Power consumption for 4690k/4790/4790K

Hey guys, I'm wondering if my Superflower leadex 600W is sufficient for any of these 3 CPUs? currently having a 280X and 3 HDDs and 1SSD in my rig

Never heard of that PSU brand and I won't recommend it. Go with something popular, Corsair, EVGA, XFX, even Coolermaster.

The CPU is not the problem - the 280X can get up to 400W - for that you want an 800-1000W supply.

What?!? 800-1000w on a single 280x?

If the psu is of good quality, 500w will suffice. 600w give you quite a bit headroom.

I'm personally with a bequiet dark power p10 500w and it handles my gtx 680 and I7 4790k well, even overclocked.

Save yourself some headaches and get a good 600W psu

superflower is a good psu brand (what ive read and heard) 600w should be enough, 280x max peak is ~250-300w and I5-4xxx peaks at ~150w MAX when OC'd
