[SOLVED] Is my psu gonna be enough for my system?

[johnnycheddar78]

So i got this r9 290x and i was planning on highly overclocking it. I tried out some psu calculators and if i was gonna have my cpu vcore on 1.4v (FX) and my gpu power limit set to 120% it said i needed at least 850watts. I dont have the money for a killawatt or anything like that. I have a 600 watt in my system right now. Will this be fine?

Can you tell me what your other system specs are? Right now we only have the R9 290x to go by.

600w should be fine for an R9 290x

I'd suggest replacing your PSU. See: https://outervision.com/b/YYplY5

That link above is _without_ overclocking your GPU/upping the power limit.
