I've recently gotten myself a Dell precision t3500. I bought a gpu for it as well (Sapphire Nitro r9 380). But it couldn't fit in the case, so i bought a new case. The Sharkoon VG4-W (https://goo.gl/3xI7Wy). Now the power supply does only have 525 watts, and as some forums said that if you put a pci-e 3.0 gpu on a pci-e 2.0 slot, you'll need more watts, which it did. So I'll need a new power supply. Now I need a power supply, best above 600 watts that can fit in the Sharkoon VG4-W. Do you have a suggestion? Thanks

That is completely untrue and anyone who told you that shouldn't be dispensing advice.

Any good 550w PSU is more than enough for you, even a 450 should do the job.

The Corsair CX450M is a good value option here.

Ok, that's good to know. Also I found online that a power supply one of the few computerparts is that "future proof" is. I found the EVGA pc power supply 600 W ATX 80 plus (https://goo.gl/lMNUoG). For the price I think it's a good deal, what do you think?

I think I can just import, but I can't find any website where it is cheaper, do you know any?
