Hello,

I have a XFX TS 450 watt, an Asus Radeon R7 260X and an AMD A8 6600k. I'm planning on upgrading to a MSI R9 380 or 380X which, at the time of writing this, will launch tomorrow. Can my PSU handle the R9 380(X)? Without overclocking of course.

Thanks in advance.
 
Solution
A Radeon R9-380 needs 28 amps on the 12v+ rail and a 500 watt power supply with 2 - 6 PIN PCIE power connections.

The XFX TS 450 only has one 6 pin PCIE connection and is therefore insufficient to power the card.

Alright, thanks for the help.

Would the TS 550 be enough? I might be able to get my hands on one from a friend.
