PSU:Seasonic S12II-620 Bronze 620W
GPU:Gigabyte Radeon R9 380 G1 990MHZ
Case:Cooler Master N200 mATX
Motherboard:GIGABYTE GA-H81M-S2PV mATX

Will it fit and is it compatible with my motherboard?
Thanks

It should be compatible with the motherboard.
The 620w Seasonic should be fine, max power for the GPU is less than 225w. It only has one 8 pin connector which can carry 150w plus the 75w of the PCI-E itself. I have no idea where these knuckleheads were getting 500w for the GPU, that number is the recommended minimum power supply for an entire system that includes this GPU.
InternalSurge, no way would I run this on a CX500, especially since you list an FX processor in your sig. An FX processor and this GPU alone are around 315-325w. On a PSU that is of lower quality and only puts out 356w when new is asking for at least a fried PSU.

Your PSU will psychically be able to power the card without the rest of the system. The card its self requires 500W at 100% witch will crash your system to a upgrade to a 750W or more is recommended.

Wait, so you're saying a 500w PSU will not handle a R9 380? :( I'm planning on getting that card with a Corsair CX500m. Nice pic btw.

You can so Use One These Websites To Calculate Your PSU For All Your System

Sappire Nitro R9 380 4GB Thermal Design Power is 190 W and Suggested 500 w minimum

and it depends on your SPU Model for example if you have Haswell Refresh Model (Non -K Series ) you Will need 520 W . so you will go with 620 wat with the other components .

if your going to over clock you will need 620-650 W , The power supply is giving you more space for over clocking your Cpu & Gpu .


850 w for crossfire

3-MSI USA PSU Calculator

In this case you will know How much power you will need even if your going to over clock
