R9 390 875 Euro

[Frolos]

I'm planning to build a new pc (my first one) and am kind of wondering how the power consumption will work out of the build below, mainly due to the R9 390.

 

I plan to use this rig for gaming on a single 1080P monitor. Mostly games like, WoW, LoL, D3, DA:I, Witcher 3, Overwatch, DS3 and many more.

 

Any feedback is welcome!

CPU: Intel Core i5-6400 Boxed

Mobo:  Gigabyte GA-B150M-D3H

GPU: Sapphire Radeon NITRO R9 390 8G

Case:  Cooler Master Silencio 352

RAM:  Crucial CT2K4G4DFS8213

PSU:  Cooler Master GM G550M

SSD:  Crucial BX200 240GB

CPU:

A 390 will max out 1080p and the card itself needs 250w to run.

[Nacho Marco Segui]

550 watts are enough

you can put all the parts in pcpartpicket.com and it'll tell you the rough estimate

dont get this psu for your rig `-`

your 390 probably will have issues running with it

get something more decent 

 

get something like an EVGA G2 550W

Sorry bro, that was not the intention 

 

I did use the calculator and it indicates I would only need 373 watts, that seems a bit low but as indicated, this will be my first build.

 

@ Moonzy, your suggestion will run me over budget sadly enough, but are the 30 euros more really worth it?

the calculator is pretty accurate so if you buy a 430 or 530 w psu u can easily overclock  like if you don´t need modularity the be quiet system power 8 500w /50 Euro) is great and cheap, if you need modularity it´s going to be a bit more expensive

@Frolos In the future (or now) you should use PCPartPicker to plan your build. It will tell you how many watts you'll be using and also help make sure that all of your parts are compatible. As well as tell you how much the PC will cost you.

But it's quite a bad unit in terms of internal quality.

just used it in a build for a friend, and it has black cabels, and now ugly ketchup+mustard, what i think is a huge selling point at this price, also reasonable quite, and really what do u get for 50 euros

Thanks for the feedback and the pointer towards pcpartpicker, from the price point of view its a giant flustercluck as i live in the Netherlands, but it shows my build at 415 watts so 550 should be fine. Can anyone give arguments for why i should avoid the cooler master in the OP?

550W should be fine, PCPartPicker puts in a buffer anyway, so anything above 415 will work. I would think that the PSU has some reliability problems based on that comment by @Moonzy, I use an EVGA 600B, which is cheap and has worked fine for me. Keeping in mind that I have a GTX 560 and the TDP is 150Watts spread out by 6 pins. A 390 has a TDP of about 275Watts so keep that in mind.

lol your mention didnt work

make sure it turned orange like how people are using it

 

anyway its totally worth it, i know someone who have a 970 he cant use because he have a bad 460W psu, and the 970 is about 100W lower tdp than the 390 so there's that

the 600B isnt that great, but if you already have it then its fine

anything below 9 points in jonny guru is considered crap, 9.5 points and above are the good ones
