Get a higher rated, higher wattage PSU check here: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

When you're dealing with very high end graphics cards, I'd never recommend going cheap on your PSU. First of all, that's a bronze rated PSU which the ratings refer to the power efficiency and guaranteed throughput (I believe bronze is like 80 or 85% efficiency).

I'd recommend getting probably at least a 650W or more GOLD rated. I run two GTX 670 cards with 2 SDDs, 1 HDD, and a 85W CPU on a 750W PSU.

Subjective obtained GPU power consumption = ~ 196 Watts

This is Guru3D's generic power supply recommendation for the R7 and R9 series:

AMD R9 380 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 500 Watt power supply unit.
AMD R9 380 Crossfire - On your average system the cards require you to have a 700 Watt power supply unit as minimum.

If you are going to overclock GPU or processor, then we do recommend you purchase something with some more stamina.

Bronze, Solver, Gold is basically a meaningless categorization as far as quality and performance goes. It means only two things really

1. How much your electricity bill is.
2. How much heat is generated inside your case and if that was an issue, you wouldn't have a 380. Under gaming usage, you'll likely draw about 300 watts and the difference between gold and bronze will be about 15 watts

[soniccaner1]

Or i could move to the gtx 960 ftw eddition and i can downgrade my psu to maybe a xfs 450w?

Corsair CX or RM series - No

EVGA B1 - Original one got so so reviews but they now offer a 10 year warranty ... did they do a new design or just bump up the warranty ? No idea.... but you could take the position that, assuming this is the 10 year warranty model, that 'who cares", you are guaranteed to have a working PSU for 10 years

XFX Core and Pro editions are just fine... screen shot doesn't let me look at the details tho.

Antec HCG / HCP are fine, TP no.

In this size range, EVGA GS series, Seasonic S12 / M12, XFX Core / Pro Editions

As for tier lists, personally I find them extremely misleading and therefore suitable only as a potential starting point. A PSU can get lumped in a tier category based upon one review in a model line. The Corsair 650 - 850 were great PSUs for example, the HX1000 and 1050 were dogs, however most tier lists have the entire HX line in the same tier.

How does the Antec HCP 1000 w/ a jonnyguru performance rating of 9.0 wind up in the same tier as the 850 and 1300 model which gets a 10.0 in both performance and Build Quality ? Or the 1200 model which gets 9.5 in both ?

Can you elaborate why Antec TP is bad? I know there is more than one TP model so I'd like to know if the Antec TP Classic is a bad unit.

Jonnyguru gives the TP Classic a 9, whilst the power supplies are covered by 5 year warranty.

Antec TPC 550w

Again, just cause the 750 is good that doesn't mean the 450 500 is good.

The TPC series is made by Seasonic and the 550 is somewhat limited in that it only had two PCIE cables which is why I can not recommend it. The 650 is a wiser choice as it would allow you to add a 2nd GFXX card.

The TPG is made by Delta
