I need to know how much wattage my PC really needs. My specs are:

CPU: AMD FX-4300 OC'd to 4.7 GHz at 1.54 vcore
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212X (with an extra Deepcool XFan 120mm)
Motherboard: MSI 970 Gaming AM3+ Motherboard
GPU: Sapphire R9 270x Vapor-X
HDD:Western Digital Scorpio Blue 320GB 2.5" HDD x2 (Got these from old laptops)
Samsung ST500DM005 500GB 3.5" HDD
Optical Drive: Samsung SH-224 Optical Drive
PSU: Antec Basiq BP500U 500w

Thoughts? Is my Antec Basiq BP500U enough for it? I don't want my PC to break. :( Oh yeah, this PC is on nearly all the time. Around 8-12 hrs a day btw. Thanks for the help. :)

No need to worry
HD 7790 and r9 270x require same amount of powers...

A 500w psu will be enough

Thanks for the reply guys. The Antec Basiq is pretty reliable actually. I've had this PC on for 48 hours on multiple occasions and twice for 72 hours just for a 3D rendering project (which means it was on 100 percent load for 72 hours lol).

I'm just scared that the Power Supply might clunk out on me and die. I've had it for two years, but this rig is the 3rd PC I've used the PSU in. The first one was a simple A6-3500 and no GPU. The second rig was basically the same as my current rig, except that it ran a Powercolor HD 7790. Now I wouldn't be too worried about my PSU back in the older rigs, but I'm worried now since the R9 270x uses more power than the HD 7790.
