    500w will run a 390

    Is that a blanket statement for all 500W PSUs? I can't find anyone else who'll recommend a 500W PSU for a 390.

    All quality ones yeah. I'm running a 290 off a 500w and the 390 doesn't consume as much power.

    Its never any harm having some overhead, 500w is about the minimum for a 390 but won't falter if its a good quality.

    Its all experienced guesswork on how much wattage you'll need which is why there's contradiction.

    If it'll give you piece of mind go for 600w, it won't have any negative effect like

    Just had a quick look at 2 PSU calculators. Both reckon that a 6400 with a 390 will pull about 400w, they add some onto that as well, so 500w is sound by them

    Fair enough. I was going for a 500W initially, but for the sake of a tenner I'd prefer to overspec than run at the limit.

    I'd probably go with 550w to be sure. I think 500w will run it fine but you'd be running closer than you ideally should be.

    This. Your PSU will be running louder and hotter too, shortening it's overall lifespan of the fan.

    So how's this build

    Gigabyte GA-B150--HD3P €80
    i5 6400 €170
    240gb crucial bx200 €60
    1gb hardrive €45
    Gigabyte r9 390 €322
    Evga 500w €50
    Corsair 100R €60
    Plus mindfactory delivery €30
    Windows key €20

    Don't forget RAM. Check that motherboard to see if it supports DDR4 or DDR3. IMO, find one that supports DDR4, as Intel say DDR3 damages the Skylake CPU's memory controller.
