can anyone recommend a not so expensive psu for toxic r9 270x,i was using corsair vs 650w,but after 2 days of usage,the psu is not working and i'm suspecting the gpu ruined it
 


The VS650w has enough power to handle a 270x, it's just not a very good PSU though.

Any 450w+ power supply from a reputable brand (Seasonic, Antec, XFX) would have the required power. What country are you in?

thanks man,i think i'll go with corsair RM 550,thats what i'm getting here,just one thing,my system shuts down like it happens in power outage,no shutting down message,simply blacks out after using it for 4-5 mn,so it has to be the psu right?
 


That sounds more like a temperature issue to be honest. It could be the PSU but if it was the PSU it's more likely just wouldn't turn on.

Check your temperatures, check for dust, and check your case fans are plugged in and spinning.

temp and fans are ok but dust? dust can also cause it?,cause i dont use a case

 


Dust buildup reduces airflow inside a case and causes temperatures to rise. If you don't use a case then this isn't an issue - I assume you're cooling it with a fan?
