700W psu is enough for this?

[Lukinch]

Hi guys, i'm new in the forums, i'm wondering if my 700W psu Sentey 700 BRP is enough for the new r9 390.

This are my pc's specs:

Motherboard: ASUS M5A99X PRO 2.0
CPU: AMD FX+8350 Black Edition
RAM G.SKILL 4gb 2 x (8gb) 1866 hz DDR3
HDD: don't remember the name.
Cooler: Cooler Master 212+

And the actual GPU is AMD r9 270x.

I'm between GTX 970 and the r9 390, i don't know what to chose actually. I think the 390 would be better for DX12. What you guys think?

Depending on my actual psu what should i pick?

personally I think that gtx 970 is better because I'm a part of the team nvdia, however since u have a amd cpu, I think that the amd r9 390 is more suitable for your pc and it is also 10% more sufficient than the gtx 970 in most games.

And also, a 700w psu is more than enough for ur pc, since u don't have extra fans and other optical drives.

And also, I think a corsair psu is more reliable.

Nope , that is a very very poor power supply.

I like the 390.

A 700w PSU WITH DUAL 12V+ rails of 20 Amps and only 510w max output is very very poor.

Not sufficient. 🙁

So... it can be enough for the 970?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

That is really only a 500w PSU , will probably run a 970 , but that PSU SHOULD BE REPLACED as soon as you can.

Should i buy this one? I can't pay more than that if i want to get a new GPU too 🙁

I have that one right now its pretty good, and could handle a 390. I'm sure there's probably a better psu out there for the price but I think it would fit your needs.

 

[robinwing14]

And there is a better one haha

Sorry guys but due to problems with the customhouse in my country i can't buy things from the exterior, well.. i can, but the money that i have to pay when it enters the country is to high.

That's why i'm posting newegg pages, to guide you guys.

So my 3 solutions are these ones:
