Posted January 15, 2015 how come the manufactures site says 500watt min? 500 min for what? 260X? Your system won't draw any more then 250W under load. You'll be perfectly fine with that 350W PSU.

Posted January 15, 2015 500 min for what? 260X? Your system won't draw any more then 250W under load. You'll be perfectly fine with that 350W PSU. closer to 200w with both gpu and cpu under heavy load.

Posted January 15, 2015 how come the manufactures site says 500watt min? What does "500w" entails? A system with a Pentium? Or an LGA-2011 setup? Does that factor in PSUs that is rated for peak or continuous? In accordance to this thread from MSI, a 450w PSU is recommended for a 260x; however, it also recommend a 19A rating on the 12v: https://forum-en.msi.com/faq/article/printer/power-requirements-for-graphics-cards 19A on the 12v rail is 228w. That's about what you would see in a modern day ~250w PSU. That shows that the "500w" rating is to rated to factor in various of PSU qualities.

Posted January 15, 2015 @satanisahippy In addition to my first post: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/R7_260X/24.html During Furmark, W1zzard of TPU was able to isolate the power draw of the 260x from the rest of the system and got a power draw of 120wDC max. http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2014/07/03/intel-core-i5-4690k-review/6 The 4690k had shown an AC power draw of 108w from the wall during Prime95. Taken into account the PSU inefficiency and that it also have an idled GTX 680, the power draw would be lower than 100wDC. Those numbers are during synthetics loading. It is not something you would see in the real world (unless of course you purposely run those sort of application), and as such, your typical gaming load would be under 200w.
