I have a XFX TS Series 430W Power Supply 80 Plus Bronze, my current specs are:

i5 2320 3.0GHz Turbo to 3.3GHz
6GB RAM soon to be 8GB RAM
MSI R7 250 1GB GDDR5 OC Edition
1TB HDD

I want to know how big of a card could my PSU supply with enough power for stable gaming? e.g. something like a GTX 960/970 or R9 270X

I would wait until July 19th and order the new GTX 1060 for $250. It's only 120W TDP so it should be fine with your power supply and it's supposed to beat a GTX 980 in performance.

Wow, sounds promising. I don't plan on upgrading my GPU until January of next year anyway, so I'll research a bit about the GTX 1060 when it comes out. Thanks for the heads up.
