I have a similar setup. look at my signature.

There is still some headroom, although only a little bit.

PC specs:

CPU: i7 2600k @ 4.5GHZ (1.36v)

Motherboard: Asus P8z68-v pro ATX

RAM: 8GB (2x4gb) Corsair Vengeance LP 1600mhz

Graphics Card: Currently HD6950, soon to be R9 290.

 

Could my PSU handle an upgrade to a R9 290?

If only we all could afford 8 SSD's in Raid 0  :wub:

Ah thanks. Nice set up. I will reduce my OC a bit as I can get 4.4 at 1.28v to be on the safe side.

Oh Wow, I have no idea how to calculate Watt usage so I was guessing the system would be drawing 550-600. Thanks for that, is that from experience?

Honestly I haven't done a test on this with my system like this yet, so.....I would be lying if I told him any numbers. But it is enough! ;-)

Just tested:

Pretty much 500Watt max from the wall, so that would only be around 400Wat actually being used, maybe a little bit more, but not too much since I only have 80+ bronze.

You guys were right! ;-)

I have ot ask, when a power supply is rated for 500w.

Is it 500w AC from the wall or 500w DC into the components?

I'm guessing its DC

DC. It always refers to the maximum power it can actually deliver to the conponents
