First of all I am new to the community so excuse me if I am posting in the wrong board, let's get straight into this.

These are my current PC Specs:

It is a HP Envy-700PC Series, 700-22ex to be more exact.

CPU: i7-4770 (3.4 ghz)

Ram: 16 GB (2x)

GPU: Nivdia GeForce GT 640 (4 GBs)

PSU: 480 Watt

Motherboard: LGA 1150 (1x PSI 3.0, X3 PSI 2.0).

A photo for my case:

I'm planning to upgrade my GPU to a R9 390 but I know it will cause some problems with the PSU so I am also planning to buy a 600 Watt PSU, alongside with a case, I do not know how big the R9 390 but I want a case that fits the R9 390.

This is what I found so far

Note: All the links are in the spoilers

GPU (R9 390):

PSU (EVGA 600B Bronze 100-B1-0600-KR Power Supply, 600W)

Case (Rosewill CHALLENGER S - ATX Mid Tower Gaming Computer Case - Latching Tool-Less Drive Bay Design, Supports Up to 5 Fans) NOTE: PLEASE CORRECT ME, I DO NOT KNOW IF THE R9 390 FITS INTO THIS CASE

I would suggest evga 650w G2 psu, if it's too much then you can look for a Bronze evga psu, you can't go wrong with evga anyway, and regarding the case, yes it will fit, but I would look for the Corsair Spec 01 or the Deepcool Kendomen, the R9 390 is a great card, and I prefer the Sapphire Nitro edition.

Firstly yes you will have to change the psu. Also get the MSI edition cause i havent heard a lot of good things for the gigabyte 390.

That psu will be ok but not your best choice



Tier Three

Some Haswell compatible, some not (maybe unconfirmed). Still safe to use and stable, just lower quality components. Not really ideal in serious overclocking or super-high load situations, such as a Bitcoin mining rig or a high end gaming system.
