Hi,

To run a R9 270x dual... Sapphire recoomends a 500W power supply.

CPU: 51W
RAM: 5W
Mobo: 115W
HDDs: 20W
---- 190W (lets say 200W).
then 2x6 pin = 150 + PCI = 225W
So I would say you can run the R9-270x.

Your PSU might not have the longest lifespan depending on capacitor quality etc.

I've personally run an HD 7870 on a CX430 for a few years and it was fine, and how did you get 115W for the mobo lmao? The entire system won't pull more than 300W unless you massively OC it and run furmark and prime95 at the same time

Yes - the power consumption is when running cinebench....

That number includes the CPU
