My current build:
Amd fx 6300
Hyper 212 evo
Msi 760 p34 fx
500 watt power supply
R9 270


I just want to know if my
Build could handle The rx 480 8gb. If not, then could it handle the 4gb version?

Thanks.

This is Guru3D's generic power supply recommendation for the series:

AMD Radeon RX 480 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 450 Watt power supply unit as minimum.

If you are going to overclock GPU or processor, then we do recommend you purchase something with some more stamina.

I'd look at the Seasonic S12 520 as a start

The M12 is the modular version

I wouldn't waste my money on buying a power supply for only 20 watts more.
