So i need help with choosing my PSU. I thought about a corsair rmi 850 but dont know if that is going to be enough...

 

My build:

Corsair Obsidian 450d

Sapphire R9 390X TRI - X OC 8192 MB

i7-4200

my old asrock mobo (i don't really know the name)

16gb of ddr3 Kingston Memory

240 gb ssd Kingston

alpenföhn Matterhorn as CPU cooler

 

I would love some recommendations :)

regards Bernhard

Save some money and get an EVGA GQ/GS/G2/B2. RMI is very good but a bit more expensive.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

RMi would do you totally fine, though there are other options like the Evga B2/G2/GQ/GS Or Seasonic G 650 or XFX XTR 650W Or Antec HCG 620W :D.

RMi is fine for that build, but if you don't need the Corsair Link feature of the PSU, then I think you're better of getting the RMx instead for a better value. You don't want to pay extra for a feature that doesn't interest you.

so you think 650W is enough for the build? cause on the spec sheet it says 750W Min. powersupplie...

 

Usually the specsheets overrate the PSU you need. 650W for a single card is usually totally fine.

(look at the 290X score, since the 390x is based on the same chip i believe)
