For that build configuration, you need a bigger PSU than 550W if you want it to run for very long without issues.

I would point out though, that that PSU is pulling it REALLY tight even for a brand-spanking new build since the GPU you mentioned is a 500W minimum card (depending on exact brand version, it might be 550W), you're using a REALLY power hungry CPU, and the *Max* rating on that PSU is only 550W. =\ It's not AMD's fault per-se, but it's not necessarily the board manufacturers' fault either in many cases (the information is there, but often not super easy to find unless you're looking for it). that issue is one of the reasons I shy away from AMD build kits. Many of the motherboards that say they are compatible with the 8350 simply throttle the cpu back to protect the board as a result of this MSI's do not for some reason.Ty Crash for actually looking up the relevant info. The FX-8350 has been recorded exceeding 140w, even though AMD lists it at 125w. The reason for this is the TDP support is only spec'd at 125w.

The BIOS update which enables compatibility is unfortunately known to toast the northbridge chip and some mosfets and kill the mobo. People have only managed to get it to support the FX-8350 cpu's with a current bios update. Check it with a PSU tester first, but I personally don't think this is the problem.ĪS for the mobo.Officially from MSI - this board does NOT support the FX-8350.

The most resent tests on the 'Rosewill' branded PSU's exceed the 80% Gold standard for output. Rosewill PSU's have been in use since 1991 under various other brand names as an OEM manufacturer.
