My old asus 7750HD broke under varanty so now i have option to replace it for asus R7 260X
But my problem/question is will my current PSu be able to handle the load

my configuration>
PSU> Tm-450-PSAP-F1
MB> ASUS P8B75-M LX
CPU> i5 3470 3.2
RAm> 4GB kingstone HyperX blue 1600 CL9
OLD GC now to be replaced ASUS 7750HD-1GD5 (75W max no additional power req)
1TB WD blue
old back up HDD 320GB toshiba
optical DVD-rw LG
and front case fan 12cm

With my old graphic card the system was running smoothly no problems at all until my old GC crocked.
my current options are :
+10$ for ASUS GTX750-PHOC-1GD5 75W max
+15$ for ASUS R7260X-DC2OC-1GD5 spends around 120-130 W under peak
+40$ for ASUS GTX750TI-PH-2GD5, 75w max
+70$ for ASUS STRIX-GTX750TI-OC-2GD 75 W ax
+70$ for ASUS R9270-DC2OC-2GD5 spends around 138 W at peak according to some reviews

there are 2 problems 1 my budget is kinda tight and 2nd will the PSU be enough
the dilemma is this For +10-15 $ i can get 750 or 260 X ...ati beats the 750 in evrything except it needs a lot more power and even if i manage to save a bit more money for TI ...270 has nearly same price and has a LOT better performance.
Getting new better PSU atm is not an option.


WILL my PSU be enough to handle 260X/270 or should i get 750/750ti?

Since you can't get a better PSU atm, go for the ASUS 750ti. Your PSU can't reliably power a 260X, and the 750ti is incredibly efficient.

hmm i found 1 relatively good cheap PSU >for 60$

http://www.coolermaster.com/powersupply/b-series/b500/
so now there is option for 260X+new PSU =75$
should i go for that option ? or go for the +70$ ASUS 750tiStrixOC with keeping the old PSU
