you're right. and yeah the strix does suck. It has the worst overclock i believe. My brother has one and It was horrible overclocking I forgot the exact numbers tho. I got an MSI and wanting to get another MSI to run in SLI. I cant get anything else cus OCD lol

Marketing. 

 

More like supply and demand.

Yeah I had the MSI and Strix in my system for a week at one point. The OCD inside me just kills me. Also you gonna wanna get at least 750w or 850w psu if you wanna do that. Im gonna upgrade to maybe an AX 860 or maybe a 1000w one. Since my cx750m is terrible and gonna burn my cpu if I overclock

Does overclocking use more wattage?

Yes but not that much, if a sli system only uses around 540 you would have room for overclocking.

I think the manufacturing of AMD Gpu Cards recommending to have 500w to 750w ,which mean it will COAST more money

620w to 650w is good for R9 380 or 370 unless you will overclock your GpuCpuCpu or using SLi or crossfire in this case go with 850w ,use this site enermax power supply calculator ,to be in the safe side
