Posted November 29, 2014 Hello this is my first post, so I wanted to make a decent one. Okay, I have been looking around for a while and I have gone to multiple sources, but I still can't figure out if the power supply I have thought about buying has enough power. Anyway, I was wondering was a Corsair CX600M enough to fully power a AMD A10 6700 and a HIS IceQ X2 R9 270x, or would I be pushing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 29, 2014 That's good. Although why buy an APU with such a good GPU? TBH if you haven't bought the parts yet ditch the APU. Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be pushing 600W with an overclocked 4790k, two overclocked 980s and a boatload of case fans. Also, you are buying an APU that, as far as I know, cannot be Crossfired with the onboard graphics of your APU... Why exactly? |PSU Tier List /80 Plus Efficiency| PSU stuff if you need it.

Posted November 29, 2014 A cx500 is already more than enough.

Posted November 29, 2014 Its is more than enough. 60FPS Microwave Intel Core i5-4670K | Galax GTX 970 EXOC | ASRock Z97E-ITX/ac | Team Elite 8GB 1600MHz | Gelid Black Edition | Samsung slowdown + WD Blue 1TB x2 | Cooler Master V550 | Corsair K65 + Logitech G100s | MasterCase Pro 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 29, 2014 Thank you very much! Lol It was my "get off the ground jogging, without killing my wallet" computer. Well you would have been better off with something like an i3 or 860k/Pentium K IMO. If you haven't bought the parts yet (which it sounds like you have), you should consider changing your CPU choice Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me.

Posted November 29, 2014 Well you would have been better off with something like an i3 or 860k/Pentium K IMO. If you haven't bought the parts yet (which it sounds like you have), you should consider changing your CPU choice FX-6300 is a steal at $85 right now. Better off with that after all the stories of "AAA titles don't work on the really good and really powerful but really dual core Pentium G3258." Unless the OP is stuck with a Micro ATX/Mini ITX build, I say FX-6300. |PSU Tier List /80 Plus Efficiency| PSU stuff if you need it.

Posted November 29, 2014 So is Bubblewhale the forum AMD hater now He bought an 8320 at the wrong time and doesn't like how old AM3+ is. He doesn't think it's a bad CPU necessarily, just not what he really wanted. |PSU Tier List /80 Plus Efficiency| PSU stuff if you need it.

Posted November 29, 2014 So is Bubblewhale the forum AMD hater now No, just the 83** hater. I thought he was the AM3+ hater. I guess not.

Posted November 29, 2014 YES IT WAS ._. Oh right. AM3+, KING OF OC SINCE 2011 I hate the fact that AMD is not really changing their platform year after year... kompooterz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 29, 2014 Here's what he told me from PMs A broken pic! Wow! YES IT WAS And?

The octo-core FX's looked like crap at first. Unless you are a powerful video editor, you kinda don't need eight cores... kompooterz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
