[RmAouad]

Hi everibody! Recently i bougth a xfx r9 280 (r9 280a tdfc). but my question is, will my psu be enough for my system with the r9 280??

btw, i would like to do some overclock to gpu. Upgrade my mother board, cpu, more ram too, but everything in its time.
with that in mind, what psu's wattage, brand, certification recomend me?? a 600-650w 80plus bronce psu will be enough??

My system:

CPU: intel core i3 530
RAM: 4gb 1333 Corsair (2x2gb)
MOBO: Gigabyte H55M-UD2H
PSU: 450W Thermaltake W0329RU
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64

650-700 watts should be enough. And get more ram if you're gonna use it for gaming get more ram

I believe 450W won't cut it. Here's a chart for recommend PSU capacities based on GPUs:

As far as your provided links, I would go with either the Corsair or EVGA one (mostly the Corsair PSU as it has many many more product recommendations)
If you're open to suggestions I'd recommend this new PSU by Cooler Master that is top notch in quality & semi modular (650W):

I personally don't like rebates but as far as quality goes, XFX uses the same hardware as seasonic (a very solid & high quality brand) & corsair is a very reputable brand, although their low end CX series can be a little iffy on the 12V rail for some people. But as an example, this 550W by XFX is $48 but technically $60 if you want it from Amazon and is a solid PSU, but I'm sure there are other alternative choices as well, this is the awesomeness of having choices when build a pc

on this link check the one you could afford and post back your choice http://computacion.mercadolibre.com.co/fuente-de-poder-atx-600w

 

[RmAouad]

these multiple choices makes me crazy jajajajaja im too confused!! which one do you recomend me for a 70$ budget for amazon???

 

[scout_03]

i would go for the corsair .

 

[Fidgetmaster]

Run it with the you're thermaltake and find out... bet you can boot up/light load just fine... now what it will do under heavy load who knows haha.

 

[RmAouad]

Man thats just what im afraid jajajaja if i damage that vga, just kill miself!
But seriusly, what happen if my psu un not enough for heavy load?

 

[Suztera]

Your psu will cut the power. You can damage your components that way if your psu doesn't have good quality protection.

A good 450w is enough, but im not sure about them Thermaltakes
