600 Watt psu for r9 290

[MinerModi]

So i was wondering whether a evga 600 watt b1 psu could handle a xfx or msi r9 290. From what i can tell it should work but im not really sure so any help would be appreciated.

Link for psu:https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-BRONZE-Warranty-Tester-100-B1-0600-KR/dp/B00EON40CS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1485965247&sr=8-1&keywords=evga+600w

 

Assuming the following specs:

 

i5-4440

single stick of 8 gb ddr3 ram

320gb hdd and a 1tb hdd

stock intel cooler

1 intake and 1 exhaust fan

(R9 290)

(evga 600w b1)

Gigabyte h81m mobo

600watt is too much and the b1 is fine but its not the best.

If u can get Corsair CXM grey unit it will be better.

Or choose from this list tier 4 above is safe

Thanks for the recommendation

Sadly though I cant afford to spend more than 55-60 dollars on a psu.

And i was unable to find a better psu than this one that isn't above 60 dollars.

Though if you can point me to one I would greatly appreciate that.

No problem even if you OC it. The system watt will 400-450w at MAX.

I thought 640watt 80+Bronze where enough that was last year with my 770gtx but now i upgraded to an fury tri-x because of freesync but now my sys hovers with 520watts from the wall ... Thats almost all it can deliver.. What i want to say is with your specs it will do fine but with an upgrade path to an beefier AMD card in the future... A bigger PSU even 100 Watts more is future proofed and you wont need to buy another later.

Sure this one.

https://www.amazon.com/Seasonic-S12II-520-BRONZE-SS-520GB/dp/B00390P1NO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1485973674&sr=8-1&keywords=seasonic+s12ii

Afaik That is the best budget PSU u can find on the market.

The component they use is solid japanese caps nippon chemi.

and the performance is excellent.

But its not modular.

 

The EVGA 600B well they use more lower end TEAPO caps.

Is not japanese and its not the best caps but its good enough.

Dont be afraid though its still a safe and good psu for budget to mid range built.

 

Thank you for that suggestion, from what I can tell the seasonic one is what i am going to go with since its cheaper and better than the EVGA psu.

I didn't spot that psu while I was searching online so many thanks for leading me to it  

All the help was appreciated
