Question about power supply

[bambinobomber]

Will an antec earthwatts 380 be enough to power a 8350 overclocked @4.5 and a single 7850? Right now I own a 1.5 year old TR2 600w but I've heard they are horrible for overclocking.

I'll be only using 1 SDD paired with a 1tb HDD.

Antec earthwatts 380 is a good power supply and Got enough AMP in 12v Rails, should be able to power your sytem with 8350 overclocked @4.5 and a single HD7850 but It will stress the PSU over 75% which isn't advisable. And TR2 600w isn't a quality either, hence its best if you can later down the road change the PSU to something like a ANTEC VP450 or XFX 450 Core.

Thanks

I can't find the VP450 anywhere where I live, but there's a Corsair GS500, according to a review by Hardwaresecrets these are good supplies for the price.

There's also a high current gamer 400 but I've heard that those seem to have issues with the fan causing rattling noises after a while.

The Antec High Current series is actually fairly good, very respectable range there.

Where are you buying from, just we might be able to find a good supply for you. Budget?
