I have a radeon hd 6750 1gb running on a 450w generic psu for about 5 years. Now i purchased a xfx single core r7 370 2gb and i wanted to know what psu should i use. Both cards seems to need 500w psu, at least it's what is recommended by AMD. My current system specs are:
Intel i5 3570k
Radeon HD 6750 1gb
(2x)4gb 1600mhz Corsair Vengeance DDR3
Asus p8h67m-pro
Seagate 1TB 7200
Seagte 80gb 5400

Estimated power consumption of my pc with a r7 370:

Results:
Load Wattage: 302 W
Recommended UPS rating: 600 VA
Recommended PSU Wattage: 352 W

oh, thanks for the reply dude, but in reality a 550w psu in my country is quite expensive, i was looking forward to a evga or corsair 400w or 430w. I saw some people commenting they were using a 400w quality psu for r7 370 or r9 270 that has a similar power usage and thinking if it will be enough since that i could find any tests on the internet confirming it.

No worries. Simply pick one from the list below and make sure that it's classified as tier 1 or 2.

What country are you located in? If you list a website that you commonly purchase computer components from, perhaps someone on this site will be nice enough to pick a nice one out for you, and reply to this message thread. Just be sure to list your max budget.

I'm from Brazil and these should be some good websites for computer components http://www.kabum.com.br/hardware/fontes

My max budget would be like R$180 or $45 , the problem is that a Corsair CX430 would be a expensive psu here, about 65 dollars(R$260)
The antec vp-450(R$130) and evga 400w(R$175) would be really affordable psus for me and i saw some threads saying that these psus should be fine, but i'm not sure it will. Another thing is that my Radeon HD 6750 seems to consume more power than r7 370 and i had no problem with it and my generic fx 450 lpj2-20 that has a real wattage of 260w.
