Will a corsair cx750m psu be enough for this card? I will also be running a fx 6300 as well as one hdd and an ssd.

The R9 280X will pull around 225 Watts at full blast. You should be ok with the rest of your hardware and a 750 Watt power supply.

750 Watt should be plenty!!! You may have a bad power supply and it may need to be replaced that happened to be before. I have an tx 850 corsair power supply and I run 2 of the r9 290x crossfire, 2 ssd, 3 hard drives, i5 2500k oc 4.7 ghz, sound card and a ton of other stuff. Hope this helps

Yes, the CPU really has nothing to do much with buying a PSU. The main thing you need to check more so than your CPU is your motherboard, if it requires a 24 pin + 4 pin connectors or a 24 + 8 pin connectors. Either configuration should work with this PSU. If I could recommend another PSU to you, I think you should go for a Corsair CX model such as the CX600. I've owned this particular Thermaltake PSU in the past and it had a brain rattling, extremely annoying noisy fan. It also overheated on me a couple times. Don't go budget on your PSU.

The power needed for the CPU should also be considered. I read somewhere that MSI recommended 500 watts for a system with 1 card. Since you are overclocking the CPU?, and the GPU?, I would recommend a 850 watt PSU at a minimum just to be safe and avoid power issues. Have fun!

You may not even need a bigger power supply. It would be worth it to try without changing your power supply first. I'm running an i7 3930k, 32 gb ram, and two of these cards on only a 750 watt... Depending on the wattage if your stock power supply you should be okay!

I run mine with the FX-6300 and Gigabyte MB as well. It should work, it's not ultra fast stock.

No, the minimum PS requirement is 750W. XFX actually recommends their 850W PSU. Even though it's ambiguous as to what kind of PSU they're referring to, you're hard pressed these days to find anything less than 80%+ effecient. Nominal consumption for this card is between 150-200W, even at 100% efficiency, that's not much left for your cpu and other components, depending on what you have.

Yes. It should be fine. You have a PCI express X 16 slot and unless you've beaten the crap out of the computer or you already have a bunch of attachments your PSU should still have enough juice to power it?

I used a 650 W PSU, but it depends on your mobo/cpu requirements. I referred to the Puget Systems site for analysis and guidance. You are likely OK - I built in some headroom for expansion later.

The recommended system specs for this card is a 750 watt power supply. An 850 will do fine.

ud better use a power supply more than 800w. I use a corsair 1000w supply for 4790k and this card.

It depends on what else you are running. I have a Intel 3770k, 2 SSDs and a HDD and it runs fine with a 650 watt power supply.

The psu is fine for any low power processor that only uses a 4 pin 12v atx power connector. it also doesn't have any 6 pin pci connectors. as far as reliability, i wouldn't trust it for more than a few weeks. Go with a corsair CX500 or CX600 for a basic computer.

Hello Pizurro, AMD and XFX website recommends 600w PSU, but depending on the cards, HDD and other components on your RIG a 500w is fair enough. For Crossfire you'll definitively need a 750w.

You will need about 150 watts of power and a spare 6-pin PCIe power connector on your PSU. It looks like you're using a Corsair 80+ 430 watt PSU, so it should cover these.It all depends what other components you have in your system. It looks like you could with something like an Intel Core i3 or an AMD FX-4300, with a fair amount of buffer.A good place to get an estimate of how much power your PC needs would be PC Part Picker (just google it).

You should be able to run it just fine with a 600W PSU. If you are going to upgrade in the future, say crossfire, then you should look into upgrading to a 750W or 800W PSU.

I assume you mean power supply wattage. Recommended is 500 watts. If you are ever going to crossfire you you probably want at least 650. I have a corsair 500 watt psu with an overclocked fx 6300 and this card ocd to 1050 core and 1450 memory. Also have 1 tb hdd, blu-ray, card reader, and 8 gb 2133 ram. Everything runs great!
