What PSU watt power?

[Yoo Song Won]

I'm planning to get a Sapphire Radeon R9 380 4GB GPU but I have a 350W power supply? Is this enough power to run it?

 

UPDATE: I CURRENTLY HAVE AN INTEL I5 4590! Thank you...

PCPartpicker gives pretty accurate assumptions of how much power you should need

350W MIGHT be enough, but everyone will advise a 500W or more PSU, ideally from tiers 1 to 4 on this list:

You're cutting it waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy too close.

Go here "http://www.legitreviews.com/sapphire-nitro-r9-390-8gb-nitro-r9-380-4gb-video-card-review_166123/2"

I'm pretty sure its the right card. It says it needs a 500w psu.

Well with a 100W CPU that only leaves 50W for any other components, so i'd say 450W at the least. (very estimated)

350W is borderline enough, tho it depends on what CPU you're using too, ans since power supply degrades over time so you might run into issues after a year or two
i'd suggest u get a 500~600W PSU from a reliable, tier 1~3 PSU manufacturer

I have an intel i5 4590... is 350 still enough?

well 350W is BARELY enough like i said, it also depends on how many fans you are using, how many hard disk you are using, etc etc

to save time and worries, just get a 500~600W PSU like what i mentioned earlier
 

u might save a bit of money now but in the end you might need to change out the PSU to another one while if u bought a better one in the first place you would be saving

 

if all else fails, a 450W is still better than 350W, that's just too low imo...

No. I just put those two and a motherboard into pcpartpicker and it's coming out with 334W estimated power draw. I'd say at the very least you should have 100W over recommended just to account for degradation.

I would go with at least 450, just for sure. 350 is really on the edge.
