Radeon R7 260X-R9 270X Power Consumption.

Solution
No, you will need a CX 500 atleast. Even that will be cutting it too close. Spend a few bucks more on the PSU, get an R9 270(non x) and overclock it to get identical performance! ( They both are identical cards, the only difference is in clock speeds.)

The 750 ti is a good card, but if you want more performance, the R9 270 is much better. The 750 ti is not bad either and will run on the CX430 so you won't need to upgrade that.

Yeah.
You'll also get shadowplay, physx and gameworks. So I guess that is good enough.
Anyways, you can resolve this thread by selecting the best answer. You can pm me if you have further questions.
Cheerio!

No! You will need atleast 500w for the r9 270x. Did you mean GTX 750 ti because you had decided on that earlier. But if you wish to get a 270X, you'll have to pay a bit more and you'll get loads of more performance outta that.

It will be cutting too close. Your card might not give the ideal performance it should and your system could randomly shutdown if it doesn't get enough power. If you want to be safe and want your components to survive an irregularity, while maintaining efficiency and allowing room for upgrades, you must get a CX500
