Psu for 1600x and r9 280x

[Jasper_1]

I already own an evo212 and look for a psu for the combo ryzen 1600x+gigabyte ab350 gaming3+ Gigabyte r9 280x with a slight oc plan. My aim is at around 3.8~4.0 ghz.
Thanks in advance.

cpu 95, gpu 250, consider 30% more for ocing (exaggerating), plus rest sys 50, max 500 draw, get 550 good quality units

Depends on your bottom line really but I never suggest budget PSU's, as in a way that is the most important part of the system.

First the wattage.

The 280x is going to pull 350W at full load. Pretty dang high.
The 1600x is going to pull about 175W at full load slightly more with an OC, should be under 200W.
The entire rest of the system is going to pull between 100-200W depending on how many drives you have. Keep in mind these are the high end values but you still want a buffer just in case they DO require full power.

Given your CPU and GPU, i'd say a 750W minimum for you.

Personally I don't like to recommend EVGA because I hate their products, but they make a darn good PSU. The lowest quality I can recommend is a EVGA Supernova G3.
If you want to go the high quality route, there's no PSU I have come across that matches the Seasonic Prime Titanium in performance. You can also go for the Gold version and save some money, but that one should fall somewhere between the EVGA G3 and the Seasonic Prime Titanium as far as performance goes.

I like the Prime Titanium because it is dead silent, comes with a 10 year warranty, and is sleek as hell and not to mention comes with absolutely fantastic cables (and more than you will ever need) and just has a really great premium product feel to it.

But yeah I guess if I had to.. i'd even put the EVGA in my system.

Below that in quality it get's a little risky.

If you want to be REALLY safe and get an extra buffer, an 850W would be fine too. More than that and it's really overkill unless you plan on doing CF/SLI ever. With 850W you can even do CF/SLI with cards that don't require massive amounts of power like ours (I have a 1080 Ti) do.

UPDATE: I thought those numbers looked funny so I checked again. The CPU will do about 90W at stock, max load.
Adjusting the numbers 650W min for a buffer, 550 ABSOLUTE MINIMUM and may not be enough always. 750W if you want to be REALLY safe. 850W if you ever plan on doing SLI.
