440W on a 500W PSU - Is This Cutting It Too Close?
So I am hoping to add in a Sapphire Tri-X R9 280X soon, and I am in a state of annoyance as there is a great deal on it, however pcpartpicker estimates my wattage to be 440W and I only have a 500W PSU. eXtreme's calculator recommends a minimum of 463W, and at 100% peak load, my system will draw 513W. Is this cutting it too close?
Yeah I would look at upgrading your PSU
