Should run. Those recommendations are alway exaggerating. Especially with a Haswell Intel CPU. the CX isnt too bad either

Hello to all,

 

I'm seriously thinking about getting a Powercolor R9 390. Although, there's one thing that's keeping me from buying at this moment.

 

The recommended PSU wattage is 750W, this strikes me as a bit odd being that other 390 manufacturers only recommend 600W.

This is the card I'm referring to: http://www.powercolor.com/global/products_features.asp?id=585#Specification

 

I have a 600W PSU, running a 4690K at 4.3GHZ (stock voltages), 8 gigs of RAM and 1 HDD.

 

Thanks in advance!

CPU: Intel i5 4690K Cooler: Cryorig H5 Motherboard: ASrock Z97 Extreme4  RAM: Kingston HyperX Blu Black Series 8GB GPU: Powercolor R9 390 PCS+

Case Fans: 3X Phobya NB-Eloop 120mm in front + 1X Noiseblocker BlackSilentPRO 140mm, rear HDD: WD Caviar Blue 1TB  PSU: Corsair CX600M  Case: Corsair Air 540 ODD: LG Supermulti (Yeah whatever)  Monitors: LG25UM55-P, LG 22EN43

Yessir!

If you want more headroom, then you could probably stretch to a 650W.

4690K // 212 EVO // Z97-PRO // Vengeance 16GB // GTX 770 GTX 970 // MX100 128GB // Toshiba 1TB // Air 540 // HX650

Logitech G502 RGB // Corsair K65 RGB (MX Red)
