Hello all, recently I've decided to choose an AMD Radeon R9 280x as my next GPU, but I need a good range on how many Watts I need to power it, itself and along with my components (My PC is a consumer buy that runs at a meager 300 Watts, standardly). I've chosen the XFX of the GPU model, because it above all looks cool, plus I've seen that different brands require different components to run or have different features, etc.

In short, I'd like a very good estimate on how many Watts I'd for my PSU, and I'd want it to

- Be Around $50 New/Refurbished (Ebay Counts if it's reliable)

- Also be from a trusted Seller, Brand/Manufacturer, because I don't want to worry about it dying on day one.

Links are always appreciated.

Kudos!
- Daniel

I meant that I chose the XFX GPU, not an XFX PSU. If you could revise that'd be nice I guess?
