Hi guys, im almost done with my micro-atx build with the Prodigy. There is still one thing left... the PSU. Some think its the easiest thing, personally i think its the hardest. I dont even know when my psu is compattible with my mobo xD. i was looking at the evga supernova GS 650w 80+ gold power supply http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-220gs0650v1

here is my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/QC237P

does the PSU i have right now match with my mobo? i noticed that my mobo needs a 24-pin but the PSU doesnt seem to have one? just... please help me :p

The R9 390 draws about 300w while the 4690k draws about 150w under load.
to answer your question, YES that PSU will work without problems... there's a little headroom for CPU OCing albeit on stock settings though.

390 275 watt
4690k 88 watt
its a 650 watt power supply... i am planning on overclocking both my gpu AND cpu. Gpu and Cpu both use 363 watt.... does overclocking really take more than 300 watt?!?!

i did an extreme power supply test, (search it on google) with fans calculated and memory and all that stuff, i got 457 watt. But wouldnt 200 watt be enough for overclocking only?

That 85-88w is IDLE usage

also, the 390 will use about 323-325w under heavy load.

600 is minimum but 650 is what most people are going for to eek out that extra wattage and headroom.

you can OC as much as you want, but I'd recommend OCing your CPU on stock settings. (Voltages and stuff)

This end's plug is 18pin (2x9) while the other end's plug(which goes into your motherboard) is 24pin / 2x12 pin.
