Hi, i need help with what PSU i need for my upcoming system, PSU calculators like http://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator say i need 562 watts, but i dont know. Please help.


My components:
Cpu: Amd fx 8350
Gpu: Amd radeon r9 390
Ram: HyperX fury 16Gb 1866mhz ddr3
Cpu Cooler: Noctua NH-UB9 SE2
Fans:120mm X2 and 92mm X2

I'm going to overclock the cpu and gpu a little bit aswell.

yeah sounds about right, the FX-8350 has 125W and the r9 390 usually take around 375W so that itself is 500W to give over head for overclocking you will need a 650W+ PSU I personally have an EVGA G2 650W psu and its amazing, its rated one of the best psu's in this range, you could also look at anything made by XFX or Seasonic anything from either of these brands at 650W+ will be able to handle your system even when overclocked.

This would be plenty of wattage for your rig and support the R9 390 just fine. Quailty unit from SeaSonic:

Power Supply: SeaSonic S12II 620W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($64.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Total: $64.99

If you can afford a bit more for a fully modular PSU then this would be one of the best you can get:

Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA GS 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($80.62 @ Mac Mall)
Total: $80.62

The R9-390 may require a PSU with up to 50A capacity on the +12v rail. The R9-390 is a 300W card and generally requires a 650W PSU. The Seasonic 620 I posted JUST meets those requirements. The EVGA 650w GS has 54 amps on the 12v rail and would be plenty.

you can overclock on the EVGA g2 650W , I have an i5-6600k OC 4.2Ghz and an r9 290x that is also overclocked both running on an EVGA g2 650W this power supply is more than enough but if you want to go for 700w+ that's fine too wont cause any problems but its not needed, the only reason 750W is suggested is because the want to allow for crappy psu's power dip but if you get a good psu like some of the ones mentioned above you can easily use a 650W
