I've seen many people recommending more than 650w saying the 390 can use up to 400 at max load, but MSI's official website says the wattage consumption is 275w:https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/R9-390-GAMING-8G.html#hero-specification
I'm really worried as I'm about to buy a pc with an i7 4790k with corsair cx 600 psu, will it do?

The 970 is a good alternative and the cx would be enough to power it, though as i said earlier i'd swap the cx for something better as soon as possible anyway (assuming it's the old green label one).

Used to have that same psu, what a horrible pile of s*** it was.

To be fair, i think it probably would power the 390 (assuming it can still output 600w) but if i were you, i'd get a new psu anyway.

MSI's Minimum System Requirements stated on the packaging says a 750W or greater power supply (i.e. just like the other AMD AIB (Add-In Board) partners state on their packaging). If you were to overclock the card and run Furmark stability testing you will definitely need it.

so should I not get the r9 390 too much of a risk with the cx 600 psu? Alternatively I can buy a new EVGA SSC 970 for same price, I will be gaming on 144hz 1080p and not looking to change anytime soon, so I will not be playing games on max settings, high settings to get the 100+ I am satisfied, so should I just get the 970? Thanks for the help guys you're very quick
