your build is not good well its good but your system requires more wattage your system will probable just randomly shut off with this power supply you currently have a 500 watt one but you need to atleast get a 650 watt one

Thanks for the feedback, any recommendations or should I just go with the 650 variant of that same power supply?

I truly don't know, I would say it doesn't matter, but if you read that somewhere else just change the PSU to a 650w+ it shouldn't be much more expensive. 

 

edit: I thought you were the OP , that goes for the OP.

As I said... Just have to upgrade to a 650w PSU.

[alexhelvetica]

There are cheaper r9 390s and also the case doesn't have usb 3 headers.

and the card is to long making some hdd bays unusable

woops i thought you said it would be to expensive

[BigDay]

you need a bigger psu. 650-750w

[BigDay]

other than that, build looks good.

i would go for a sapphire one instead of a gigabyte one and unless hes going to get 6 hard drives that isn't a problem else i agree with you

Not that high but I wouldn't take that model he put.

I'm going to do this quick, so I'm not searching the power consumption (the card and CPU might take less power)

GPU: Slot+6 pin + 8 pin = 300W

CPU: 100 W

Rest of stuff: 50 W

 

Total: 450 W

 

A proper 550 W PSU should content his needs, I guess that in that site you linked they said 650 W for efficiency purposes

 

Also for the OP @TheAlmightyChalupa for more or less than 20 $ more:

If you're willing to do the mail-in rebates/not pay for Windows, don't mind an H81 chipset instead of H97, and don't mind a 290 at half the VRAM instead of the 390, you can fit a 120GB SSD into your build
