FX6300 and R9 280 on a 500 Watt EVGA 80+ Bronze PSU?

[Izaya Orihara]

Hey guys I'm currently planning out a budget system for a client. The budget is around 450€ so I'm trying to cut down costs on everything.

 

 

 

 

The ram is just a placeholder for some generic 8GB 1600 cl9 ram.

And  the case is a placeholder for the Raijintek Aricdia.

Also the R9 280 that i'm planing on using is a VTX3D Radeon R9 280 X-Edition and not the HIS one.

The question is can I run this of a 500 Watt PSU? I probably can but I'm not too sure. I would guess that the PC would use around 420 Watts with the GPU oced, at stock voltage or with minimal extra power, under full load (Stresstesting with Aida64.) . (Won't really oc  the CPU as I'll be using the stock cooler)

[skullbringer]

yes, wont consume more than 450W max.

[Clyne]

Would be okay because it will use around 450w or less if your not overclocking but i suggest get rid of that mobo, it has some vrm overheating issues.

With a R9-290 and a oc'ed 4670k i pull 450-475 watts at the wall under artificial load. You'll be fine with 500W.

You are just fine it woad pull aronud 350W under full load i know when a youttuber did a video of his rig and how much is pulling power its was overclocked i7 3770k and 2 nvidia geforce gtx 680 is his build and he did cpu stresstest and gpu benchmark and he pulled aroud 350 wats so u are just fine dont go under 500W fore future and  if u oc something it might pull more than duble so stay in 500W or u coad spend 20 buks more fore 600 or 700W of psu bronze so do what ever u like just dont go under 500W of power and u dont want to overvolt and undervolt your sistem and dont goo cheap on psu bicuse if it dies  your sistem is gone same fore motherboard cpu or gpu u caod use old or something  but dont overvolt or undervolt your sistem

That was one 680 tho. (That was JaysTwoCents)  Yeah I was expecting it to work fine but safety first.

Yea true but still its more poferfull gpu and sup setup and its 100%load u will be puttting 60% on that cpu so u are fine u shoad test same thing wight your rig my rig is prity old i mean anchent rig so its not gona draw more than 200W and it has like 500W of psu but still go wight that and yea safety 1.

Expect 95W for the CPU and 250W on the GPU, at full load for both. Rarely are the CPU and GPU at full load. Should be perfectly fine.
