600W PSU can handle R9 390?

Can a 600W Power Supply Handle R9 390? Which R9 390 to buy?
I think i'll not get Sapphire Nitro.

It can, a 500W could handle it too. Maybe not 2 390s, but 1 390 should work.

MSI R9 390 GAMING 8G is a good card.

System Power Supply Requirements for a single Radeon R9 390
• AMD specifies a minimum of a 750 Watt or greater system power supply. (Minimum system power requirement based on a PC configured with an Intel Core i7 3.2GHz 130 Watt TDP processor.)
• the system power supply must also have a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 42 Amps or greater
• the system power supply should also have at least one 75-Watt 6-pin and one 150-Watt 8-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors. There are some non-reference design cards that require two 150-Watt 8-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors.

Total Power Supply Wattage is NOT the crucial factor in power supply selection!!! Sufficient Total Combined Continuous Power/Current Available on the +12V Rail(s) is the most critical factor.

Overclocking of the CPU and/or GPU(s) may require an additional increase to the maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current ratings, recommended above, to meet the increase in power required for the overclock. The additional amount required will depend on the magnitude of the overclock being attempted.

Sorry! My bad. 600W. 500W is a no-no.

Why not 500w? I have a 500w and with the 390, my system will only max 400w?

It all depends upon which brand and model of PSU and Radeon R9 390 card and what CPU you're using.

You need to have at least 40+ on your 12v line.
You don't really care if the PSU is 600 or 6000W you care for a good brand, you people need to leanr already!
