PSU Wattage Question

Pixelus · Dec 30, 2014

I was wondering if the PSU in this build will be able to support it. I can't add any more money to it and I could only downgrade something to improve something else. I'm especially worried about it not being able to support the GPU. Any response is appreciated.

600W is more than enough for the 280X. Reputable brand (Corsair), you'll be fine.

top quality psu that will easily run the system, cheaper ram going with 2 sticks and it is faster being dual channel and changed out the hdd to a slightly cheaper 1tb one. saves you $20 and better parts.

Just buy the 64 bit oem version of win 8.1 and save another $15 or so
