Will this GPU work with no issues with my H270 Motherboard and Intel i5 7600?

I'm running a r9 390 on a 550w OCZ ZS Series bronze psu just fine. With i5 4670 non k, 4x ram, a ton of fans, leds and 4 hard drives.

Given the 1080ti is listed for the same tdp, could I switch over to that without burning down the house? :')

But I think the 1080ti consumes 20w more than the 390 so my power draw would be 500-520 watts so I don't dare to upgrade to a 1080 ti xD

Your psu is 600w thats the minimum requirement listed by nvidia combined with an i7 on 3,4ghz. So you should be fine with your i5 I'd say, im here thinking about a psu upgrade because I'm 50w short of what I want.

To answer the OP:

Will it work? yes.

It's the bare minimum however and if you can afford a 1080ti you really should make sure it's paired with a good PSU. You don't want to find out your low quality PSU damaged your expensive graphics card.

that is a mediocre unit, power supplies degrade over time

dont trust it to run a nice $700 card


/shrug up to you, good luck

Assuming you use it near full load all of the time, which i don`t.

I mostly make it through semi half load.

regardless of load, they degrade

poor units just do it faster because of crap chinese caps, low gauge wire, poor soldering, etc etc

If that breaks, which good PSU that is affordable maybe Titanium PSU

titanium is meaningless


that rating is efficiency only, has nothing to do with quality of the unit


you could get a titanium unit that lasts for a day and then dies


you need a good tier 1 or 2 unit from this list:
