Gaming Rig @ 65K

[rijinpk1]

what if you use a 800W for it ?? i mean to be on safer side ? or that could be dangerous too ?

every psu has an efficiency curve. they tend to exhibit high efficiency at typically around 60-75% of its rated capacity. lower the load, lower is the efficiency.at maximum load again the efficiency decreases. for your case stick to the suggested one . there is no harm in getting higher wattage psu though.

for hdd, opt for wd blue or black. and for cabinet ,get antec gx700. tesseract does not seems to be a good match for r9 290

Leave reviews. Am personally using the same card with 620 unit. No issues so far

hmm, i did check various benchmark as well, i high loads the 290 consumed around 480W. hope that leaves more than enough for the rest

That's most likely with the whole rig, but then 480 W seems a bit low. Anyways, post the link.

this is done with Intel Core i7-4960X overclocked at 4.2GHz.

My bad.. Thats was the whole system power consumption value.... not just 290, sorry for the confusion.. thanks for the charts rijinpk1

Alas you see what you want to believe..

thats too much for R9 290 that may result to more heat
should i get the GTX 770 ???

290 and 770 cost the same and 290 is much much faster than 770. And the heat is nothing unmanageable. Keep proper cable management, proper air flow and you'll be good.

AnandTech Portal | Sapphire Radeon R9 290 Tri-X OC Review: Our First Custom Cooled 290
see if you want performance or not.. gtx 770 is almost close to 290 in price but the performance is much higher, of-course at an additional cost of power draw.

well the GtX 770 costs 26000 m.snapdeal.com/product/zotac-gtx-770-graphic-card/1436354
and R9 290 costs about 32000

And then there is this one too

But guys browse through the benchmarks the Sapphire card is almost 1.5 to 2x the performance of GTX 770 as a matter of fact it competes GTX 780, so R9 is the choice for performance & not to mention that as resolution goes higher the difference is more pronounced.

As far as the thermal design considerations are there I believe that the Sapphire card is quiet capable of remaining cool enough, so R9 is the smarter choice
