Will my 600w PSU support a sapphire r9 280x toxic?

FrozenAzoth · Mar 28, 2015

Hi, I was wondering if this PSU could support my system?
Corsair CX600 600W 80Plus Bronze Power Supply

Here are my specs:

Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
MSI H81M-P33 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Sapphire r9 280x toxic video card

Appreciate any help given, I already have all the parts, only the PSU is lacking and its already a go.

Your total system wattage will still be under 500w the CX isn't the best but I don't see any problems with cx600w and a 280x. I do a lot of security work which had stuff running through GPU tools and I always have my 290x running at max load with the fans set at 75% on an xfx 550w power supply which uses even more power than yours. I did recently switch it to the 750w G2 but it performed 24/7 solid with just the 550w.

I dont think there will be problems. it should be enough

Okay, between the three, FSP AU-650M AURUM CM 650W 80Plus Gold Modular, Cooler Master V750S 80Plus Gold Semi-Modular PSU, and the Corsair CX600, which one should I get?

What country do you live in?

Currently residing in the Philippines.

List I can quickly buy from.

Yeah I guessed that with the models that you listed. http://dynaquestpc.com/product/seasonic-g-550-gold-modular-psu-550w/ Will be more than enough to be honest and you also get really good quality if you buy the 550w

FrozenAzoth · Mar 28, 2015

Its almost the same price of http://dynaquestpc.com/product/fsp-au-650m-aurum-cm-650w-80-gold-modular/ and I can have a bit more leeway because of its wattage.

Is that a bad PSU? I'm not really well versed in PSUs for the life of me, also, I heard the sapphire r9 280x toxic should be a 12v rail and 6+2?

eatmypie · Mar 28, 2015

Well it isn't so much the wattage it is more so the 12v rail and how efficiently and continuously the unit can provide the power to the system. The seasonic that I linked has the required connected, and seasonic is a much better overall brand and is also much more suggested than FSP units.

Does that mean I should avoid getting the FSP? I was hoping to get about 600watts+ PSU to assure my brother that it is enough. Sorry if I'm being bothersome.

eatmypie · Mar 28, 2015

If you want over 600w I would get the cxm model a little bit more quality than the CX.
