Hello fellow PC builders :D
I'm from Serbia here and i'm building my first PC
You should know that I'm AMD and ATI fan so i aim for that mostly. If you have suggestions from other brand you name it. But i still may go with AMD cause I may plan to crossfire later in 2016(or on 2015 end i hope). And yes,ofcours then i will buy high-end MOBO that supports nice overclock and crossfire.
I was thinking from ATI radeon 7850 to ATI radeon 7870 or from ATI radeon R7 265 to R9 270x. This leaves us with 5 good ATI graphic cards. So here is the thing,which one from these is best compatable with FX 4130?
I have:
FX 4130 stock cooler and clock
4gb
ga-78lmt-s2p
Keep it mind that i will upgrade ram on 8gb 1600mhz(2x4) so it can support these graphic cards.
When you suggest 1 of these cards please tell me about theie power usage in idle,stress(overload,or whatever you call it) and overclock mode.
I hope to see nice answers. :D

There are 5 cards here ^^
ATI radeon 7850,ATI radeon 7870,R7 265,R9 270 and R9 270x
As for PSU-s i think that 500w is to low if i plan to overclock GPU and CPU and replace MOBO with some high-end,is it?
As for my "may plan to crossfire" howmuch Power would i need then? And yes,still goes with OC on CPU and GPU.
You dont have to suggest any PSU,just say the wattage,cause Serbian psu market is a lot different than western civilization so i will find my way through. :p

I do not see R9-270, but I am part blind anyway.
R9-270 is same-o same-0.

For crossfire, which I do not recommend, you need to add about 200w
Here is a chart that might help:

Note that what is important is the +12v amps that a psu can deliver, not the wattage.
Some older or cheaper psu's will advertise high wattage, but deliver them at 5.5 and 3.3v .
You want to look at the total 12v amps which is what modern cpu's and graphics cards use.
The data plate will tell you. If you do not see a data plate with specs, don't buy. It is a sure sign of a poor quality unit. A cheap unit does not have good protective circuitry. If it fails under load, it can destroy anything it is connected to.
Buy only quality.
