being powered by a LEPA N500-SA but I recently got my hands on an ARK 600/12, for FREE! Anyway, the specs on the side show 2x 12v connectors @ 15 amps each. My LEPA also has 2x PCI-E connectors but it only shows one whole rating of 34 amps on the 12v rail.

Will the new Ark 600w PSU be ok to un the Radeon R9 270?

This guy (http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1922284/power-supply-270-system.html) says you only need 28 amps for the R9 270... My doubt comes from the way the Ark PSU has its amps rating shown.

System:
AMD FX 6300 3.5Ghz (I do not overclock, ever)
8GB Ram DDR3 1600(single)
1TB HDD (primary)
2TB HDD (storage)
1 DVDRW generic brand
1 200mm panel fan
CPU cooler Logisys Beta 400 st (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835999013)
Gigabyte Radeon R9 270 2GB

Use it at your own risk. I don't always use the Best but unless I can get a good review on a PSU I will not use it . I
don't think you will get a review on the ARK.
No info on this PSU. I would not trust it.
