Hello.
I've decided to upgrade from my 6670 to an R9 270x. Also, I've heard that my PSU sucks and that if I was to get a stronger graphics card, I should also get a better PSU.
My current specs are :
Intel i5 2500k 4 x 3.30 GHz
ASUS Radeon HD6670
4GB of RAM
1TB Caviar Blue HDD
MS Industrial PRO-550ATX power supply (is it really that bad??)
I'm not a pro in this so I'm asking here.
How much power would I need to run this comp but with the R9 instead of the 6670.
Any help is much appreciated. :DD
