Question AMD RX 580 8GB okay with A68HM-E?

[KGbrts]

Motherboard: Asus A68HM-E
GPU : XFX RX 580 8GB 2304SP
PSU: 700 watts
I want to know if my motherboard is compatible with a GPU I am aiming for. In case the RX 580 is not compatible, feel free to recommend a graphics card that suits my motherboard better.

Motherboard compatibility isn't really a thing these days. The GPU question is what *exact* PSU you have, as "700 watts" doesn't say very much.

Is this your power supply? This is all that comes up for Intelligent 700W.

If so, you will definitely need a power supply. This is a fake 700W PSU. It's not even a 200W PSU. It's basically a 180W PSU, and a bad one at that. You can't buy real PSUs for the equivalent of $7 US.

I bought this from EasyPC, I guess they aren't legit despite the positive reviews I've read. How about Inplay Gear's True Rated GS550-ULTRA 550W 80Plus ATX Power Supply,? It's being sold from their flagship store. If not, I guess I'll go into some PC stores and diligently look there. Thank you by the way!

No, another basement-tier group-regulated PSU. Not a 550W PSU either. 80 Plus badge appears to be fake too; the 80 Plus people have no listings for this company in their database.

Problem is, you're not even in the same galaxy to run an RX 580 safely. You're talking a minimum of four times as much just to get a decent budget PSU; PSUs that aren't garbage aren't available for the equivalent of USD $20 in any country in the world.

This is probably the best tier list right now. Tier C would already be pushing it for any GPU that requires supplementary power; if something even to this low standard isn't an option, I'd forget the idea of an RX 580.
