Will a 550 psu be enough for a r9 280 and fx8320e w/ aftermarket cooling

wutangfan · Sep 10, 2015

currently i have an fx 4130 and r9 280. I want to upgrade my cpu to the fx8320e (95w) and was wondering if my current 550 psu would be enough. I'm also thinking of going with a closed loop like the h60.

It will be enough unless you plant to overclock, in which case a 650 watt PSU would be better. It needs to be a high quality PSU not some cheap paperweight. What's the brand and model?

Archaic59 is very right. Make sure its a good make and model. Take a look at the tier list http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

Archaic59 :

It's an xfx 80+ (either bronze or silver).

I just went and checked the box and it's a pro series.

Very good. XFX is made by Seasonic and is high quality. You should not have any problems with it.
