best amd gpu for my 475 watt psu

assuming i upgrade my PSU what cards in the RX 200 and RX 300 series would you recommend for doom 4

For your PSU i would get a RX 470.... it will be fine.

A 470 is a very small step up from a GTX-960 so small it is not in any way worth the cost.

@OP. The only 300 serries AMD card that would be a step up would be a 390, but it would be a good bit cheaper just to get a GTX 1070 then a 390 + new PSU and the 1070 would be faster and run cooler.

So if i was coming from a GTX650 , is the RX460 or RX470 better?

HI, so i currently have an AOPEN AX500-A power supply it says 460 Watt and 500 Watt peak.
I have tried sites like Jonyguru but i really find it very unfriendly. I typed in a couple of power supplies i am looking for and it doesn't find results.

I currently have the MSI A88X G43 motherboard with AMD Athlon X4 860K and 16GB ram at 1866 but for the love it me it only runs at 1333 i really cant believe this with today's technology, you pay so much for this stuff and its always
compatibility issues- I have actually forced my bios to recognize it as a 1866 frequency memory , not sure how this makes a difference or if it even does, i would imagine the best is if the bloody thing was recognized in the first place..... and finally have an amazing TOP of the range GTX650.

Bear in in mind 8 months ago i was still on Socket 939 with DDR1 memory and a 9800 GT....and maybe 10 month before that i was on Athlon XP 2500+ with AGP 7800. Top of the range.

My question is coming, but i am trying to give the details of what my experiences are and what i want to get to , please.
I would like to get a better PSU such as a 550Watt but then somebody told me rather get a better one like a 600 or 650 or even 700/750 Watt.

Only problem is that i am limited here with what i can get for my money.

I would really appreciate it somebody can assist me in finding one or narrowing down from what i have found.

If i could just find a simple site where you can compare PSUs side by side then it will make it easier for me.

so first off i reckon getting a good warranty would be great BUT if you guys reckon the item is so good it doesn't even need
Warranty , then ill take your word for me.

I have found these of the following which i can afford. My price range is around 1000 to 1500 Rand which is ZAR (www.xe.com)

www.takealot.co.za and www.loot.co.za are the only sites i can buy from in this scenario.

I have found these PSUs to be interesting.. I reckon i should go more than 600 Watts , so would 650 do it OR should u really go as high as 700 + :

1500 rand is really alot of money for me but if you guys reckon it is important to have a good PSU i guess i need to byte the bullet. I was actually going to originally buy a graphics card like an RX460....

I do have future plans to get 2x RX470 graphics cards by Power Color.
I have noticed that there are a few mixed reviews on how much wattage you should have for x amount of graphics cards.

Anyways if you guys can assist me in please find a decent power supply from the list above AND HOPEFULLY it is a vital component for the PC to run efficiently ?

Appreciate you going through the list of the PSUs i found above....
I reckon for me, getting 8pin and 6 pin PCI-e, is essential as apparently you do not want to play with Molex to 6/8 pin connectors so i was told.
I wanted to ask the experts online like you guys in this community, thanks.

I would like to be running 2 graphics cards in my system with possibly a 3rd and 4th in future using PCI Risers,
I just cant afford to buy and make a mistake.... perhaps i need to get a decent 500 Watt or maybe the one i have ia already fine and it is just about me finding another gfx card now to insert in to another old Intel 775 i have... its very very slow though it does have a PCI-E slot. I also have my ancient X2 4400+ socket 939 motherboard which i can put a card in to ?

Then again do i want to run 3 machines where i can just run one which more newer technology.

Thanks for replying, im really sad to hear my CPU is not good? i really cant understand it, bearing in mind i came from the word of DDR1 and old AGP still.. my Gosh.
I am very tempted to go ahead and get this PSU - How do you feel about the semi modular option - http://www.takealot.com/cooler-mast...es-750w-semi-modular-power-suppl/PLID34188986 ?

I see they have Corsair there also BUT only have a 650 or 600 Watt which is not what i want.
I am talking in terms of if say i want to eventually use 3 GPUs in future.

I an leaning towards the coolermaster there because of the 5 year warranty, and 2 reviews i saw say it is a decent PSU.
I am just not certain if it has 8 pin connectors for say 2 GPU;s which is what i want to get - 2x RX470

yes the V series is good

again, unless you are mining for crypto currency using more that a single rx 470 is literally money down the toilet for gpu power you will NEVER see with your current setup
that processor is entry level, it would bottleneck a SINGLE rx 470
you cannot add rockets to a mule and make it fly

Out of what I see on the site the Antec VP and corsair CX are decent.

Dont go with coolermaster, they do not make a good psu at all. Any review of a PSU that has not disassembled it, insepcted all its components and hooked up to test equipment, is not a valid review; so anything an individual says about a PSU in a review is almost worthless.

I am sorry to burst your bubble but your setup is not even remotely capabile of handling 2, 3 or 4 gpus. A RX 470 would be pushing that cpu to its absolute max and 1 470 card is going to be better then getting 2-3 weaker CPUs.
Also, if you were dead set on the 3-4 gpu option then 600w would be grossly insufficient. For that you would need more like 1000w and you would want to make damn sure it is top shelf quality gold/platinum rated PSU from a top notch brand (like seasonic, superflower, etc).

It's not that your CPU is terrible, it's just that it's entry-level and multiple-GPU solutions aren't really meant for entry-level rigs.
