Hi GEEKS:)

I am going to buy either one of the following two graphics cards:

1.ASUS GTX760-DC2OC-2GD5
or
2.ASUS R9270X-DC2T-2GD5

The current configuration of my PC is :

Intel Core i5-3550 3.3Ghz
Gigabyte GA-B75-D3V Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance 2x4 GB DDR3 1600Mhz
WD 1TB HDD 7200RPM
Antec GX700 with 2x140mm and 2x120mm chasis fans
Cooler Master Hyper 212x CPU Cooler
Seasonic S12II 520W PSU
LG 23MP55HQ 23 Inch LED

Now my question is, whether my PSU is capable enough to handle a single graphics card listed above? My budget do not allow me to buy a new higher capacity PSU. Please keep in mind that:

1. I will not going to upgrade my PC any more.
2. I shall never OC either my CPU or GPU.
3. I only want a SINGLE gpu.

According to me the PSU should work fine with either cards. My total system power consumption should not cross 350W at FULL load. But I want advice from you guys. Please response :)




 
Solution
Yes your quality PSU will handle either card fine. The GTX760 being the stronger card. Both cards call for 500watt PSU installed in the system which you exceed.
