AMD Fx 8320 on this PSU

[Mike Chapman]

Hello, i was just wondering if this would work
I want to upgrade my pc to a AMD FX 8320 but im not sure if my PSU is up to it
My specs are
CPU: AMD FX 6300
Mobo: Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3
GPU: R9 270X 2 gb
PSU: CX600 Bronze Edition

there is plenty of power for that cpu. the cx series is only an average psu but it has plenty enough power for an 8320 and a 270x. you can oc the cpu and not see any issues.

You have more than enough power to run a 8350 with your specs , enjoy your upgrade.

I wouldn't overclock with a CX SERIES PSU they have lower grade capacitors.

Okay, but i can easily overclock with no issues using an AMD FX 6300

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Yes with the 6300 should be fine.

any good budget power supplies you would recommend?

 

[Math Geek]

Antec TruePower Classic 550W made by SEASONIC , VERY GOOD QUALITY.

Question is, would i be able to OC a 8350 on it?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

If you want to do some overclocking the TRUE POWER CLASSIC 550w or the 650w will suffice , but I always go higher at $49.99 that 650W would be my choice.

yah it never hurts to have a little extra. overclocking does not add as much to it as folks seem to think. it's not going to take a 125w cpu to 400w or something crazy like this.550w already leaves osme headroom but the 650 for little bit more would make sure there is lots of extra
