Hi I have a F2A68HM-HD2 mother board,

I recently put a GPU in and found out my crappy PSU doesnt have a 6 pin PCE.

So I looked at this PSU and wanted to buy it now so it can come tomoz at 6pm

its called Corsair CP-9020097-UK VS550 ATX/EPS Vs Series 80 Plus Power Supply Unit

please reply TT is it compatible? Im a noob at this

VS is the lowest quality in the Corsair lineup , what GPU?

It can run a card that only needs a 6 pin PCIE power connection.

As SR said above, the VS series is not a very good PSU. I'd look for a Seasonic S12-520, a Antec HCG, XFX XTR series

Here is Guru3D's power supply recommendation:

AMD R9 370 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 450 to 500 Watt power supply unit.
AMD R9 370X Crossfire - On your average system the cards require you to have a 700 Watt power supply unit as minimum.

If you are going to overclock GPU or processor, then we do recommend you purchase something with some more stamina.

The Seasonic S12-520 / Antec HCG will work fine ... move up to the S12 / HCG 620 if you are overclocking. All four (as well as the XFX Core / TS Series) are built on Seasonic's GB Bronze platform.

Last question is 500 watts enough for this system I have?

Last question is 500 watts enough for this system I have?

Yes, see Guru3D link above ... tested by measuring current "at the wall"
