Specs:
PSU : seasonic 100-240vac
mobo: ASRock B75 Pro3-M
cpu : i7-3770 3.4ghz
current gpu: MSI RADEON R9 270X GAMING 2G

budget: 600-650$

( was thinking of an gtx 970 ) tell me if thats enough for my psu

Tell me what i can get without having psu problems and bottleneck hanks.

is that US dollars? you can even get a GTX 980 with that amount. indicate the wattage of your PSU, if it is 550W and above, then it will suffice with a 970 or a 980

Jomari Gonzales :

problem, PSU : seasonic 100-240vac it says it got 430 watt, but idk if thats true maybe u can do some research

Jomari Gonzales · May 14, 2015

for a 970 it is recommended at least 500w, with your budget you can still buy a new PSU anyway. id get another seasonic but a 550w s12ii or m12ii 80+ bronze rating

Jomari Gonzales :

since i replaced my psu 1 month ago that wont work, so i can only replace my gpu at the moment. any suggestions then?
also is this true http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1759298/gpu-put-450w-seasonic-psu.html

its not about PSU only you also need to check how many amps on 12v rail are supported on PSU before you buy it cause most of the time it causes lot of problems while you are gaming or watching movies etc.

Still ide say min power suppy for that spec would be at least a 750 to 1000 watt cause then ya got to also calculate how many fans USB devices ya going to use ect so power supply can screw ya if ya get one to small like in my situation
I got aa
amdfx 9590 8 core 4.7 GHz 5 GHz boost clock
Asrock 990fx extreme 6 main board
16 GB of muskin enhanced stealth (4x4) 2133 MHz ddr3
2x evga geforce 650 ti boosts 2gb sc editions
Article freezer a30 320 watt tdp CPU cooler
5 x 80 mm case fans
3 hard drives
A plextor DVD burner
Then if us use USB keyboard mouse ect
USB controllers it all adds up on power requirements
Why and recommends at least a 1000 watt PSU with any of their 220 watt tdp processors

So best advice would be to save up and get ya a rosewill 1000 watt capstone 80 plus gold for like 100 to 120 bucks or find a decently rated 750 watt to 1000 of your choice

You can also do a google search for power supply calulatetor and try a few of em the was a real good one I used and lists all current CPUs and GPUs ect . case lighting everything just can't remember the name of that one of top of head atm
