Hey
I'm in need of a new gpu because there are so many great games out there that I can't play with my old one.

So, here is what I had in mind.

My budget is tight, and I can't afford "the best" stuff, the stuff I'd really like to have, but here are my options:

GTX750-Ti Palit StormX Dual 2GB DDR5 $210
1202/6008MHz
128bit
2years warranty

GTX660 Gigabyte OC 2GB $237
1033/6008MHz
192bit
3years warranty

R9 270 ASUS OC 2GB GDDR5 $249
950/5600MHz
256bit
3years warranty

Yes, of course, r9 is the best, but...
There's a catch.

Here's a list of PSU's I can get, that are available in the store.
500W Chieftec GPS-500A8 $53
500W Cooler Master B Series $60
530W Thermaltake Smart SPS-530M $71
630W Thermaltake Smart SPS-630M $83

As much as I'd love to get the R9 270 and the 630W PSU, I can't afford it...
I saved up $310 and that's my MAX!

So my question really is...

Will R9 270 work well on 500 Cooler Master PSU ^^^, or should I spend more on a PSU and get 660 instead.

750ti is still an option.

For now, I'm sticking with Pentium g3220, which is not power hungry at all... But if I were to ad an i3, (or an i5 with maybe a slight OC), to the r9 270, would I need more than 500W?

What I need from any of these GPU, is to be able to give me 40-50FPS on 1920x1080, at games like BF4 (yes, I do know mp is CPU heavy, I will upgrade it when I can), Witcher 3, The Elder Scrolls Online, new Wolfenstein, Diablo 3...

Spend more on the power supply it's the heart of your system.

All those power supplies are poor , no overclocking with them.

Upper-Midrange Value Leader

Upon its release, the GeForce GTX 760 introduced GeForce GTX 670- and Radeon HD 7950-class speed at a $250 price point, displacing the Tahiti-based Radeon HD 7870 LE with even more performanceper dollar. As a result, this GK104-powered card is one of our favorite recommendations for frame rate-hungry gamers.

Thats just from toms best picks, if you can still get the 760 for $250.

As for the PSU i like over kill on it so that way i can avoid system failure across multiple components. so i wont give my input on my bias opinion on PSU's.

Where'd you see I was talking about 760?
It's 750TI, 660 and R9 270
I really don't care about those PSUs people here recommend. Seasonic is almost 2x the price here, than it's in USA... So no, no, on stuff like that.
I need opinions on THESE Psu's I mentioned. You can check sites, see how much real power they have, and take a look at power consumption of G3220 and these cards...
That's all I need to know...

All the power supplies listed are very poor quality , wouldn't power any components with them.

Off all the "poor ones", which one is the best?
530w has 87% efficiency, according to the site.
Will I need more than that to power a damn G3220 and one of these cards?

630W Thermaltake Smart is decent.
