I got a r9 290x and was thinking about heavily overclocking it. I used some PSU calculators, and if I wanted my CPU voltage to be around 1.4V (FX) with the GPU power limit at 120%, they said I needed at least 850 watts. I don’t have the budget for something that big. My current system has a 600 watt rating. Will this work?

Sure, I can provide that. Currently, our specifications are limited to the R9 290x.

600w should work adequately for an R9 290x.
