Hello, can my power supply handle the mentioned GPUs below? I'm planning to buy a new gpu on july, yes I do know pascal series is coming out and I will have a look at them, but for now, I'm stuck on choosing between those cards, but just making sure whether they would work on my PSU or not, my Rig specs are:- CPU: i5 4690k non OC-ed, GPU: Asus HD 7850 DCU2 V2, PSU: Corsair CX600.
now I know the CX600 is a tier 4 psu, but I had no option, I had that and deepcool 500W option for the same price, both bronze certified, but the reviews on CX600 were better so I got that, anyway the GPU's I have in my mind are:
- GTX 970
- R9 390
- R9 380x
- R9 380 [4GB]
- GTX 960 [4GB]
my resolution is 1920x1080 and not planning to upgrade to 1440p or higher, and I have a liquid cooler too if that counts on PSU wattage, and 3x 120mm fans.
if you can help me decide, it would be great, now my budget is kinda tight, I can afford the mentioned gpus but is the price/performance ratio between the gtx 970 vs the R9 380x worth it? the R9 380x is $80 cheaper than gtx 970 [zotac one cheapest].
Thank you.

Love my 960, i max everything out and get 60+ fps. BF4 maxed i get 70-80. Fallout 4 maxed i sit around 90 fps. GTA V i can play easily at 100 fps. Grid Autosport i can easily do 100 fps as well. The Forest i can do 60 fps. etc...

Whilst you do have power to spare, how do you know this? Kill-a-watt meter at the wall?
