Hi there! I am about to buy a video card for my rig but I dont know if my current PSU will take. I have a Corsair CX430, AMD A10 5800K, 160GB HDD + 1TB HDD, Kingston HYPERX 2x(4GB) and I was thinking of buying an R9 270X. Will my PSU take it?

Yeah, I would get a new PSU. Physically, yes it would be able to handle it, but the CX isn't built for stress, and the 270x would put some stress on the 430 lol
