Hello , I am planning to buy a new gaming PC , and I have got some concerns when it comes to the PSU . Components:

Motherboard :  Asrock 970 Pro3 R2.0

Hard Disk :  Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB SATA3 64MB

GPU : MSI Radeon R9 280 3GB GDDR5 384-bit [OC, TWIN FROZR IV]]

Case : DeepCool TESSERACT BF

RAM : Kingston DDR3 8GB (2 x 4GB) 1600MHz CL9 HyperX Savage

CPU :  AMD FX X8 8300

PSU : Sursa Seasonic S12II-520 Bronze

My biggest concern is the GPU as I have my doubts this PSU is enough for the R9 280. 

 

 

I was too lazy to write the name of the components so I just copied their name... :)

A. Its from Seasonic...I have my doubts it will blow up

B. If Linus can run a GTX 980 and an Intel 5960X off a 520watt Fanless PSU, I am pretty sure you can too.

C. Linus also ran a GTX Titan and an Intel 3770K off a 550watt PSU as well..., you can too.

D. Heck, I am even running a Pentium G3258 and a GTX 680 off a 450watt PSU...
