System:

Amd fx 4100

12gb ram

R9 280x

1tb HD & 120gb ssd

Whenever your looking at a PSU try to aim for atleast 80+ certification, if it has that and then 600W should be just fine even maybe a little over.

Thanks for the response

It says it has 85% efficiency (bronze sticker with 85 in it) and do you think my system rebooted because of the wattage and/or 12v rail (Had 32A)

Can you post the brand of your PSU (a picture would also help)?

Have you tried looking at FSP and Seasonic PSUs?

 

EVGA, Cooler Master, and Corsair also make good PSUs (as long as you stay in the midrange units)...

For your setup I would recommend the following.

Corsair

 

XFX

 

Cooler Master

Enermax

Either one of them should be fine, the one I've experienced the best support from is Cooler master, Corsair and Enermax not tried XFX yet.

Something like this maybe

Cooler Master B-Series 600W 12V Single Rail Power Supply

Thanks for the replys so far do you think the above psu will be able to power my system and maybe when I upgrade my cpu to a 6300 or 8320/8350

It should do it, but if your going for a high power build ( when upgrading CPU ) I would take 700W instead ;)
