Is this psu enough for r9 280x and fx 8320?

Finnman97 · Sep 22, 2015

I have checked up this build. http://de.pcpartpicker.com/user/Finnman97/saved/whV9TW
But apparently a 520 watt psu isnt enough for even a r9 280 according to a friend who has the r9 280 and fx8320. is that correct or is the psu currently in the part list enough?

520W is more than enough for that combination, you only need around 450W, use this to calculate exactly how much power is needed.

That's a high quality PSU. You should be fine. This site recommends 600W minimum, but they figure a bit high not knowing the quality of the PSU you chose.

If you plan on OC'ing the CPU and/or the gfx card, you may want to consider a bit bigger for some extra headroom.

Actually that part list didnt have the blu ray drive i might be moving from my broken acer aspire m5201 (that is possible right?)

Blu-Ray drive isn't draw much power so it wouldn't really affect the psu calculation result.
