My pc configuration is

Processor - Intel Core i-5 2320k 3.0 ghz
Motherboard - Gigagabyte H61M - S2PV
Ram - 8 gb
HDD - 2 TB sata Western Digital
PSU - Gigabyte E570 Watt

I want to buy a new graphics card Sapphire Nitro R9 390 8gb . Will this PSU mentioned above support this graphics card ?
plz reply me asap.
 
This is the incorrect place for the question but anyway, you will be fine with that PSU just forget big overclocks or you will be pushing it..
 
so gigabyte 570 watt psu not enough for sapphire nitro r9 390 ?


It's fine for that setup, even typical overclocking. It does have less output over the 12v rails as some newer PSUs in the same general category, but it's fine for your intended use.
 
Just do not OC. Sure you could get away with a mild one, but why push it. If you want to OC grab a better PSU.

There is no harm in overclocking. His PSU will handle it adequately. And even if he had a PSU low in quality/wattage that couldn't, when he pushes too faer the system will shit down or reboot. He'll know his limit.

People tend to grossly over recommend just what is needed for a PSU. His PSU is fine for that setup.
 
I dam sure would get a new one.....Calling for a higher wattage supply (Max Combined Wattage 460W) for use with a a R9 390 video actually seems practical to me.
