i5-4460 XFX R9 280X

PCGUY2015 · Jul 19, 2015

I have an i5-4460 CPU with GA-Z97-HD3 MOBO, 16GB DDR3 (2x8) and GPU XFX R9 280X, Will these PSU be enough? I have 2 options the Rose RX850-S-B Xtreme Series or the EVGA 110-B2-0850-V1 80 PLUS Bronze 850 W?

Also will I be able to play Battlefield 4 on max settings on a 1080p?

The PSUs will be enough and you will be able to play battle field at 1080p on ultra easily. i'd recommended the evga PSU

Avoid that rosewill(they have a couple good models, but the extreme isn't one of them). The Evga B2 is a good unit. However 850w is overkill unless you are planning on a crossfire setup. A good 550w PSu would run the 4460 and a 280x. The 280x will play BF4 well.

But in the 280X specs says it need minimun 750w of power

gpu manufacturers always recommend much higher psu wattage than what is needed. xfx 550w core edition is a nice affordable option

Why would you want a discontinued Rosewill Xtreme Series RX850-S-B 850W from 8 years ago? It's an old group regulated circuit design, Taiwanese capacitors, hardwired output cables, lower efficiency shorter warranty.

The EVGA SuperNOVA 850 B2 (110-B2-0850-V1) is superior to that Rosewill Xtreme in every way. Modern DC-to-DC circuit design, semi-modular output cables, all Japanese capacitors, higher efficiency and longer warranty.

System Power Supply Requirements for a single AMD Reference Design Radeon R9 280X
• a minimum of a 600 Watt or greater system power supply is recommended. (Minimum system power requirement based on a PC configured with an Intel Core i7 3.2GHz 130 Watt TDP processor.)
• the system power supply must also have a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 37 Amps or greater
• the system power supply should also have at least one 75-Watt 6-pin and one 150-Watt 8-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors. There are some non-reference design cards that require two 150-Watt 8-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors.

Total Power Supply Wattage is NOT the crucial factor in power supply selection!!! Sufficient Total Combined Continuous Power/Current Available on the +12V Rail(s) is the most critical factor.

Overclocking of the CPU and/or GPU(s) may require an additional increase to the maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current ratings, recommended above, to meet the increase in power required for the overclock. The additional amount required will depend on the magnitude of the overclock being attempted.

EVGA SuperNOVA 850 B2 (110-B2-0850-V1)
• OEM: Super Flower
• maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating: 70 Amps <===== Way more than sufficient
• two 75-Watt 6-pin and four 150-Watt (6+2)-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors <===== More than sufficient
• Ambient Temperature Maximum (i.e. without derating): 50°C
• Semi-Modular Output Cables: Yes
• Passes Official Intel Haswell Compliance Test: Yes
• 80 PLUS BRONZE Efficiency Certification
• 5 Year Limited Warranty

Thanks for the info, so the evga 600w model 100-B1-0600-KR should be enough?

PCGUY2015 :

Crossload testing of the EVGA 600B Bronze (100-B1-0600-KR) shows that it is not Intel Haswell compatible.

The following are excellent choices:

EVGA SuperNOVA 550 G2 (220-G2-0550-Y1) https://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-220g20550y1
EVGA SuperNOVA 550 GS (220-GS-0550-V1) https://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-220gs0550v1

EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2 (220-G2-0650-Y1) https://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-220g20650y1
EVGA SuperNOVA 650 GS (220-GS-0650-V1) https://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-220gs0650v1

Why don't you want to go for Corsair ? They make good PSUs..
