i5 4440 r9 390 // 600w enough?

[Ethankid]

I have an i5 4440 and I plan on getting the r9 390 and I was wondering if 600w is enough power? With these new generation cards aiming to be more power efficient and such, I just wanted to know if I would be okay. I would also plan on getting a H100i. No overclocking though. Thank you.

yes it would work as long as it is a half decent power supply so not an unbranded one or anything like that. http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html that graphics card can draw a lot of power so it may be worth getting getting a better quality unit however if the unit is a seasonic or xfx it will be fine

If it's a decent 600 watt it's enough power.

I have an EVGA 600w powersupply if that counts as anything.

Not a good choice , poor quality.

Theoretically : NO

But if you have a very high quality 600 watt psu you should be fine .

EDIT : Now you have told us the psu its time to buy a GTX 970 instead .

He has a really poor one.

Do you guys have any recommendations for power supplies then?

SR-71 Blackbirds suggestion would be perfect for your build

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Yes it will made by SEASONIC , GOOD QUALITY.

If you get the GTX 970 you will not need to change power supplies and gaming performance will be very very similar at 1080P .
The only reasons to run an R9 390 is if you have a higher resolution monitor , or you just want a radeon
