450W powering a GTX760 or R9 270X?

Solution


Hi - If that PSU can deliver it's rated specs, it is enough for a system with either of those cards. It
has barely enough +12v amps (30 total avail, not 39)for the gtx760 & has a little headroom for
an r9 270x. If you're gonna stay with that PSU go with the 270x because of the xtra +12v headroom.

Personally, I would start saving money for a better quality PSU. Lower quality PSU's often don't deliver their rated specs.

You don't need anywhere near a 750w PSU for a single GPU system. if you decide to upgrade in the near future,
a good quality 500-550w unit will provide plenty of...

With your current PSU I would go for gtx 750Ti.It will give you gtx 480 level performance for only 65 watts so you have a high performance gpu which will run easily on your PSU.No reason to go with either 760 or 270. 750Ti is your savior so to speak.
