Is my PSU enough for this card?

Go to solution Solved by Peter Vaughan Truslow,

for a system like this I would recommend a PSU in the 500-650 watt range. chances are the system would draw around 400 watts under load, so that 600W PSU would do fine

I am planning to buy Sapphire R9 280X vaporx trix card and I am not sure whether my PSU, (thermaltake litepower 600(w0355)) can handle it. Below are the full specs, any and all answers are appriciated.

Specs:
Intel i7 4770(non k @stock 3.4 GHz)
HyperX Fury Blue @1600 MHz (stock)
MSI H81M-P33
Intel stock CPU fan
Thermaltake Litepower 600W (w0355)
Thermaltake Pure 120mm LED fan (x2)
Westerd Digital Blue 1TB HDD
TSSTcorp Optical Drive(not sure about the model but don't think it affects much)
Crappy USB keyboard and mouse
Logitech G430 7.1 Surround
A cheap fan controller incoming


I think I wrote evereything that takes power through the PSU in here. What do you think an estimated wattage of this system at full load, and do you think r9 280x will run on this system?

Should be just fine

My arsenal: i7-9700k Gaming Rig, an iPhone, and Stupidity.

Thanks wow I didn't expect this many answers this quickly. I will now just wait for my card I guess.
