can it do it

Can corsair vs650 power up r9 280x toxic edition i5 3570k one case fan and corsair h80i one hdd one dvd drive.

 

[envy14tpe]

Yes. Easily. I run a 2500k overclocked, 3 HDDs, 6 fans, and a slightly overclocked 280x; all on 650W.

Corsair VS series are the bottom line of corsair power supplies that aren't even 80+ certified. If you don't have that yet I recommend an XFX 550w Core Edition instead

 

[exilestar]

Isnt 550w too little? Ill overclock cpu

 

[Roxas_Boy]

Nah the 550w will be more than enough even with overclocks

 

[Roxas_Boy]

That XFX 550w Core Edition PSU I recommended is made by the best "Seasonic" with high quality components and capacitors while the VS650 is Corsair's lowest end PSU that isn't even 80+ certified and has budget components and capacitors

I would want peace of mind...hence why I wouldn't get a 550W for a 280x.

Do you own the PSU yet?

Yeah but you have a high end 650w PSU from the Corsair HX series, the XFX 550w PSU is considered high end as well and a high end 550w will easily beat an extremely low end 650w PSU. btw not really peace of mind, more like waste of power

 

[exilestar]

Yes,corsair vs650

 

[Roxas_Boy]

Highly recommend the XFX 550w Core Edition

 

[envy14tpe]

The PSU is owned. So the question is: Will 650W be enough for this system?

Yes.
