Antec Earthwatts 430W enough for an R7 260x?

[skaughtzer]

Rig:

Antec Earthwatts (green) 430W Bronze
1x A8-7670K
1x Sapphire Radeon R7 260X
2x 4GB G.Skill Ares 2133mhz DDR3
2x USB 2.0 devices (Xbox 360 wireless controller receiver, wireless adapter)
1x SSD
1x 7.2k SATA HDD
1x HT Omega Claro Sound Card
1x 80mm fan
1x 120mm fan

The online PSU calculators say the peak load wattage of that setup is 392W. My current PSU should be able to handle the R7 260x in that rig, correct (it comes with one 6-pin PCI-E connector)? The Earthwatts PSU claim "continuous power", and I have been buying Antec power supplies without issue for the past 15 years, so I am inclined to believe it will be just fine.

(Edit: unless I'm mistaken, the 12V1 provides 17A, and 12V2 provides 16A)

Specs suggest a 500 watt power supply, so a 430 watt PSU, even from Antec, is going to be borderline. I'd probably go ahead and upgrade to a 550 watt unit.

The 430 Green can output up to 25A on its 12V rails for a combined maximum total of 410W. Should easily be more than enough.

You have an A8 and the 260X? And the 260X only needs one 6pin PCIe plug? You'll be fine.

95 Watt CPU
115 watt GPU
60 or less for the rest.
270 Watts or so for the PC under load.
The Earthwatts were decent power supplies I would use it and not stress over it.
