My GPU fan broke recently so I thought that now is the time to upgrade.

So, if I were to get the XFX AMD Radeon R9 270x DD, would my power supply be good enough? Would it bottleneck? or is it even worth getting that particular GPU?

If you're going to suggests some other GPU keep in mind that the max length my case supports is 263mm
