It needs 750W. Try this one, it's also better quality most likely: http://www.amazon.de/dp/B00KM821KC/?tag=pcp05-21

Make sure to use PcPartPicker.com to plan out your build always. Otherwise you will get ripped off by sites with higher prices. There is also de.pcpartpicker.com .

And I also suggest getting an i5-4460 if you are making a new computer. It has far more power and good upgradeability.

a quality 600w will be fine with the 8350 and 280x

the superflower 650w 80+gold psu is more than enough for it

if its a new build, go with an i5 4460-4690k instead of fx
if you want i3 performance, get an i3 instead

Thanks both of you.

A decent brand 650 Watt power supply will run what you need. I'm running a i7 4770k and a evga 980ti off of a Corsair 650tx. Go for corsair, evga, seasonic, xfx any of those will be fine.

If it is a quality PSU it will be fine.

i use a gigabyte odin 720W and its fine...also have an r9 280x...cpu is a 4790k though...a quality 650w will be adequate

Think of it as a power budget.

You have 650W

The CPU supposedly needs 125W and the GPU needs 250W so thats 375W needed by the core components add 75W for the rest of the system and you could get away with a 450W PSU.

Allowing for component and PSU aging a 650W should be sufficient.

However, running a PSU near 100% capacity is a bad idea. At 100% load it will run hot and (if it has a thermally regulated fan) loud, this reduces it's lifespan and rules out future upgrades, like a second 280X
