Hi there I recently bought an AMD R9 380 and my PSU is too weak to fully utilize it so I need to purchase a new PSU that can. Here are my PC Specs and I was wondering if this PSU I was told that would be able to be enough to power my system.

This is the PSU I'm looking at to purchase : CORSAIR CX series CX600 600W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS BRONZE

This would be replacing my ATX ILG-600 600WATTS

CPU : i5 2500k @ 3.30 GHz
GPU : AMD R9 380 2GB VisionTek
RAM : 8GB
Operating System : Windows 8.1 64 Bit
PSU : ATX ILG-600 600WATTS
CPU Cooler : Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
MOBO : Asrock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3

Ok could you recommend me a 50 - 100 $ range PSU from Tier 1 or 2 for me ? If you could that help me out ALOT because my old man wants to order me a PSU today most likely.

It will probably work(for awhile atleast) but if you put it under a load and/or it gets warm the poor capacitors will age quickly and fail sooner.

Ok thanks, this is from their page "High quality Japanese capacitor produces supreme performance with low impedance characteristics. The stable operation works for longer time with excellent reliability to enhance the power supply performance. " so I hope they're not poor quality especially coming from Japan.
