R9 270X or R9 270 450w psu

Solution
Both R9 270 and R9 270X , should work on the PSU . it has 2x 6+2 pin power connectors and 37A on +12 V rail or 444W .

GTX 960 - 120W
A10 6800W - 100W
other 100W
------------
320W , it s the best option

R9 270 has TDP 150W , or system power draw = 350W
R9 270X has TDP 180W , or system power draw=380W
So , all three cards should run on the PSU .
R9 270X is up to 10% faster than R9 270 .
But GTX 960 is on par with R9 280 !

u can go for the 270, if u know on how to overclock ur gpu u can make it in to a 270x which is a oc version of the 270X hence the X in the 270x.
if you don't know on how to oc then go for the 270X but I think u can find out on the internet or YouTube on how to oc ur gpu to make it run like the 270X
hope this helps

Okay but if I wanted to make sure that my PSU is good enough for my GPU should I just get the R9 270 instead of 270X ? Or is that big performance gap between those 2 gpu's ? If this matters my main games are WoW and CSGO but i would like to play games like skyrim etc. with better performance.

they are same architecture but diff factory clock speeds, 270x consumes 30w+ more than 270. If i were you, i would get the 270x and cpu no overclock. You will gain more in games than a 270 with with overclocked cpu.

You have nothing to worry about with either, as that is an awesome PSU. Not all 450W PSU's are created equal; Super Flower power supplies are absolutely outstanding and I would take that 450W unit over most 550W units. You'd be fine running an R9 280 even, which is what I'd take over a 270x since they sell for similar prices.
