I'm upgrading my PC and I'm buying a new graphics card so I can finally for the first time in my life play high end games on high to ultra graphics and I don't know how much wattage it needs. I kind of want to have to wiggle room for overclocking in the future.

Processor: Intel Core i5-3340 CPU @ 3.10Ghz
Motherboard: Dell 084J0R 004
New Graphics card: Sapphire Radeon R9 280X 3GB GDDR5 DVI-I/DVI-D/HDMI/DP Dual-X OC Version (UEFI) PCI-Express Graphics Card 11221-00-20G
RAM: DDR3 12GB
Hard Drive: All I know is that its 1TB
 
i would recommend a 600W PSU form antec/seasonic/XFX .550W would be a bit too close for my preference but it would run it fine.

If you want to overlock /do a crossfire (if your motherboard can handle it) i would recommend a min. 750/850W
 

How do you put a promo code in? Also are you sure this will work well with my build? I don't want to get one with wrong wattage or different wires or something
 


that PSU is a decent one. I think you will have an option while/just before paying to add some promo code
