Hi guys just wondering if my psu is enough to run a sapphire r9 270 it says it requires 500w and i dont want to jump into buying it if it wont work as i am on a budget im using a xfx 450w 80 plus proseries,
would i have to worry about bottleneck with the card with an fx 4300 and the 270 no x

im looking to play most games like skyrim(modded) Tera etc on ultra at my max resolution of 1368x768 could i get by with a r7 260x or 750ti? or would i be best with the r9 for more future proof gaming if my psu can handle it

I would change that psu for a better one. Something for Seasonic would be the best. I doubt that 450W will cut it.
Your cpu is fine, you dont have to worry about that.
For that resolution a I think the 750ti is enough, altough if you will upgrade your monitor that gpu may not be enough for higher resolutions.
