Greetings. I am thinking of upgrading my GTX 560ti card for R9 380 4GB.
I am trying to figure out if my current PSU would be sufficient or i need to upgrade that as well. I am currently using CORSAIR Enthusiast Series CMPSU-550VX 550W.
If this is not sufficient what would you recommend as upgrade? (I am considering sticking with Corsair, but other recommendations are appreciated.)
 
Solution
The R9 380 requires 28A and 500W minimum. That PSU will be enough for that GPU although I would recommend a bit more power that PSU has more than enough power on the 12V rail to push for the R9 380.
