I bought a ASUS RADEON R9 280X, i ask the guy at the store if my 550watt psu was going to be enough and he said yes, the thing is, once i got home my GPU started showin strange textures and then showing pixels even out of the game.... i tried lowering the graphics in BF4 to low and this seeed to reduce this problems, but in others games such as WOW or rfactor 2 the problem persisted...
is my PSU to weak to handle my GPU?

We'll need all of your specs to determine total wattage. But 550 sounds just enough, not much of a space for more wattage.

Depending on the make and model some 550w can run that card.
