So im going to buy this graphics card next month, i had a long thought over this and r9 280x toxic but this is my choice (if you think any other card is better in that 250-370 euro range then tell me) and i need to buy a new PSU but i dont know what to buy. My specs are:
AMD fx-8120
gigabyte ud-870a-ud3
12 gig kingston blue something
1 tb WD,520 gig wd, 30 gig samsung SSD
I linked 3 sites where to look because i dont have a option to order from outside my country.

Hello there!

Concerning your Graphics Card choice, may I suggest this AMD R9 290 - http://www.amazon.fr/Sapphire-graphique-Express-Battlefield-Edition/dp/B00GNT4QTI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1392838046&sr=8-1&keywords=r9+290

It's much faster than the 770 and with AMD Mantle coming, it's clearly a better choice.

For a new PSU - I would recommend a Corsair CX750/M. I have one and it's very cool and efficient. You could also try other manufacturers such as Seasonic, XFX, Antec ETC - Get an 80plus certified power supply.

Whichever power supply you use, get one above 600W for sure.

Thomas :)

The CM Storm Scout supports GPU's up to 270mm (27cm) long - I think the 290 is longer than that - I would check first to be sure :)
