Hi
I used the PSU calculator from this http://www.extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine and it said that with both FX-6300 and Radeon R9 270x it calculated at the recommended wattage of 378w. I have a cheap Rosewill 400w PSU that came with my case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147099&cm_re=rosewill_case-_-11-147-099-_-Product . So I'm wondering if I still need to upgrade my psu to 500w, or can I just manage out with what I have? I don't have much on my built, I have two 4 GBs of Ram, one HDD, and a standard Micro ATX Mobo with the FX 6300 CPU.

Please reply if you can, Thanks :)

Yes, it would be higher performance if you used a 500W. However, a 400W will do. I'd recommend the 500W, like i7 said.

If I was to get this GPU, how long will my 400w Power Supply can last for before it doesn't work? And how different from the higher performance?
