Hello.I have 500W PSU and AMD Phenom II x4 925.I want to buy a new graphic card to play new AAA games like BF and GTA V. I choose R9 380 but I don't sure,my cpu and psu can carry it (if I choose the wrong word,sorry.I'm Turkish.) .I guess you are professional.What are you thinking.Please I need a quick answer :) .

Note: If my cpu can't carry it.I think I'll buy HD 7850 or R9 270/280.So can my cpu carry one of them ?

That CPU will bottleneck the 380 and 280. But if your ok with dialing the settings down and a little OC on the cpu, than go ahead. My phenom 1100T (6 core 3.3 GHZ) bottlenecked my 7950 at an oc of over 4GHZ.

Find the best deal on a 7850 7950 or 270 and buy it. Sometimes the faster video cards have better deals. Check the 7970 and 290 as well. Better to get a great deal on a gpu with a bottleneck than a slower gpu that cant keep up.
