My newest PC build is going to include a Gigabyte 980 windforce GPU card, and an AMD Fx-9590 CPU w/ Corsair H100i cooler.
Specifications for the GPU says it needs atleast a 600w Power supply unit. The CPU is a 220w one.

My PSU is a Rosewill Capstone 750w. What i want to know is whether or not the 750w will be able to power the 980 and the FX. Both of those combined is 820w, but I'm not sure if the 600w is really the actual power draw.

Thank you.

You need at least an 850w PSU for a 9590 , AMD recommends 1000w , but 850w will work.

Your choices for the 9000 series:



Asrock 970 Performance
ASRock 990FX Extreme9
ASRock 990FX Extreme6
Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z
Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0
Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 R4.0\5.0
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD7
MSI 990FXA-GD80V2

AMD.COM

Warning: This power draw of this CPU is almost twice that of the average CPU. Due to this, AMD recommends using at minimum a 1000W power supply. For cooling, AMD recommends using either either closed loop liquid cooling or full system liquid cooling.
