my specs:

I5 4460

Corsair CX500,

1TB HDD,

8GB DDR3 SDRAM

So could i put a R9 270x with this system? I could get a CX600 if needed becasue i DO plan on overclocking the card.

Thanks,

Yes, R9 270x will run with this system. No issue. Even your current CPU can handle 900 series from nvidia.

Good Luck.

No. Not recommended. This PSU is in Tier 3 of the list. As long as you won't overclock the system, these PSUs would be fine but with overclocking, they may not be able to cop well. If you want to overclock then grab Tier 1 or Tier 2a/B series PSUs.

I would not advise overclocking with that power supply. It is entry level corsair with cheap, poor capacitors.

I would prefer to stick with Corsair, so what PSU would you recommend for a full overclock on the card?

In that case get Corsair HX series PSU.
