THIS psu can handle a pc with i7 4790k, 16gb ram, gigabyte z97x,? I bought a corsair cx600 psu and it could not power up with this config.

It might be due to your ram sticks. Update your bios and you should be good to go :)

The 600w PSU that you had before was likely defective. Unless you failed to mention an SLI or Crossfire setup with 2 or more VERY high end cards, there is no reason the 600w should not have powered that setup. My 750w is currently powering a 4770k @ 4.6 Ghz and a 780ti that is overclocked.Full Specs:i7 4770k @ 4.6GhzMSI GTX 780ti overclockedMSI Z87 Gaming ITX Motherboard16GB Crucial Ballistix Low Profile RAM2x 500GB Samsung 840 EVO SSDCorsair H100i Water CoolerCorsair Obsidian 250D CaseCorsair CS 750w PSU

750W should handle that configuration and a set of SLI video cards with no problem. Your 600W should have boot up your current build as well. If you had some power (lights/fans but not boot or post) I'd suspect a mistake in the build process or other component (ram placement, power connection to MB or even bad seating of CPU). I've had to "re-build" a time or two when I was going faster than I should have. You can look up the "paperclip" method to test that your PSU works (or you can buy the PSU tester). Paper clip method helped me eliminate the PSU as the problem which turned out to be Ram. 750W should handle that configuration and a set of SLI video cards with no problem.

I seriously doubt you are using anywhere near your power supplies rated maximum. I have a 1000 watt PS connect to this UPS. Normally, it draws less then 300 watts. Even gaming, I've rarely seen it over 500.

No, it won't be able to power up your system, it's very inefficient and quality in general is not so great, I would only use it for very cheap setup where noise level is not a concern and your just trying to find the cheapest possible psu that will last for your needs, I have this psu on my uncles pc and with no graphics card, pentium 4 630 CPU, 1 DVD drive, 1 hdd and the fan is pretty loud, I don't know if that's from the efficiency being so bad and or the quality of the psu in general is just not good, it's been powering his setup for like a year but then again his pc doesn't consume much power on the first place

Sure, I run it on a 600watt no problem, it doen't support pci power, just the pci express conection. Not the best for gaming, decent for designing

in theory yes. in reality, probably not. you'll burn out the psu quicker. Plus we don't know what mobo or psu brand (and their rating), and overclocking you might be doing. The thing is you don't want to run near full capacity of the psu (shorten lifespan) if you runing amd x6, 8gb ram, regular mobo, dvd/cdrw combo drive, 2 7200 rpm hard drive, you're about 380 w (estimate). Ultimately its up to you. Safe bet is to get different psu.

You should be OK. I just built a steam machine with a 430w PSU and I'm running this card just fine!

Hi,the right questions is, can a 300w power supply handle this motherboard?,the answer is yes,but you need to take into account,that your are going to be very limited if you want to install high consumption devices like graphic cards or 8 cores processors,i suggest to use a more powerfull PSU,at least 500 Watts for better performance.

It looks like it would fit, no problem. However, I can't find any information on the powersupply on the PC. It could be too weak to support this card, recommended PSU should be ~600W. If you open the case you can read it on the powersuply you have. Also, doublecheck if the size looks to fit, I don't know the size in inches, but you can simple google that or visit Gigabyte's website.

Depending on the requirements of your system, this may be too much or too little (or just right) for you. I have a Seasonic M12II 620 BRONZE ; SS-620GM 80Plus Power Supply (copy and pasted right from Amazon, so you can search the exact item). My PC runs three hard drives (RAID 1 boot + a data drive) and a GEForce GTX 660ti video card (that's if for the power hogs of the system) and the PS I bought is perfect for the load.

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.

That should be able to handle it but to be on the safe side you may want to get this psu( it's also modular) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-Series-Platinum-CP-9020044-UK-Warranty/dp/B00AO0YRMI/ref=sr_1_8?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1388328605&sr=1-8&keywords=corsair+psu

Here's the power specs for this unit, with 744W available over the +12V supply, not to exceed the unit's max when combined with the other supplies.http://www.corsair.com/en-us/cx-series-cx750m-modular-atx-power-supply-750-watt-80-plus-bronze-certified-modular-psu

If it works with your motherboard, I recommend it for its conservative ratings and stable outputs. See [H]ardOCP's PSU reviews on Seasonic. Good through testing there and Seasonic X series do very well.Powers my i7 to 4.5 GHz with 32 GB of RAM and two gtx 580 over clocked SLI cards all watercooled.

This would be a great card but you might want to go to a power supply calculator to see if you psu can handle this card and everything else you have.

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).

Simple answer. Yes. I have a new computer with this PSU and that gen. Of cpu
