cheapest power supply for r9-270x

Avinoam73 · Apr 22, 2014

i know i need at least 500w, but it needs some more things like pci-e connectors and i don't understand any of that. can you recommend a cheap PSU for the r9-270x? i'm also running an i5-2300 on my pc. thanks.

thanks. how do i know if they're compatible? like what are the cafeterias?

Danbuscus25 · Apr 23, 2014

assuming you have a standard case, such as mid-tower, full-tower, desktop, micro-atx tower, micro-atx mini tower, mini itx tower, micro-atx minislim tower, etc then a standard atx psu will fit.

k so i found this one PSU: Seasonic PSU S12II-520W Active PFC 80+ Retail which is good cause its 520w and it's in my country meaning technical support, and i wanted to know a few things:
are the PSU and the R9-270x compatible with my MOBO:
intel DH67BL
one more thing: is the size going to be a problem? i don't really know anything about cases but mines size (measured from the exterior of it) is hightXlengthXwidth 42x41x18.5
thanks

Danbuscus25 · Apr 23, 2014

yes, everything is compatible and will fit.

no homo

Avinoam73 · Apr 23, 2014

one last thing: what's the size of the GPU?

Danbuscus25 · Apr 23, 2014

it depends on the brand and model, but usually R9 270X's are between 8" long and 11" long.

Avinoam73 · Apr 23, 2014

oh wait! i forgot to mention: the sies were in Centimeters! not inches. is it still ok?

Danbuscus25 · Apr 23, 2014

pretty much, and worse case scenario you have to remove a drive bay, but i doubt that and its simple if you have too.

Avinoam73 · Apr 23, 2014

my case is 42x41x18.5 centimeters. is it still ok?

Danbuscus25 · Apr 23, 2014

99% it will be ok.

Avinoam73 · Apr 23, 2014

thank you so much for the info so far

is there a way i could check? BTW the store site says it'll be 10.7"

Danbuscus25 · Apr 23, 2014

ok, you can go to the manufactures website of your case and it should tell you the length of the longest card you can use and it should be in mm.

Avinoam73 · Apr 25, 2014

you are the best, thanks a lot!
