What to do?

[iRestore]

Yo guys.

I opened a topic earlier today. And i got me some more questions.

Pc specs

CPU: i5-4690

gpu: AMD Radeon HD 7790

PSU: 500W Cooler Master GX Lite

Operating system windows 7 64bit

So. We came to the conclusion to buy either a R9 390 or the 390X

The thing is now. Whats a better choice. I think a 390x because it isnt that much more expensive. But if i buy that one do i need a new PSU too? And if so, do I need a 550/600/650/700/750 WATT PSU? I wont buy a 980/980ti because i think is wasting money. Like you can buy 2x the 390/390x to crossfire for about the same amount of money. I am not thinking about crossfiring.

Thanks for the help.

I'd probably go with 650-Greater for the R9 390/x versions. Itll also give you a bit of headroom to also add any other customizations to the PC.

[RevoltTrain]

I'd honestly go with a 750W PSU in your scenario.

 

I did that so I had future expansion room, like when I order a R9 390 later this year

Any suggestions for a PSU?

Any PSU suggestions. I had a G2 superNOVA 750W suggested earlier

That's quite a good PSU. I'd say go for it

I would upgrade PSU even if i would get the 390. The GX if im not mistaken not very high end.

650w would be enough for both cards. EVGA Supernova 650w G2 is recommended.

I'd personally go with the Corsair AX760i, very high end and has a very low failure rate and is good on electricity

[Carclis]

I can vouch for the Corsair AX760i, although it's very expensive. Just go with 650/750w PSU from tier one or two in this list:

G2 650W - 550W is also enough but headroom is lower

[ConnorDahne]

G2 650W - 550W is also enough but headroom is lower

Can vouch for the g2 550w, used it for a while and never had any issues with it.

Alternatively - the SeaSonic G-series 650W - also good if not better.
