Corsair hx520w 80+
SSD Crucial M500 250gb

Antec nine hundred two case

Thanks !

Power supply calculator shows 588 so I would seriously doubt it.

Hi youmed
I dont think your old psu although a good one will cut it
this would be a better choice

thanks guys! Ok so if i have to upgrade my psu, a good 650w will be enough for a possible future r9 290x crossfire? It's not in my plans now but i want it to be future proof.

I installed the card and tested several games like AC IV, Crysis 3, BF 4 for hours and i had no trouble. I think my psu is used at its limits but for the moment it will be fine, i maybe will upgrade to a 650w psu in the next months.
