, so might get RX 460 single slot card from XFX or perhaps MSI or some company.

Hi, I have got the same motherboard like you, but LE version and I have RX460, but only FX4100. The usage is 297W at load (100% CPU/GPU), so you can add about 30-40W with your CPU. I have 550W PSU, the highest efficiency is usually in the 50-60% of PSU's usage, not to mention silence, so 600W-650W would be ideal.

P.S. Interesting, that you have EVO version, but without a mofset cooler. I have actually ordered a normal version with 8pin CPU and with mofset cooler, but they sent me LE instead with 4pin only. Well it supports 140W as well, so I guess it is fine, I just had to put on some coolers on mofset, I plan to add 8370.

Well think will be fine with new power supply I got in mind, then saving money to purchase one of the RX 400 series video cards, whether it will be RX 460, 470 or 480 remains to be seen, I just started this thread to make sure wasn't any special things I had to worry on, since first Asus system. But think after all the replies I should be good now I hope lol.
