Hey!

A friend just gave me his old R9 290 Vapor-X OC and my PSU is broken so i need a new one anyway.

I have ordered two PSUs at a low price and wanted to ask which one I should keep:

My system:
Intel Q6600 oc’ed to 3000mhz
8GB DDR 2
Asus P5QD Turbo

I can choose between:
EVGA 210-GQ-0650-V2 (650w Gold)
and EVGA 650w BQ (650w bronze)

Some PSU calculators where I can enter MHz of cpu and gpu, says the system would need roughly 500w at peak.
 
Solution
The GQ would be better, in my opinion as it is a higher rated PSU. If you are gaming, you most likely won't load your system to the max, so you will be fine
