Hello, I'm currently considering a GPU update for my HD 7770 1 GB GPU.
I'd like to get the R9 270x and if possible the R9 280, but I'm concerned if my PSU can handle it.

Current Specs
Processor - Intel i5-3450
Motherboard - ASUS P8B75-V
GPU - ASUS HD 7770 1GB (non DirectCU version)
RAM - Corsair XMS3 4GB 1333MHz x2
Power Supply - Antec VP450P

The R9 270X I have in mind - http://goo.gl/Qi0oWz

Thanks for the help!

I would go for a 550W power supply.

Hi, this is an upgrade for my around a year old PC so I already have the VP450P.
I can use a Molex to PCI-E 6 pin adapter to meet the requirements (2x 6pin), right?

119 ( CPU )+190 (GPU)= 289W add on another 60W or so and the total comes to around 360W. Your PSU will work for the upgrade.
