Hi folks! What PSU should I buy in order to make this work?

It depends on how may you want to run. I run one 850 Watt Platinum rated PSU per 2 miners. Just make sure that the Amps advertised on the PSU meet the requirement of the miner.

I personally use an EVGA 500B, but a 500M would also work, and come with the convenience of modularity.

I would buy at minimum at 550 gold rated psu.. If you plan on buying more that one then get a 850 gold now and you will be ready for another .. I use ocz 850 gold. Works on 2 s1, 2 s3 or one C1 liquid cooled.

I've used a 700 watt power supply, for a year. Only because I had one laying around.

I suggest you buy a converter which supports power at least 3 times larger than what you really need, this will make you less trouble. Thus for your PS, 500W seems good enough.

Yes. A good quality 800w power supply would be enough. Just make sure your psu delivers at least 70A on the 12V rail.

This is not a good psu. Buy http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JEJZ1N4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yes this should work for you. Be aware of how many and what type of connectors you may need for your hardware. Otherwise this PSU has worked with no issue since I purchased it.

It sounds like you are trying to build a miner, or a HTPC. If it is a miner, it should be more than enough power. I've seen specs of mining builds with as little as 250W PSUs. However, if you are building a media server, you might want to push up the wattage to at least 550, just to be safe on the power output. On the outside, if this is a gaming machine, you might be on the low side of adequate. But, it would work. This PSU was out-of-the-box compatible with a 3rd Gen Ivy Bridge Intel processor which, at the time of my build, was what was available for my price range. So, it may work well with a Haswell or later, but I am unable to guarantee it. Hope that helps!

Yes, it recommends a minimum system PSU of 500W. 600W will be fine as long as you are using this as a single card (not SLI). Do yourself a favor and get a good PSU from a reputable brand (e.g. Seasonic). Don't skimp on the quality of the PSU to save a couple bucks.

Would think this power supply should do the trick. My system is close to the one you describe and it does fine. Will let you know there is an info message about the fan on the power supply not running at low power moments but will kick in if the unit needs more power.

I would recommend this PSU calculator... http://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator

Yeah! If you use a Intel processor it will work. I'm using this PSU with an R9 280 and an Intel Core i5. You can simulate the power consumption of your computer on http://www.coolermaster.outervision.com/ It is very helpfull.

Hey Ken, The 860w will work great. You can get away with a 650w or better if you choose. (running one card)

Should work with good power supply, but I newer try. Ask to Gigabyte support team.

I looked up that build and I don't know that the power supply is beefy enough, 250 or 300w is the size I found for it. 400w is the minimum for this card I believe. (mine is 450w and I have had no issues with the card at all.) I can't recommend it for you on that computer, because it would likely cause issues for you. Sorry. :/

Yes, the CPU really has nothing to do much with buying a PSU. The main thing you need to check more so than your CPU is your motherboard, if it requires a 24 pin + 4 pin connectors or a 24 + 8 pin connectors. Either configuration should work with this PSU. If I could recommend another PSU to you, I think you should go for a Corsair CX model such as the CX600. I've owned this particular Thermaltake PSU in the past and it had a brain rattling, extremely annoying noisy fan. It also overheated on me a couple times. Don't go budget on your PSU.

Should work fine, card is fairly small and does not need more than like a 450w ps.

I'm running two of these on an 850W PSU, so really anything above 350W should be fine, but you might be pushing it at 350W

This would definitely work and would be a considerable step up. This is also a modular psu so you can pick and choose only the cables you actually need for your setup.
