Will a r9 290x work with a corsair cx600m?

[BeatboxingFTW]

Hello i wanted to know if a r9 290x would work with a corsair cx600m if not will it hold for a second msi r9 270x? My specs:
Amd a10-7850k oc @ 4.5ghz, 4gb ram 1600mhz, msi r9 270x, gigabyte ga f2a88xds2. Thanks

Uhh I would upgrade your cpu... It would be a severe bottleneck for your system if you go to a 290x.

But to answer your question, yes you should be fine with the cx600. Crossfiring another 270x would probably consume more power.

Pls dont even say anything about bottleneck if there were actually some there will be about 3fps hit so pls dont

100W short for an R9 270x CF and 50W short for the R9 290x.

You should be fine with a single R9 290x, though.

LOL are you serious right now? Probably depends on what games you are playing, but in cpu intensive games you would see a sizeable drop on fps. Sorry to burst your bubble but the A10-7850k is actually a pretty weak cpu.


And heres benchmarks to back up my claim: http://www.extremetech.com/gaming/177677-dual-graphics-dud-intel-clobbers-amds-apus-in-budget-gaming/2

This test was done with a Amd R7 260x. You see a difference of 9 fps on metro last light. With a 290x you will see a much bigger difference.

The CX600m will work, but you won't have much headroom left with that 300W gfx card. And yes, there will be noticeable CPU bottle neck in CPU limited games and on busy 64 player servers with the APU. Not a deal breaker, but enough that you would end up getting the same gaming results with a less expensive card. R9-280/280X
OC the APU as much as you can to help.

Im not trying to make you feel bad here, but you really should upgrade your cpu before you upgrade you gpu. You will see a larger bump in performance.

 

[ImDaBaron]

I would get a better power supply and CPU for sure

Typo? R9-270?

Dude i know that my cpu is SUPER weak but not to the point of a 1.5ghz intel core i3 for example i knew that that intel u are showing is way better but i couldnt afford it at the time so pls i know it will bottleneck but it wouldnt be severe thats what im saying plus i problably will buy a amd athlon 860k i think that the name which is the fastest cpu for fm2+ because i dont wanna buy a new motherboard

 

[ImDaBaron]

Uh the 860K is the A10 7850K without the integrated graphics. You have no upgrade option for your motherboard socket.

+1^
Same CPU
But you are fine to choose the R9-290X if you don't mind spending more money that necessary. It will perform about the same as an overclocked R9-280 for you with the APU.

Well alright thanks for the help but keep in mind my pc build is somewhat complete since i still need 8gb of ram and i slowly upgrade my pc until i feel is good enough since i started without a gpu and now im with a r9 270x maybe one day ill go to am3+ and maybe get 29 gtx titans (lol not possible)
