Hi everyone. First of all, sorry for my bad english, it's not my native language but I'm going to try to explain my problem.

Just like the title says, I'm looking for a new GPU for my pc, problem is, I just have a 500W PSU. I've being considering to buy a GTX 750 ti FTW edition or a R9 270X, and I want to know what do you guys think about it and what would be the best choice for my rig.

My other components are:

Motherboard: MSI 970A-G46
CPU: AMD FX 8320 @ 3.5 Ghz
RAM: (2x4GB) Kingston HyperX Black @ 1600 Mhz
Storage: Western Digital blue 320GB
PSU: OCZ FirePower ModXStream Pro 500W 80Plus
GPU: MSI Nvidia 9400GT.

So, what do you guys think, what graphic card should I get?
Budget is around 150 USD to 200 USD.

Sorry for my bad english and thanks.

Ha ha, I guess it helps to read the fine print at the bottom.


Here is Guru3D's power supply recommendation:

AMD R7 260X - On your average system the card requires you to have a 450 Watt power supply unit.
AMD R7 260X Crossfire - On your average system the cards require you to have a 650 Watt power supply unit as minimum.
AMD R9 270X - On your average system the card requires you to have a 500 Watt power supply unit.
AMD R9 270X Crossfire - On your average system the cards require you to have a 700 Watt power supply unit as minimum.
AMD R9 280X - On your average system the card requires you to have a 550 Watt power supply unit.

Nvidia generally uses less power than AMD. I'd go for whatever fits in the budget from Nvidia.

OTOH, at that budget, the AMD offerings are likely going to be fine with 500w also.
