Posted June 25, 2015 My budget is 680 max http://pcpartpicker.com/p/fcWkK8 Im not too sure about the power supply tho. 478 watts on a 500 watt power supply seems ok to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted June 25, 2015 I would recommend getting a power supply with a higher wattage. If you get a 500w psu then it won't be efficient. You could downgrade your graphics but its your choice really.

Posted June 25, 2015 500w for 290x is extremely close. Not recommended. 600w is much better.

Posted June 25, 2015 550W or preferably 600W. This will be a close call with a 500W PSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted June 25, 2015 if you're cutting it that close, look at the power supply and check what lines your loading. the 12volt line has a amp limit, you may or may not be exceeding it. PSUs degrade over time, and PPC is very conservative with their power requirements. yes, it will probably work. now is it the best? maybe not. not saying your right or wrong, but just stuff to think about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 25, 2015 Author Take out the SSD and get a better PSU. You can always add an SSD later, but your PSU should last you a very long time http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3qKwf7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 25, 2015 So everyone is aware that the 4460 may not even work with the h81 board without a bios update? What if it ships with an old bios? The board is now useless to him. I always reccomend H97 for this reason. With a 290x he needs a 600 watt PSU Laptop: Thinkpad W520 i7 2720QM 24GB RAM 1920x1080 2x SSDs Main Rig: 4790k 12GB Hyperx Beast Zotac 980ti AMP!
