Hi

I want to buy me the new Polaris Graphics Card RX 480 8GB and I'm not so clued up with PSU's .

I have the Huntkey 700w PSU but in it spesifications it gives me Output Wat: 400 (Continues)
and Max Output Capacity: 500w.

the: Output +3.3v +5v +12
24.0a 17.0a 16.0a

+3.3v&5v total output dont exceed 130w

this is the PSU's spesifications is that strong enough for the graphics card like this 2 and other models like Gigabyte,Asus and MSI that is faster and more powerful like these 2

I'd stay well away from that PSU. It isn't 80+ rated, which is typically a very bad sign. I'd reccomend something 550w+ from EVGA or Corsair. If you must stick with that PSU though, you should be OK as long as you have a spare 6 pin, and depending on what CPU you are running.

Your current PSU is likely to die when your computer gets put under a semi heavy load and will likely take out something with it. The new PSU you linked before would work great. If you wanted you go drop down to a smaller unit too. 850w is way more than you will need.
