Today, the farthest I got, and probably the farthest I'll get, is 2133 MHz at 1.6V 9-10-9-24...

    500W PSU good enough for FX-6300 and R9 270?

    Hello, I'm planning on building a PC sometime soon and I have 2 GPU options: R7 265 or R9 270. The R9 270 only costs a little bit more but has a big performance increase over the R7 265 but I'm not sure if a 500W PSU (it has 83% efficiency) will be enough to handle it. Any help will be appreciated.
