Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 760G - Thermaltake TR-500 TR2 ATX 500W
-
compatible with
-
R9 270X?

I want to know if the PCI express ports will work for this mobo and GPU, and that my psu and mobo have the right ports to supply it with power.

I know the GPU requires 2 molex to PCI cables, and I want to make sure my rig has that.

Also, if you could tell me which one to get, because I am not sure if the "Toxic" or a specific one from MSI or GigaByte will have different requirements as far as power and ports.

I really don't want to order this and find out I was wrong.

Thanks!

That motherboard has one PCI-E x16 slot running at x16. If you plan on CrossFire in the future, you will want a motherboard with a second PCI-E x16 slot running at x16 (I'd worry about a better PSU once you begin planning for that upgrade). That PSU has one 6+2 pin and one 6 pin power connector for PCI, so you're good.
Good luck!
Edit: Didn't see the rest of your post. Personally, they're all about the same, but with varying prices. The MSI is a good one to go for, since it has a good price point. All the other manufacturers will have a difference of about 1 - 3 fps in games (I looked at benchmarks, since I have a Sapphire R9 270X).

Thanks to the both of you, I love the lightning fast replies on here. I will upgrade PSU as soon as I can, and I plan to keep this setup as it is, no crossfire.
