Hi everyone,
I'm getting a new GPU, r9 280, and I was wondering if I need more wattage?
Current system spec:
CPU - amd fx8350 (8 cores) black edition
MOBO - asrock extreme 3
PSU -cooler master, 600w
GPU - nvidia gtx 650ti (don't have boost, oops)
RAM - 8gb Kingston hyperx beast (going to get 16gb soon)
HDD- seagate 1tb 7200rpm
