Hey guys, 

 

My little brother is planning to upgrade his pc.

We selected the R7850 for him.

How much watt does he need?

 

his system:

- i7 9xx <-- don't now which one (codename is lynfield) 

- 1tb HDD

- 7850

- Dell motherboard (decent one)

- Dell XPS Case

- I hope a cx500 is enough for him

 

Thank you!

A cx430 is plenty for that.

I thought of this as soon as I saw the title:

Yeah 500 watts should be more than enough. Just don't overclock your cpu and gpu too much

That thing doesn't work for me for some reason o_O

 

Back to the subject, the CX500 would be a great choice for this build, or the Silverstone Strider ST50F-ES is also a great choice for cheaper, as Silverstone makes quite good PSUs. http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=248

What do you mean? you just enter your parts and press calculate unless you have javascript disabled it should work.

Lynnfield was a codename for LGA1156 cpus, while i7-9XX were LGA1366, so check your part list again ;)
