Hi,

On the Saphire Website, I see it that need minimum PSU 500w for the 7850 2 gb.

I Would like to have more information about of minimum 500w.

Because I have the PSU 650 CX V2.

The PSU 600 CX V2 has a power of 480w on the 12v / 40a

Thank-you !

yes you will be fine . and that put that for ppl who have crap psus lol but a good 450W would run this with no problem ? Nice Build though
 
Saphire wants minimum 500w because there are bad psu.

Is it this ?

What is a bad PSU ?

Could Corsair 600 CX V2 be a bad or good psu ?

OCZ sucks, avoid. No matter which brand you buy, google for reviews of it at jonnyguru, HardOCP, Anandtech, TechPowerUp, and a few others. The little review sites are sketchy as hell and they don't test things properly so ignore what they say... they are probably getting paid by PSU companies to write favorable reviews anyway.
