My old card broke and I need to buy a new one ASAP to work.

I am on verge of buying the MSI R9 380 Gaming 2G graphics card. I just want to make sure everything will be fine.

I compiled my current setup with the new card here on partpicker. Partpicker doesn't seem to show any compatibility issues but I want to make sure.

As you can see I have a 600W PSU, my motherboard supports PCI and my PSU has 2x6pin connectors freed since my ATI Radoen 6870HD died.

Am I missing something? The store in my country lists a 600W PSU as recommended but the official site lists 500W so I should be safe, right?

P.S.: I considered the GTX 960 4G- that one seems to perform worse, but has lower power demands.

Why would you say the quality of the PSU is bad? It seems to get 4/5 stars and above generally. I'v had it for a few years now so I'm wondering if I should get ready for some problems

Ok so I did a little research and I found some reviews saying that the PSU wasn't great but the vast majority were praising it. Just to be safe I went for the GTX 960 4G as I do not have money to upgrade to a better PSU at the moment.
