Would a 600W PSU be sufficient for this setup? And would it all fit in this case?

xTheOtherGuyx · Dec 27, 2015

GPU: HD Radeon R9 390
CPU: AMD FX-8350 (Stock cooler)
Mobo: MSI 970 Gaming
RAM: 16GB (2x8GB DDR3)
Case: Rosewill Challlenger
SSD: Kingston Hyper - X 120GB
HDD: 2x WD 500GB 5400 RPM
DVD Drive: Standard DVD drive lol
PSU: EVGA 600W Bronze
I also have a small SATA RAID controller card

I need someone to help me make sure that this PSU and Case would work for these components

the case can take any standard size power supply without any issues. the r390 cards per amd should not be used on anything less then 600w. so your cutting the wattage real fine with that unit. i would look for a good 750w unit to be safe.

it's on the edge I'd say..
650W 750W would be safer option

Poor choice read this.

I recommend atleast a quality 620w unit and what you have is a mediocre 600w unit. If you are in the US Amazon has the 750w Evga B2 on sale for $57.

Thank you all for the answers, what if I were to run a GTX 970? It seems to have significantly less power consumption for close to the same performance

I guess what I'm asking is what the best card I can get with these power constraints is, I don't care if it's Nvidia or AMD

bignastyid · Dec 27, 2015

The 970 uses less power so a good 550w PSU would work. Still wouldn't use that 600w Evga

bignastyid :

Okay, I'm kinda stuck with this PSU until it dies though lol, so you think that this rig will be fine with 600W though?

Should run those specs, but the PSU won't last long.

Should have a high quality 650w running it.
