I currently have an ASUS P8H61-M LX2 MOBO (http://tinyurl.com/mpx8q4v)
I am looking to purchase either an HD 7870 (http://tinyurl.com/mnaex96)
Or a R9 270(x)?
Budget cap is $200


I'm running an i5 3.30Ghz (4 CPU)
Radeon HD 6670
16GB Ram.
 
Solution
It's okay then, Antec PSU's are pretty good quality!
Maybe if it doesn't fit you cant take out the HDD drive cage, but that GPU is better than it costs, so its worth it ;)

Its a 650W PSU

And thank you for the Reply, I read on the PowerColor Specs that it needed x2 3.0 PCIe Slots and my Mobo is only listing that it has x1 3.0 PCIe Slots. Maybe I miss read and its x2 6-Pin PCI Express Power Connectors.

Its an Antec Earthwatts EA-650

The Card looks like it would be exactly what I'm looking for, I'd really only be worried about it fitting into my case. Mid Tower case, and it would absolutely be a snug fit with a 12.5" card haha.. My current Card is 5.9" x 4.38" x 0.74" and there isn't much room for it to get wider inside the case. Longer would work (Would have to shift around the Hard Drives)
