Hi, I got my Corsair cx600m for about two years now, and I am planning to switch my GTX670 for a r9 290x at a very good price of 240 bucks in microcenter (it's refurbished), but I dont know if my psu will handle it.
My specs here:
Intel Core i5 2500 @ 3.30GHz water cooled with a H60
16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 804MHz
P8Z77-V mobo
GeForce GTX 670 2gb galaxy reference version
Seagate ST2000DM001-1CH164 (SATA)
119GB ADATA SP600 (SSD)
1 optical drive
2 normal fans and 4 led
and one strip of leds
Honestly I dont trust the PSU calculator, and I just wanted to hear the word from actual people
Thanks for the read.
 


Personally I would take SR-71 BlackBird's advice .
 


Now that you say it, I think I should really do. What do you recommend as a replacement? I was thinking in EVGA's 750w supernova, then sell my 670 to get the 290x
 
I was also considering just buying for 150 bucks more a 970, which makes less heat and consumes less energy. I am 100% sure it would work without a problem in my current PSU
