Hi guys, so it's upgrade time and my choice is between the MSI GTX 760 OC 4GB Edition or the Radeon R9 280 Gigabyte Windforce X3 3GB Edition.
Now I can afford both these GPU's but the Radeon is cheaper than the MSI and the R9 seems to be a bit better.
Now I only have a 500w psu and they say the minimum for the R9 is a 600w, I have the Corsair CX500 V2 with the 34A 12V rail.FX-6300 cpu, MSI 970A-G46 MB, 4x2gb DDR3 ram, 1x 1tb hdd and 4 case fans.According to PSU calculator the recommended psu for my rig is a 490w with the R9 280 and 430W with the GTX 760.
Will my psu handle the R9, and which card is the best for real?
Thanks!!
