My system spec:

AMD Vishera FXV2 8350
Mushkin 8GB ( 2x4GB )
Gigabyte 970A-D3P
ZM600 lx 600watt

I'm not sure which way to go: HIS/MSI 280x or crossfire 270x ?
 
Solution
The 280X requires minimum 30a on the 12v rail and 550W. The Zalman ZM600lx can provide 42 A and is 80plus certified Bronze so it should be OK. But its mad by an obscure Chinese manufacturer. If you hadn't already bought it, I would've said no. You'd be much better off with something made by Seasonic eg Antec HCG 620M

Thank a lot, but I have already bought the PSU, and the seller is reliable, so i guess it's ok :D.
the only thing is it's not easy to find an 280x at my place, all because of bitcoin miners :(
