PSU and GPU compatibility

Fanax · Jan 23, 2018

Recently I bought second-hand PC:
900W i-tec Ultimate Gamer https://www.i-tec-europe.eu/?t=3&v=245
MSI H87M-E33
Intel Core i5-4670K
1TB
8GB

I found a Windforce Radeon R9 390 8GB for a proper price, but will my PSU can handle it?

I wouldn't run any PC with it , It's very poor quality, 850w with only 1x PCI-E (6+2 pin), 1x PCI-E (6pin) shouldn't be running cards.

Not a true 850w.

Could it run the card , possibly yes , but don't trust it due to very poor quality.

There's one 8pin cable unused

still a poor quality psu. swap it out. A power hungry card may give you issues, which could kill the entire system.

Well, that sucks :/

Is there any less power-hungry alternatives for this PSU? Like GTX 970, GTX770, GTX780/Ti. I'm aiming for games at high settings @ 1080p.

Thank you

We are glad to help.

Gross, never trust a PSU that flat out lies. Even if they used quality parts and the matched their claims, they're outright lying - you can't get 850W, by definition, from +12V rails with 54 A.
