400w psu for 4890?

Thread Starter 
My lan rig at the moment has an msi 790fx-gd70, an athlon 2 x3 and a gt440 as the main components, I have a 4890 coming in a few days, and I think I probably need a psu upgrade

I have a Logisys 480w in there at the moment, which i know is horrendous, but even if it's really only a 300w, it's still plenty for what's in there. but the 4890 will require an additional 150w

Also lying around I have a bestec 300w, and some unbranded oem 400w that seems to be of decent build quality

are any of these going to be strong enough? or should i order something like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139026

The Logisys is crap, the Bestec isn't powerful enough, and "unbranded oem 400w" isn't enough info to comment on.

The CX430v2 would work fine.

I believe that's the one...Not sure though

I'll probably go ahead and get the corsair anyway, thanks biggrin.gif

If that's the case then the 400W is a piece of crap too.
