Can a cmx 500w corsair psu run the r9 280x

[Joshharris1999]

Will my psu listed in the title be able to run a 280x, i have a i5 4430 an 85w cpu and 1 dim of 8gb corsair vengeance blue 1600mzh with a 1tb WD blue hard drive, hope ive been specific enough with the most power using parts thanks for any replies .

Yep.

I would say to upgrade just to be safe. If the GPU is running under full load it might cause problems. I would say to go with a 750 watt which will be enough for any single gpu on the market

After looking at the requirements which for some reason i didnt think to do before posting this, I will get a new psu, thank you for the reply

It will work without issue, you are wasting money.

Get a new power supply to be safe. 500 watts would be cutting it close when you are putting your system under load....

It's not anywhere near cutting it close.

Both total system power consumption, including wasted PSU power (10%-ish).
