So, i am planing to buy the Asus R9270X-DC2-2GD5. And i want to put it into my pc, which is not that old, and has integrated graphics.

Specs:
QuadCore AMD A8-5600K with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics
Motherboard: ASRock FM2A75M-DGS
Dual DDR3 SDRAM 8gb 21333 MB/s Bandwidth
LC power 460W power supply
One CPU fan
One HDD 1TB
One Blue-Ray drive
The sound card is integrated with the motherboard
(if i forgot any components, tell me please)

I just want to know, if i put the R9270X-DC2-2GD5 into my pc, will the power supply be able to handle all the components?

Thank you for the replies, i wll mark the best anwser as soon as possible.

 
460w PSU not powerful enough, and unless it has two 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors it wouldn't be any good anyway. See "Best Solution" here: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1921867/radeon-270x-work-550w-psu.html

Plus, LC PSUs are just not good quality, best avoided. A cheap quality PSU is more likely to fail, and when it does it can easily trash your shiny new graphics card.
