Hi there,

Thinking about getting the R7 260X as I am having to be very budget conscious. Despite this, what are the options open to me for graphics cards without upgrading the PSU?

System:

Intel i3 3240 @ 3.4 GHz
Corsair CX 430w
WD Blue 1TB HDD
8GB RAM
MSI B75MA-P45

Help is very highly appreciated,
Thanks.
 
Solution
The Corsair "CX" line was made with some inferior capacitors that cannot take heat, and have been cited for early failure. In your case, on a tight budget, I'd get a GTX750Ti which uses a little more than half the power needed by the R7 260X (but performs about as well), lowering the load (and hence heat) on that PSU.
