Best Power Supply for Sapphire R9 270X 4GB

[ryemck]

Hey all

I can't find the answer to this on Google so thought I'd ask here.

I'm after buying the card in title as it's 73% off on Amazon (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sapphire-270X-1020MHz-Express-Graphics/dp/B00FOR0086).

I currently have a 500W Corsair PSU that I love but I don't think it's enough. I've been reading that maximum wattage is not the main thing for power supplies so I don't want to get a random one with enough W and the correct ports lol

If possible I'd like it to be Corsair or any other reliable vendor any ideas?

Greetings,

500 Watt Power Supply is required. That's from official website. If You give me a model of Your 500W Corsair PSU, I'll confirm it to You, whether it's gonna be enough. Btw. the "off" price isn't that great for 270x, but it's a an okay purchase.

These are extended specs:

4X75 Watt 6-pin PCI Express power connector is required for CrossFireX™ system.
2X75 Watt 6-pin PCI Express power connector is required.

Is this the same graphics card? http://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-version-PCI-Express-Graphics-11217-04-20G/dp/B00FLMKN6I

Nearly £50 cheaper..lol

I'm at work atm so I'll have to reply later (or pm you) to provide my corsair model

ryemck - haha, good kill, good kill. Very good choice. And You should be great with one of the following:

EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2, G1, B2, or even B1 will do just fine. My favourite is RM 750, but people here hate it, so only if You like Corsair. Fortron Aurum CM 750 will do also great. Seasonic M12II-620 Evo is a fine budget choice, still reliable. In case You like Enermax, Enermax Revolution X't 630W Gold.

And these are "top" Seasonic G Series 750W, Seasonic X Series 750, and my favourite, AX 760i, HX 750i.

Though, there are better brands for less money, but I use only these so I cannot really recommend anything else.
