Will my PSU be enough?

[Danik41]

Hi all!

I'm planning on buying some new components for my pc, everything will basically be like this:

Processor: AMD Fx 8320 3.50ghz

Graphics Card: Sapphire R9 280x Dual-x 3gb

Motherboard: Haven't decided yet, it's between Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P, Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 or maybe Asrock 970 Extreme4.

RAM: Kingston 4gb DDR3

Power Supply: Cooler Master Gx Lite 600W

So yeah, will my PSU handle everything fine? Or do I need to get the Gygabyte version of the graphics card? (I've heard it draws less power) Also I'm planning on overclocking the Fx 8320 to 4.0ghz so is that possible?

And one last question, which one between those 3 motherboards will be better to reach that overclock on the processor?

Thanks a lot!

So that means my 600w won't be enough even if I keep my cpu at stock speeds?

You PSU will do just fine but i just like Corsair PSU's better (personal preference) and since its a 750 Watt you can add another GPU (Crossfire) later on down the road if you want.

Get a quality power supply like a XFX , made by the best SEASONIC.

Thanks for clarifying, the thing is I already own the Coolermaster one I mentioned and I'm on a budget, so I only wanted to make sure it will handle everything.

Anyway, thanks a lot!
