Sure, for your setup with the xfx R9 390 and 6600k (targeting 3.8 GHz) I can suggest a suitable PSU.
Wow, take a look at this. It seems the item is currently out of stock, but it might be back soon—grab it if you can. This isn't too bad either, but

This power supply unit is an excellent choice, delivering 99.998% efficiency on the 12V rail. It features a single 48AMP 12V rail capable of handling most applications. I've used it with several computers and found it to be outstanding. The voltage tolerances are accurate and consistently reliable, offering ample protection and high-quality components. It operates quietly, has a semi-modular design, and comes in a sleek matte black finish. The large 140mm fan intake at the bottom and the substantial exhaust port on the back help manage heat effectively. Priced at just 80 dollars, it offers exceptional value.
If you're interested, you might also consider the ANTEC HCGM 750W model. This unit is similar to the previous one but optimized for heavy-duty 12V rails. It includes two dedicated 40A 12V rails instead of a single high-amp rail, which reduces the risk of surges and damage from large loads. This configuration ensures longer lifespan, especially with modern advancements in CPU/GPU microarchitecture that improve energy distribution and control. The PSU list I suggest reviewing is available for your reference.
Hey everyone, I’m planning to use the xfx R9 390 and the 6600k, aiming for a 3.8 ghz overclock. Could you suggest a suitable PSU for this setup? I also have an i7 6700K coming in later, and I was hoping to get a decent PSU to go with it. I always think it’s important to choose a high-quality power supply since a bad one can cause major issues. While it might cost a bit more upfront, good quality usually lasts longer—sometimes even a decade depending on conditions.
I’ve done some research online and found a few options. One link from Newegg looks promising: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as..._-Products. There’s also a Be Quiet product page here: http://www.bequiet.com/en/powersupply/525.
Just a note, the PSU is built in Germany and we all know German-made parts are top-notch.

Hello everyone, I’m planning to use an xfx r9 390 with a 6600k (intending to boost it to 3.8 ghz) and would appreciate your advice on the best PSU for this configuration. I also have an i7 6700K CPU coming soon, which has led me to secure a decent PSU to pair with it. I always think that choosing a high-quality PSU is crucial—otherwise, the system will face serious issues. While it might cost a bit more upfront, investing in good quality can pay off over time, potentially lasting for several years depending on usage and conditions.
For my current setup, which includes the i7 6700K, I’ve researched extensively online to confirm its performance is top-notch. Of course, the price varies based on your location—whether you’re in the USA or UK, or anywhere else. Here are a couple of links that might help:

Additionally, this PSU is built in Germany and is known for its reliability. It seems to support SLI/Crossfire setups well, offering four separate 12V rails. This means if a card requires a lot of power, you can allocate it efficiently across the rails. For example, if your card needs 30 amps but the rails only provide 22 amps, you’d have to use two rails to compensate, which could result in a loss of efficiency.
In short, this PSU is solid but may not be ideal for extremely high-power GPUs like the R390, which can draw up to 43 amps. Even with dual rails, it might not meet the demands, especially if you plan to overclock or account for unexpected power spikes. Adding a 10-20% buffer is always wise for such scenarios.
I discovered a useful PSU calculator site. You just enter your computer components and it suggests a suitable PSU or at least one that functions properly. However, I wouldn't buy something that only works briefly; I need a unit capable of handling heavier power in the future. It should also reduce stress on the PSU by providing more than just the required voltage. Check it out here >>>

avoid multi-rail PSUs, it's simple to reach full capacity on a single rail
