The PSU you listed is just about enough for that build.

However with a 390 I personally would go for a 650w for some clear headroom

These are both the same price , both very good quality units.

The gq is a fairly new unit by fps - there aren't many reviews but the few there are are very very promising & the stripdowns show only class 1 components are used in it.not quite as good as the g2/GS but $30 cheaper & not far behind at all

First of all, good choice on parts. The psu has to be at least 650w for the r9 390,I would personally suggest getting the evga supernova g2 650w,one of the best units out there, and even id you don't go for it, don't go cheap on the psu, it's what can kill your expensive build.

For a 390 you'll want a bit more head room than 550W, even with a seasonic. I would highly suggest taking a look at 650 and 750W units like the G2 line from EVGA and even other seasonics. It'll increase the price a bit, but you'll thank yourself

put on a 800watt power supply or even higher watt one cause if you overclock your system you gonna need some extra power!!

madmatt30 · Mar 17, 2016

^ not an overclockable setup & 650w offers around 150w of reserve power.
If there was a 750w for a similar price then maybe worth it but not really necessary.

madmatt30 :

I think he meant the GPU, which can be a total beast (not good type) when it comes to power consumption since it can draw up in the 400W+ range by itself (momentary, not sustained). A good 750W supply should be able to handle even significant overclock, and 650 is enough without overclock

I can't go for EVGA because my country doesn't sell it, any more suggestions? Maybe corsair?

Gingerbread · Mar 17, 2016

Maybe give a website so we can see what your options are.

Jeeperii · Mar 17, 2016

I am not shipping the parts I am buying it in Lowyat.

Gingerbread · Mar 17, 2016

SuperFlower 650W F.MODULA (A/M/80+) SILVER
I saw the website lowyat has this PSU, superflower are the best when it comes to PSUs so you can buy this one.

basroil · Mar 17, 2016

Gingerbread :

Superflower is NOT the best company, especially their older units. Seasonic is a better bet overall unless you get to the superflower leadex platform units.

Jeeperii · Mar 18, 2016

Super Flower Leadex 650w Gold, the SeaSonic M12II 620 Bronze 620W or the Seasonic G series 650w??

turkey3_scratch · Mar 18, 2016

Get the FSP Hydro G 650W unit.

For a cheaper unit, EVGA 750W B2 is always a great price.

basroil · Mar 18, 2016

Jeeperii :

EVGA G2 is Leadex Gold, and cheaper than the m12II usually, go for it

Jeeperii · Mar 18, 2016

I told u guys that I can't get EVGA.

basroil · Mar 18, 2016

Jeeperii :

I just told you that the leadex gold and evga one are the same thing, and that it the leadex gold is often cheaper than the m12II. You said the leadex gold was available, so go get it!

Jeeperii · Mar 19, 2016

Oh I thought that the evga one is built with the leadex gold haha imma newb.

Jeeperii · Mar 19, 2016

How about the seasonic g series 650w??

basroil · Mar 19, 2016

Jeeperii :

Also good, but if the leadex is cheaper or less than 10% more, might as well get the leadex

And no, EVGA!=Superflower, but the G2 series is just the Leadex Gold platform pretty much untouched.

Jeeperii · Mar 19, 2016

Is the FSP Hydro one good or should I stick with super flower leadex gold or the seasonic g series???

basroil · Mar 19, 2016

Jeeperii :

Hydro is good, but superflower leadex gold is better. Is it better than the g-series? not sure

turkey3_scratch · Mar 20, 2016

Superflow Leadex Gold/EVGA G2 is more expensive than the Hydro.

Jeeperii · Mar 23, 2016

Leadex Gold is my choice.
