Hello!
Sorry I can see a few more threads around a similar topic but I just wanted some advice for myself. I've attached my PC best I can on partpicker - in it the OCZ 600w PSU.
Currently sitting in my PC is a Sumvision pro 800w (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sumvision-Power-800W-Supply-PCI-E/dp/B00K76VEFW/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8) - this was a prebuilt machine and I didn't even think to check the make till now - anyway my 390 came today and I realised that Sumvision PSU only has one 6 pin (this needs one 6pin and one 8pin) and it turns out to be a pretty bad PSU anyway (I could get a molex converter for the extra pin but I don't really want to risk it after checking it out)
Either way my roommate has a spare Ocz 600w and I'm tempted to give it a try but really don't want to fry everything. There's similar posts that seem to think it should run it fine although it's not optimal. Either way I wanted to check my own wattage use, I don't know too much about that side of things.
PCpartpicker puts this build in at 482W and says no incompatibilities.
If worse comes to worse I could buy a new PSU - but honestly, I probably shouldn't of bought the graphics card! So if I can use this for a while a least that'd help my wallet out a bit, guess I'm looking for some reassurance.
