Will the Be Quiet Efficient Power BQT F1 600W ok/compatible to power a ASUS MAXIMUS VI HERO motherboard / i7 4770K cpu and what GPU would you recommend within a 200€ budget to play bf3/Arma3 High to Ultra settings? I buy from this website WWW..ALTERNATE..BE

as long as the power supply has one rail on the 12v line it should be fine.
for the money right now the 7850/7950 cards are your best performance card for the build funds.

Thank u for the reply! Honestly I don't know anything about powersupplies..

power supply have three main power outputs. 12v/3.3v/5.v the 3.3 and 5v you dont have to look at. it the 12v line that used by the cpu and gpu.
when i talked about split rail i was talking about vendor taking the 12v 600w and splitting it into two 300w rails or more. on these units one rail may not hold up a new gpu. most newer power supply use one rail system. with power supply also have to look at the amps rating of the 12v line to see if the vendor not fugging the numbers of there unit.
amps*12v=watts. so if the vendor rated this unit 12v line near 580w the amps rating should be 43 amp. one thing if you add up the cpu and gpu max wattage useage and it close to the max of the 12v rail then bump up to the next size.

Written on unit 12V1 - 12V2 - 12V3 - 12V4 under that 4 times 18A and under that 45A again under that 540W.. Sorry for bothering :/

psu's are standard, if you are pairing a board and a psu that are of similar age, it should be ok. Only very very old psu's (or board) will be incompatible

beloved patriot your power supply has 4 rails broken up to 18amps each. not a good unit for a gaming rig.
