Hey guys in the advance sorry for my bad English I m from Croatia 
So greetings from Zagreb. I have a corsair cx500 builder series v2 psu. Its on my system for almost 2years. My current system is this:
i5 750 stock speed
Asrock h55m-le
xfx 7870 2gb black edition
ssd ocz vertex 4 128gb
wd green 1TB
And the case is Thermaltake element T
I plan to buy (used) ati 7970 video card or new r9 280x (if I have money) So anyway my question if my current psu can handle this video card, In my head i calculate like this: 7970/ r9 280x max TDP 250 W my current i5 750 is 95W. = 345 w + ssd-hdd+2 case fans cca 60-70 W. And i have a left 85W free. What do you think? p.s. I know that is my cpu bottleneck but I have in plain to upgrade my cpu and mbo later on. My biggest concerned is about my current PSU. So please help Tnx guys..
