I don't mind if the gpu is much more than £150, but I'm after the best performing card for my system.

Radeon R9 270/X requires 24 Amps on the 12v rail, a 500W PSU minimum

R9 270: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/parts/video-card/#c=154&sort=a7
R9 270X: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/parts/video-card/#c=147&sort=a7

R9 270 requires 1x 6 pin power connector. R9 270X requires 2x 6 pin power connectors.

The Corsair CX430M has 32 Amps on the 12v rail, so is fine. However it only has 1x 6+2 power connector.

The 270 would be the logical fit IMO.

Scampi :

Would you recommend a particular r9 270 card, as I've got my eye on the MSI r9 270 gaming. Thanks a lot for the answer though.

Ben Davies :

Your welcome.

They are all okay, i wouldn't have a problem with any brand as long as the price isn't too high. The ones £130 or lower would be better value IMO. Other than the MSI, perhaps the ASUS or Gigabyte.
