Hey :)  for the past couple months ive been trying to design my own computer system for gaming but i cant work out what power supply i need. the system is
AMD FX 8320
AMD HD 7850 2GB
8GB DDR3 RAM
Asus M5A97 LE R2.0
1TB Western digital hard drive

id like to upgrade the card to an AMD R9 270X but every site ive looked at seems to say i could use a 500W power supply except the Asus website which says way over 700w, could somebody please give me some advice on what to go for?
thanks :)
