My psu is a Corsair CS 450M I was wondering if i can run a XFX Radeon R9 380 R9-380P-2255 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support Double Dissipation XXX OC Video Card

I have been reading that as long as I have a good psu I should be fine, but I want to be sure.

you have one of the more decent lower end psu and it will run it depending on the rest of your system. If you have an amd cpu most likely not.

coolcole01 :

I have an amd fx 8350 you are saying that it wont run?
If it wont run it what gpu would you recommend thats $200 or less

no chance it will run that system that cpu uses a ton of power

get at least a 600w
preferably evga or seasonic or xfx

The CSM series is a lower quality budget unit and asking it to run that kind of a load is a bad idea.

I have a 380 running on a CX430 PSU but I am using an I3 4160 rather than a FX8350.
