Is my power supply compatible with these components?

[shaggydoo93]

GPU: MSI Radeon R9 270X
CPU: AMD Phenom X4 9750
RAM: 8 GB Dual-Channel DDR2
Motherboard: HP 3029h (XU1 Proccesor)

And the power supply I'm looking to buy is
Corsair CX Series 600 Watt ATX/EPS.

The link is http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Modular-Bronze-ATX12V-EPS12V/dp/B00ALYOPSS/ref=sr_1_54?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1420566069&sr=1-54&keywords=corsair+600+watt#Ask

This will be my first time opening up my computer. I have to install the listed GPU that I got for Christmas, and I have to upgrade my PSU first. I appreciate any help, this forum is a great community.

I answered something similar and please read last answers i posted there

You can calculate your power consumption for free in online calculators
Do little math and check your psus output chart and figure this out by yourself
And don't forget to thank ;-)

Hey watt is not what matters most
Ampear matters most
First calculate your power consumption using this website
http://powersupplycalculator.netAnyway Let's do simple math
If calculator says 400w(I'm not sure,it should be around 360w with your components as i guess)
Since most parts use 12v
400w/12v = 33.3 ampear
So you need a psu which can give more than 35 ampear in 12v rail
Buy branded 500w psu which have 2 six pin connectors
And always check graph in psu
If it have 35+A in +12v you are safe
And if it have graph like output +12"1=22A
+12"2=25A
It doesn't mean total amperage is 47!
It's not working like that
There is total output in watts printed there
Always check 12v total output
If it is 440w
It means 440/12=36A
Like that do little math before selecting psu
And it should have two six pin connectors
Don't use molek to six pin connectors in psus until you check graph i told above
If it doesn't have 2 six.pins it means it's not capable to.give away.that much power
Most of times those psus only have about 25A ampear output
That's why they only give one 6pin connector
So if.you used.connectors and try.to power up pc
It may blast your psu because it isn't capable of supply 33A
I witnessed such case yesterday

Sample of psu chart

In.that example it seems to 20+28= 48A in total
But look at the watts printed below
It says 480w
Which means 480W/12= 40A maximum
I think you got this calculation!
Good luck bro
Happy new year

i'll save you some time. here are 3 quality psu's at a good price that will run your system no problem. http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/compare/seasonic-power-supply-m12ii620bronze%2Cxfx-power-supply-p1550sxxb9%2Cxfx-power-supply-xfxts550w/

the seasonic is even modular and more watts than you need.

thought i would save you the time since i already know what i am looking for

anu's math is right. 150w for the gpu, about 150 more for the rest of the system. 300w/12v = 25 amps needed. to stay in safe operating range, ~32 amps is recommended (for 80% usage) 500 watts would easily do this but the quality 500w psu's cost more than the ones i chose so why not get the little extra power for any future upgrade. won't hurt and it would be cheaper as well.
