Im currently running on a A10 6800k with 1333MHz ram (Yes I know its a horrible ram speed for a APU) just so that later on I could upgrade into a dedicated graphics card. Im thinking of a mid ranged R9 270X, but I'm not sure if I should get a XFX R9 270X @ 1000MHz and 1050 with boost, Sapphire Vapor-X @ 1050Mhz and 1100 with boost, Sapphire Dual-X @ 1020Mhz and 1070Mhz with boost or finally a Gigabyte R9 270X @ 1050Mhz and 1100Mhz with boost, I was also wondering if I got the XFX card, would I be able to overclock the card with my current Cougar SL500 PSU. All of the items will be linked below:

I don't recommend overclocking with poor power supplies.

But will I be able to power the Sapphire Vapor-X or the Gigabyte Windforce andboost it to 1100Mhz?
