this needs a 500 w power supply so you have one, but it has to be high quality. what brand is the PSU? and model

Cit must be a UK brand, and im not sure who manufactures that. Looks to be a pretty solid PSU and i but i couldnt say id trust it really putting out all 500w, but thats cuz im unfamiliar with the brand. 500 quality watts should be enough to power up at least the 7870. The 270 is the better deal price wise, and offers a bit more performance and some future proof upgrades that the 7870 doesnt have. It also draws more power to justify the performance increase. this could pose a problem unless your PSU is top of the line. Even still i wouldnt feel safe with less than 600w, but im a sissy
