I've just bought an r9 390x, and I wondering is my Chieftec A 135 Series APS 650c 650W enough for that card?

My other components:
i5 4570
16 gb ddr3 1600 mhz ram
250 gb ssd
1tb WDC WD10EZRX-00L4HB0
1 tb Seagate ST1000DM003-1ER162
350 gb Seagate ST3320620AS

Chieftec are a predominantly Eastern European brand, and as such are usually avoided by most people as their name is not familiar. However, they actually share the same OEMs as much more famous names, such as Corsair.

So the brand isnt an issue itself. However, the APS series uses OEM units from Sirtec and are much lower quality than other Chieftec units.

I would strongly advise getting something of higher quality otherwise you risk damaging your new GPU.

Youre going to need a good 600+ unit for that card.

What country are you buying from and how much is your maximum budget?
 


My budget is really low at the moment, because my girlfriend and I planning a little travel in june. So you're saying my 80+ bronse psu will not enough to my card?

 



Very poor quality , you need a better quality PSU to run that card.
