hi guys i am new to pc gaming and as a lot of people i used to be a console gamer now i just got enough money to get a pc but i am afraid of something i bought a 600w cooler master power supply will it be enough for my system
motherboard : asus B85M-G
GPU : sapphire radeon dual-x r9 280
CPU : i5-4460
ram: hyper fury 8 gb of ddr3 ram
sdd : kingstone hyper x 2.5 "sata rev 3.0 (6gbs)
hard drive : 1 TB seagate
my quistion is will my 600w power supply power everything without frying my system
please pardon my english ( it is not my first L )
Don't worry- You have more than enough power.
You have enough headroom to comfortably run 2 280s' with it.
A 600W is overkill and honestly you could've gotten a 430W. But this allows room to add more components later down the line and mean that the power supply won't work as hard (potentially run cooler / last longer)
600w is plenty, but some cooler master units are terrible in quality.
What unit is it?
Yep, make/model psu will help. 600w means bugger all. There is a vast difference between say a nice seasonic 600w unit and say a "insert no-name label' here unit. At a minimum you should have at least 30amps on the 12v rail that feeds the gpu.
Also, most units state - maximum power output on the label, this can be taken as what it can output before it catches fire. What you need to know is the continuous power output of the unit.
