Weirdly the cx600 seems to be the same price as the cx500 on Newegg. Before you buy a new PSU you should just unplug your graphics card and run your system on the integrated AMD board and see if it stops crashing. Your total system should only pull like 350W, but that usually means you want 500-600W PSU for leniency in upgrade (incase you upgrade to 450W system or something) and also because PSUs are most efficient at around the 50% mark XFX makes da bests PSU I got a 750W modular one for $25 because rebates are the best | ||

OP I mean, I don't keep a strict budget, but I have a very distinct idea of how much all of my mandatory expenses sap from my income. Ever since I've had a steady income I've had no troubles managing my bill/leisure expenses. Although, it's entirely possible that this is because in college I didn't have a job and multiple times made it through the school year with ~$500 for leisure. | ||

What it says on the box is not actually what you need The R9 270 pulls ~150W under peak conditions and usually idles 25W It says 500W minimum probably to be on the safe side after taking into consideration GPU load and the rest of your components. | ||

My "budgeting" is basically this check: "I have rent, utilities, and groceries taken care of, some money to save, and enough to blow on whatever I want." | ||

Yeah see my issue is that I lived at home and saved money from Junior year of HS until 2 years out of college and didn't pay for my own college education, and now live in a cheap as balls apartment making a decent check, so honestly I can make these splurge buys without ever worrying about running low on funds. That sounds kind of like a brag, but it can be alarming when I realize that I bought like plane tickets, models, fancy dinners, games, and all my groceries without ever looking at my balance. I'm probably fine spending what I do (as games/figures are really the only things I splurge on, I'm normally frugal most other times), but it can be worrying. | ||
