I currently have an AMD 8120 CPU (not OC) , OCZ ModXtreme 600w PSU and AMD 7850 2gb.
I was going to buy another 7850, but decided against it as I would need to replace my motherboard (ASUS M5A97 has only one PCIe x16 port) and probably my PSU as well.
So instead, I want to get an R9 280X to replace my current GPU, while retaining the MOBO and PSU.
I worry that my not-so-great PSU is inadequate for running that graphics card overclocked, as well as my CPU overclocked.
Should I just suck it up and buy a new PSU, or am I perfectly fine as it is?
