Corsair 750w CX series or Raidmax RX-850AE 850W Power Supply Unit

Connydom · Dec 21, 2014

Hello im a bit stuck for my system. My parts are a r9 290 powercolor pcs+ a fx 8350 a M5a97 r2.0, and i might want to overclock in the future. Is 750w sufficient or should i get the 850w for $20 more? I can also get an aerocool imperator 1150w for the same price as the 850w.

Please help with my psu choice

Neither of those are good. EVGA G2 750w's are the way to go for 750w PSU's.

Could you send me a link to your motherboard.

Budget?

Even a decent 650w psu would do the trick. But you can usually get an evga 750w at a pretty good price and it's of much higher quality than those you listed.

The 650w model is 10 bucks less.

Okay my budget is around R1500 which is about $140ish

An R9 290 PC needs 650+W eg

Thanks alot!

do you think it is suffiecient for over clocking aswell?

i7Baby · Dec 21, 2014

Yes - the 650W allows 'headroom' - which includes overclocking.
