I'm still in the process of finally completing my Gaming PC. I'm looking to buy a SAPPHIRE R9 280x VAPOR X GPU and I'm just wondering if my COUGER SL600 w 80plus PSU would be enough to run it. I appreciate any help. thanks!
 


Hi - A couple things to consider, That PSU has 2 6pin pci e connectors, the card requires 1 6 pin &
1 8pin pcie connector, so your PSU is short the 8 pin. Normally a 600w unit is more than sufficient,
but this PSU has an OEM that I've not heard of before & wouldn't trust without a trusted lab review.

I suggest you upgrade your PSU if you are going to invest in a 280x.

actually this PSU has 2 6+2 Pin PCI E connectors so i don't see any problems with that. Guess im more concerned about the quality and performance
