Hi all
I might be getting the Sapphire R7 360, but not sure if it will work with my power supply, Here's the whole spec of my PC:
Mb: Asrock FM2A55M-VG3
CPU: A8-6600K
RAM: 6GB 1600Mhz (2gb 1600Mhz+4GBMhz)
HDD: SG 500GB 7200RPM
PSU: Thermal Master 500W 20 amps +12V 65% efficiency (TM-500-PSAP-I3)
OS: Windows 10 Pro x64

In their sapphire website is saying:
500 Watt Power Supply (Suggestion)

While in realhardtechx.com is saying 430w is required: http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page362.htm

POWER SUPPLY Website: http://menarate.com/en/all-categories/Power-supplies-385/Thermal-Master-500W-TM-500-PSAP-I3-88537

Thanks in advance! :)

Hello

I wouldn't trust that PSU with anything. It says it's 500w, but it will definitely not be able to be consistently be able to deliver that much power. It looks like one of them cheap 20£ PSUs. If you want to install that graphics card, you should strongly consider replacing the power supply that's at least 80 plus certified and around 500 watts or more
