What is the "best" 600w PSU to run a msi r9 380?

ilikepork

I have read that the R9 380 needs at least a 500w so ill get the 600 just in case.

 

My specifications are listed below so what I am asking is, will a 600w do the job  and if so what model should I buy thanks very much.

G2 has better voltage regulation otherwise both are good.

I think that the XFX XTR 650W 80+ Gold is a decent PSU for your build. It costs around 100 dollars.

EVGA's GS/GQ/G2 are all very good. GS is made by Seasonic (obvious thumbs up), G2 is from Super Flower (again, obvious thumbs up), and GQ is made by FSP who made a spectacular unit with the GQ. EVGA sells so many of each unit they have to have as many OEMs as possible to supply for them.
