Fx6300, R9 285, Evga 500W are compatible power options.
Hi guys
I have an fx6300 and an evga 500W PSU already installed.
I don’t have the graphics card yet, but I have a good deal of R9 285 2GB.
Current setup so far:
Fx 6300
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
8GB DDR3 1866 RAM
Asus M5A97 R2 motherboard
Evga White 500W
Seagate 500GB 7200 RPM
Graphics card not yet chosen.
My question is:
Can this PSU support all of them?
If yes, how much I should upgrade for my fx6300 or stick with the original clocks?
Thanks a lot in advance.
The 500W model isn't sufficient for the R9-285, so I wouldn't upgrade it. The question asks about the specific Evga 500W option.
I found this on Amazon. It seems like a decent option, though it's quite basic. It works, but not outstanding. It should be fine, but it won't stand out much for your FX-6300 and R9-285 setup. Avoid trying to modify it.
Can the FX 6300 stock clock handle gaming tasks without needing a boost?
The stock clock of the FX 6300 should work for gaming, though overclocking might be beneficial in some cases.
