Hi guys, I'm on the last stages of my build now and all I need is a PSU. I have the following spec:

AMD 8350 4GHz Processor
Asus Sabertooth R2 Mobo
16gb Kingston HyperX RAM
Corsair H105 cooler
Samsung 840 Evo 250gb
Sapphire R9 280x Toxic GPU

I've read that the GPU needs a minimum of 750w power supply, will I be ok to just go for a 750w or would it be best to go for a little higher like an 850w?

I've been looking at either the seasonic x series or a corsair although corsair ones are made by seasonic these days.

Any suggestions are much appreciated :)

Thanks
Adam
 
Have you already purchased the other items ?

I would be looking at a 550W/650W for a 280X, although you can get the new Seasonic M12II Evo fully modular 750W psu for £79.99.

I have already purchased the above items yes, its just the power supply I need.
Thanks for the advice :)

I have an R9 290 and 4670K happily running on an Antec HCG 620w supply. A quality 650W - 750W supply will be plenty of juice for you.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Antec High Current Gamer 620W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £79.99
1 x Seasonic M12II EVO Edition 750W '80 Plus Bronze' Fully Modular Power Supply £79.99
1 x SuperFlower Golden Green HX 650W "80 Plus Gold" Power Supply - Black £79.99
Total : £254.08 (includes shipping : £11.75).


Ok nice one, I'm not looking to crossfire anytime soon so don't need the extra power. A nice 750w will do the job fine then :)

Thanks for your help guys.
