This is true. This is not a particularly good PSU. However, it should be sufficient to power the R9 270 until a better PSU can be installed. I would certainly not recommend overclocking anything with this weak PSU in use.

IMPz, what is your budget for a replacement power supply? Also, where on the planet do you reside (helps us make better recommendations).

BTW, SR-71 Blackbird is a master when it comes to PSUs. If he recommends a PSU, it will be a good one for your budget. He is the best.
 


No not a good choice get a xfx 550 or seasonic 520 watt PSU.
dont go light on PSU they are one of the most important part of the PC.
