Hello, i want to buy a gpu for my pc but i think that i will also need to upgrade the psu, here are my pc parts:

CPU: Intel i3-4170
GPU: Integrated intel hd 4400
PSU: Corsair VS 450
MOBO: MSI G81M-P33
RAM: Cruicial Ballistix 8GB
SSD: Kingston 120GB

I wanted to buy the amd r9 380 but for that i'd need a better psu right? But at the same time the RX 480 is coming out after like 3 weeks, is it worth to wait for it ? Bcz i can't go over like 210eur on gpu.

So how power full psu would i need for r9 380 and rx 480? And if i upgrade them both will the pc be ok? I read that the cpu would perectly work with r9 380 but im not sure would ir with rx 480 :D

Anyways, atleast tell me how powerful psu do i need to run r9 380?
